Are Relationships The New Cosmo?

Giving seasonal a whole new meaning

Are Relationships The New Cosmo?
http://www.drodd.com/html7/cosmopolitan-drink.html

Seasons, like cosmopolitans, are cyclical—one minute we are quite in love with the drink and the next minute it's out like the wind on a spring morning. Sex and The City remind us that cosmos are tried and true, they are like the books that never go out of style, the dresses you never forget to wear, and the friends you always keep no matter the season. Have relationships become the new cosmo?

Millennials seem to throw out relationships like the weather changes in Georgia. First, you’re in and then you’re out, you become tired and boring—nothing to satisfy the short attention span we have grown accustomed to. Relationships are like a rare sale you find at your favorite store. The moment you see the sale, you realize you must look. There’s no harm in looking and while you’re there you find the perfect sheath dress and not to mention peep toes to go with. Who can argue with a sale so great? That’s like finding the perfect guy. It’s the sale you never expect but it happens anyways and you can’t say no.

But what happens after the sale, when you go home and try on your new outfit? You then realize that perfection doesn’t really exist and something will happen to that dress—to the shoes. You can’t return them, which is where we need to take the next step and realize that the only way to find our slight need of perfection is to take care of what you have—that way you no longer have a spring only relationship, but one that lasts year round.

For those who are still looking for that rare sale, don’t worry—it’ll be here before you know it. In the meantime, grab the girls and a Cosmo—these two will never go out of style.

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
