6 Types of Dating App Bios And How It Defines what That potential Thinks About You
Matheus Ferrero

It's summertime, friends. A lot of you are looking for some summer love, and a lot of you are probably breaking up with your boyfriend and girlfriend and are looking to rebound with someone new, so I am here to help. It seems this online dating thing is sticking around for more and more decades to come. However, a lot of you *cough cough women cough* have literally the worst bios in the history of online dating, and this is my week to roast. If you hate me now from my previous articles, oh boy you haven't seen anything yet.

1. "I am looking for the Jim to my Pam."

Giphy

Wow, how original. It seems like you are the only twenty-something year old that watches "The Office." If any of you are using this line in your bio right now, please be more original. The lack of creativity with this bio is apparent, and Jim and Pam aren't even the best couple in that entire show (YEAH I SAID IT, SUE ME DAMN IT). Do everyone a favor and change it to someone else.

2. "I am not looking for hookups."

Giphy

I laugh at this one because any girl who says she is not looking for hookups is usually the ones hooking up first (be pissed at me, I love the attention). You saying this just invites other people to try and hookup with you, and the fact you're saying this on an online dating website is the most ironic thing ever because let's be honest, who gets their first impression from someone's personality anymore?

3. "I can't live without *insert massive list here*"

Giphy

Seriously, how picky are you? You literally get three to five seconds to make an impression and you put an essay of nothing in your bio, it's annoying. I know what you're thinking: Okay Chris, you're one to talk, it seems like no girl is going after you with that attitude of yours. No shit they aren't, because I get annoyed with all of you that it makes it hard for me to attracted in the first place. This point is probably gonna screw me in the near future in the off chance some girl has feelings for me, but I have to brutally honest with those one, you sound like a needy asshole.

4. "Swipe left if.."

Giphy

Complete that sentence with whatever you want, but why are you already striking people out of the game that you're not even playing yet? How shallow are you? Stop with this swipe left bullshit, give a dude a chance, he might surprise you, or might be the biggest disappointment of your life, but regardless, give it a chance.

5. "The Cheerleader Effect" in pictures.

Giphy

Group photos are nice. Having just group photos just makes us assume you're the ugliest girl in the picture. Have one, maybe two, personal pictures in your profile so we actually know who you are. Otherwise, we're assuming the worst, and it's a lot easier than playing the guessing game.

6. No bio at all.

Giphy

Boring like Golden State being Cleveland in the NBA Finals. Give us something to work with here – something is better than nothing. Even putting one stupid quote in your bio gives us something to work with, but nothing at all is usually an automatic left swipe.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

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.
