Bad-Mouth Your Ex To Make Yourself Look Better? Trust Me, THAT'S A Bad Look

I'm too smart, too funny, and too above you to be called "hoe" or "bitch" or "crazy."

Bad-Mouth Your Ex To Make Yourself Look Better? Trust Me, THAT'S A Bad Look

The way I see it, freshly-broken-up-with men only have a few words in their vocabulary.

"We broke up because she's a hoe."

"She's such a bitch."

"I can't believe I dated a slut."

"Oh, dude, she just started acting crazy."

How was I being a "hoe" or a "slut" if I was in a relationship with you? Just because I didn't want to share my body with someone who fat-shamed me for eating avocados, I'm a "hoe"? Because I chose to trust you before giving a piece of myself to you, you will define me as the exact opposite of myself?

At this point, no one asks any further questions when he says, "she was a hoe." I guess this generic one-liner is universal for, "She was too good for me, and I'm too hurt to tell you more about why she broke up with me."

My favorite insult has to be "crazy." I'll be the first to admit, I can find an unknown individual on social media within the minute, but honestly, I consider it a talent. Let me ask you, why am I crazy for asking questions I should be able to ask my significant other? Why am I crazy for being upset with you when there is truly something to be upset about?

The word "crazy" gets thrown around so much that I can't help but wonder if it actually means that "I don't have an answer for what you're asking so I'm just gonna go ahead and call you a psychopath." I know sometimes I've asked excessive questions, or picked fights over trivial things, but it was because I wanted to know more about you, to see you. I guess that today if girls make a real effort it's because we're "crazy."

So what, if I can find the girl whose name you just dropped, in under a minute? So what, if I barked at you for picking me up late for prom, making me miss all of the pre-prom photos? I might be crazy, but I'm too smart, too funny, and too above you to be called "hoe" or "bitch" or "crazy."

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.
