Dating In The 21st Century Is Full Of Games, Just Like The Movie 'Saw'

Dating in this time isn't really dating but rather a bunch of games that lead no where.

Most of my articles are attacks at college men, I'm fully aware.. but this time I thought I'd take a completely different approach and just attach this generation in general. Females and males are both equally responsible for this dating age of playing games with other peoples emotions and leading nowhere.

I've personally been a victim as well as a game player and being on either end can really suck. Being into someone who doesn't want you back the way you want them and making you believe that there's an end in sight in the near future when there's really not is a terrible feeling. Now playing a game with someone's heart and making them believe that you like them as more than a friend or just using them is also not okay.

This is the culture that this generation has started where most of us don't take dating seriously and just play with each other's emotions. There have been many times where I've played with a guys emotions without even intentionally meaning to do it and then feeling awful about it later. That in mind, there has also been plenty of guys who have played games with me, some leaving me sad and others didn't even surprise me.

It's a cycle that's sadly never-ending in today's society. You want someone you can't have but there's always going to be someone that wants you and can't have you. It's a cycle that's so hard to break and emotions always get toyed with.

Not every single relationship or person falls into this category, don't get me wrong. There's a lot of real relationships that occur in college and last a long time that let me know that there is hope for our society.

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.
