'What Happens In Vegas, Stays In Vegas' Doesn't Excuse Cheating On Your Partner

Las Vegas' motto may be "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas," but I would like you to remember this is simply a marketing strategy. Cheating on your significant other in Vegas is not fair to you or your partner. If you're finding yourself cheating every time you travel, why are you even in a relationship?

Monogamy still applies in Vegas. If you get married in Vegas, your marriage is valid in the entire United States. If you have sex in Vegas and get an STI, that STI comes back from Vegas with you!

So, if you cheat on your partner in Vegas and pretend like it doesn't count, you are a trash person. Absolute dumpster fire. Cheating is absolutely unacceptable and allowing your partner to think that you were faithful when you were traveling WHEN YOU WERE NOT is garbage behavior. Cheating causes trust and intimacy issues that can be difficult to resolve, especially depending on how much time passes between the affair and the partner finding out about the affair.

Of course, Las Vegas is the obvious example here. But, this applies to anyone who travels and cheats. Don't be that person! Be loyal to your partner or break the f*ck up with them! Own up to what YOU really want. Nobody is forcing you to be in a relationship, so make sure you're actually happy with who you're dating. If your first instinct when you go to Vegas is to seek out someone else, you might be happier single.

My point here is to be respectful and loyal to your partner, even when you're traveling. If you find that too difficult, then you're with the wrong person! Relationships are supposed to be an enjoyable part of life, so why not date someone you're happy to be with?

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.
