7 Relationships You Won't Find In A Bedtime Story

Growing up, all the childhood books your mom would read you at bedtime contained stories where the woman was always rescued by the man and they lived happily ever after. They never talked about the man's side hoe or the booty call the woman had before she met her prince charming. Thankfully college gives a more accurate bedtime story about relationships.

Here are a few relationships you probably never heard about in your childhood bedtime story:

1. The Booty Call

The relationship step up from the one night stand. You only talk after 11 p.m. and it's strictly to see if the other is free. There is usually no spending the night because that could lead to a morning conversation or breakfast and that is against the rules. You don't ask each other about their day or their feelings because you honestly don't care.

2. The Study Buddies

You guys share a hard class together and a mutual attraction. One day the teacher assigns a project or big test and one of you suggest to study together. You text each other about the work only so the conversation can lead into "studying." Next thing you know, you're an hour into your study session and all your studying is sexology when you were supposed to be studying stats.

3. The One Night Stand

You make eye contact across the bar and know it will be a one night stand at first sight. But once the night is over and morning rolls around you say your goodbyes and go your separate ways, usually without exchanging a last name or even a phone number.

4. The in Limbo Couple

You both have one foot on the single side and one foot on the exclusive side but neither of you have brought up the conversation that will steer you both to one side. You do all the things a couple would do without explicitly referring to each other as your boyfriend/girlfriend.

5. The Fairy Tale

Every girl has that one boy who she fantasizes about. He may be in your class or someone you see in the gym but either way, you guys have never made it past the common social graces. But maybe one day you will become irresistible and he will come save you from your tower of misery and you will live happily ever after... yeah, one day.

6. The why are you even dating couple??

We all know the couple who stays together but also stays with someone else on the weekends. They have been together since high school but can't seem to call it quits even though both of their hearts are obviously elsewhere.

7. The Lucky Ones

That one couple that seems to have it all. They are both genuinely interested in making the relationship work and think the utmost best of each other. There is the possibility they can make it to the end and everyone dreams of one day having what they have one. They're proof that fairytales may just exist.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
