Dating in the twenty-first century.

Are We Getting Trumped?

This has been a very interesting few weeks.

Trump has lost quite the number of votes thinking he can have any woman he wants because he’s a celebrity and two of the people I care about has dealt with shitty breakups. So I can easily say it hasn’t been fun for everyone.


It makes me wonder, what chance do people have at falling in love?

Does it last?

Are you always going to be looking around wondering when the relationship is going to end?

When will they eventually tire of you and find someone else?


I don’t think people care anymore, and maybe they do. Maybe I’m wrong, but this leaves me wondering whether I want to find love. whether or not I want to put myself out there when I know nine times out of ten something is going to go wrong.

I think it’s our generation.

No longer do we care about ourselves but rather our careers and how to easily get ahead in life so much so that love just doesn’t seem important anymore.

Has dating lost its appeal?

Have we forgotten what it’s like to want to fall in love?

To put in the effort to make someone happy?

To make ourselves happy?

Why is there such a need to spend one night with a person and then leave?

To wake up while they are still sleeping, quietly put on your clothes with no good-byes and walk away?

Is that the kind of world we want future generations to grow up in?


If you feel as though being in a relationship isn’t for you, don’t get someone else’s hopes up. Don’t pretend to want what they want just so that you can spend weeks, months, years with them only to realize that you didn’t truly care in the first place, but rather you wanted to appease the other person. Don’t date someone for five or more years, call them the one only to break up and start sleeping with someone a few days later. I remember days when people used to care when men would woe women…. where conversations were over the phone or in person not on a dating app or through text.

Are we even human?

Or are we all becoming lesser versions of Donald Trump?

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.
