Adventures in Online Dating Part 2

I'm back again with another rendition of adventures in online dating. It has been about three weeks since my last article on the subject, so I thought I'd give an update. I have met a few very nice people, however, as someone who has anxiety, it can get to be a lot. Sometimes texting three different people at the same time can be detrimental to one's mental health. So while all of this is fun and games, always remember to do what is best for you and to take a break. Now that the PSA is out of the way, let us get into it.

This week I decided to try and tinder and it is something else. The first thing I noticed is that people are BOLD. Some are straight up and just want to hook up, some are there to mess with people, and there's is a very small percent who might want a relationship. A lot of conversations go like this,

"insert pick-up line"

"haha really funny"

"thanks, so you looking to ****"

*block

It's a rough world out there. Then there's the few who start conversations with you and want to know everything about you. Then BAM, they ask you for a picture and they ruin it. Word of advice, not a great way to get someone to want to talk to you more. Then there is my personal favorite, adding someone on snap and then you just stop talking to each other. My views on my story have never been higher.

To the few nice guys, thank you, you give me faith in humanity. However, that''s just two people so it still is like a 2% chance. Next week I will be back after asking other people their stories and opinions on online dating! Until next time, happy dating and be safe!!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
