7 Things To NEVER Put Or ALWAYS Put On Your Tinder Profile

Yes, I know Tinder is trash but you don't have to strive to be the worst person on it.

So there's this terrible app called Tinder. If you're in college and you don't know what I'm talking about, you're either in a healthy relationship (go you I will never be able to relate) or you actually live under a rock. Either way, if you haven't had the misfortune of being on Tinder you really are missing out on an interesting, to say the least, experience. Scrolling through profiles is what you do when you have absolutely nothing better to do or when you're actively avoiding your homework.

Not that I think Tinder is a place to find real love or genuine connections since love isn't real, but at the very least you get to talk to people and possibly hang out with them which could be fun...maybe. The real reason I use Tinder, despite it being terrible is that I really enjoy being judgemental and it not having any consequences *insert upside down smiley face emoji here.* But there are things that people put (or don't put) in there profiles that make them annoying. Here is a list of what not to do (PLEASE take notes):

1. Fish

I know we live in the south and people go fishing, which is fine I guess but why do you feel the need to hold up the fish you caught in a picture for your tinder profile? It's not cute. I'm not quite sure what you're trying to convey or why you thought that was a good idea. I suppose it's to show that you're "resourceful" but there are better ways to portray that than holding up a small water creature.

2. Not Having a Bio

Look, I'm boring so I get that it can be hard to make yourself seem cool but for god sakes, I'll give you more credit for trying than I will for leaving it blank. It makes me think you literally do nothing or have less personality than a rock. Write SOMETHING there even if it rhymes and it's dumb. Unless you write "don't know what to put here lol" which is probably more infuriating than putting nothing there at all.

3. Dead Deer/Turkeys/Ducks/Anything

Again, I get that we're in the south, but hunting? I don't understand. I don't think a picture of you with a dead animal is going to make me find you attractive, actually, it's kind of repelling. I don't like seeing dead animals in general but the fact that you're posing beside it is kind of creepy to me. Do you like posing beside dead things? For all, I know you have dead humans that you pose beside to. And that kind of person is not someone I want to have in my life.

4. Group Photos

One or two group photos is completely fine. Showing that you aren't socially inept is a positive thing. BUT when every photo is group photo and I actually have to devote real time to figure out which person you are in every picture, then I'm going to swipe left because I don't have time to care that much. Unless I discover that you're the attractive one, in which case my sleuthing skills paid off.

5. No Angles

I don't mean I don't want you to take pictures at different angles, I mean not knowing yours. Trust me, NOBODY looks good head on so I'm not sure why you'd use a picture like that for your Tinder profile. Also, if you take all of your pictures from the same angle, which I am also guilty of, then it makes you look one-dimensional yes, pun intended. I don't expect you to take professional, model quality photos but I would like some variety? Please be creative with your photos, friends.

6. One. Single. Photo.

I must say those people are probably my least favorite people on the planet. How do you only have one picture of yourself? Are you a real person? Do you only take a new picture every seven years? Like, what is the deal here? Why did you even bother coming to this site if you only have one picture of yourself?? Possibly the only thing worse than only having one picture are the people who have the same picture on their profile multiple times. I'm like "yes I saw it the first time, do you have anything else?"

7. Spotify

If you don't link your Spotify, I assume it's because you're dead inside and you don't like music. However, just know that if you do link it, I will not only judge what you look like but based on your music taste as well. Such as, if you listen to Post Malone and 21 Savage and actually enjoy it, then we probably don't have much in common.

So, please, for the sake of my sanity, link your Spotify, kids, so I can know whether or not I'd want to jump out of a moving car if I had to go anywhere with you.

So here's what to do and what not to do with your profile so I suggest logging in right now and changing what's wrong with it.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
