Dating In This Generation

Welcome to the millennials!

Dating In This Generation
Fusion

Welcome to the generation most looked down upon for good reasons — the millennials. Everyone hears about us. Everyone knows the shenanigans. Everyone looks down on this generation because of the way we represent ourselves. I know everyone says, "Well, look at who we were raised by," but now most of the people I am talking about are anywhere from the ages of about 16-30 and even older. But, the main group of ages I am talking about is 16-24 for the most part.

Dating in this generation is not common. Boys just want to mess around and not make things official. Boys try to say they're men but show they are actually only boys. Some of them hook up with anything that walks — literally. While I am saying this, I am not saying that every boy in this generation is the same considering I am dating a man that's the complete opposite of all this, but I still see and hear about this every day.

Now lets not just blame it all on the guys, the girls are to blame also. The girls don't want to go for the nice guys. That's been true for many years. Yet these girls would most likely also say there are no nice guys in this generation. That's probably because they're not looking in the right place. The girls are just as much to blame as the guys, and the things they both doing together have exaggerated the issue.

There's a sense of that if you lack attachment they will like you better. Don't act crazy. Don't be with them all the time. Go out still, and ignore your significant other because we can't get attached — that's the problem. People are scared of attachment. There are trust issues that suddenly everyone has along with being emotionally unavailable. We live in a generation that says you shouldn't get attached. You should be emotionally unavailable, and you shouldn't try too hard for the one you want.

This generation can't even ask someone on a date. Netflix and chill is all we have, and I don't even know if that's such a big thing anymore. It's more like come over, lets hangout for a little while, get to know each other, but not enough that you can hurt me. We will talk for a few weeks then I'll move on and be with someone new. But, why? Why does it have to be like that? It doesn't, and it shouldn't. Dating needs to change in this generation, but as many times as we say it does, it'll take years before it happens.

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.

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.
