5 Things I’ve Learned Trying to Become a Gold Coast Sugar Baby

It isn't all sweet.

Whether you’re looking for that extra rent money or just some extra cash to stunt on your friends, we’ve all considered being someone’s sugar baby at one point or another.

1. Sugar Terminology

There are so, so, so many acronyms. Perhaps to unite those within the community or cover those who don’t wish to be recognized. Being a part of the sugar bowl means you need to learn a language very specific to the community. I love the term sugaring. Sugaring. Sweet, sweet cash.I could say it a million times and never get tired of it. There's POTS (Potential Sugar Daddies), SDs (Sugar Daddies), and SBs (Sugar Babies). Freestylers are the gods of the sugar bowl; they pick up their daddies inperson. Splenda Daddies are alright; they just can’t offer the same amount of sugar that SDs do. But what you never want to reach into the sugar bowl and get a Salt Daddy (a POT that won’t pay). Ugh.

2. You aren't really sugaring unless...

You aren't really sugaring unless you're willing to risk your morals. You're not really an SB if you don't play by the rules. You’re not a great SB until you play by your SDs rules and nothing else. I suggest don’t start sugaring unless you are strong in your conviction; if you really don’t want to have sex with your SD in that sketchy alley just because that fulfills their fantasy, then say no! Most likely you’ll get your sugar anyway.

3. WARNING: SUGARING IS NOT FOR BLACK GIRLS

Ever been on Omegle on a Friday night in high school with your friends and in a group of white guys with polo shirts, one of them out of the blue throws the N-word at you? Expect something similar when sugaring. Except sugaring is much worse because you have to face the racists in person. And these are grown men.

4. Get ready to be plastered over every dating site imaginable.

Tinder, FetLife, SA (Seeking Arrangement), OkCupid (or what I like to call OkStupid). You’ve got to put your mug and your assets EVERYWHERE to even be considered by one of these daddies. SDs rarely leave the house anymore, it seems like the golden era of technology has even made sugaring more discreet, even if that discreteness goes out the window once you and a man twice your age step into a bar late at night.

5. It's actually sex work. Like actually.

Here comes the moment when I realize I don't have the balls enough to be a sex worker and promptly delete tinder, Fetlife, OkStupid and every other outlet I thought would lead to millions of sugary dollars. Or at the very least thousands.

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.
