You Don't Have To Date Him, You Just Have To Have Fun

We're over the idea of committed relationships. Women can be happy, too.

I'm so tired of the idea that you won't be happy unless you're in a committed relationship, especially for women when having relations with a man. The status of life and behavior in our culture has been changed drastically during the 21st century and continues still. From gender to sexual orientation, people are able to be more open about their bodies, desires, and entirely themselves.

So why do women have to be canonized for their lack of faith in the presumption that they can only be romantically involved with the one person they are dating?

Men have been left off the hook multiple times as "just a player," and "he'll break your heart, so watch out." But what about the women who are looking for the same thing?

Maybe she wants to follow in Marina and the Diamonds footsteps on how to be a heartbreaker. She shouldn't automatically be restored to as a slut or whore for not wanting to be committed while a male gets a slap on the wrist.

Times have changed for males, and they should also for women.

With that though, comes a different sense of responsibility for everyone, not just females. You need to make sure you're being safe to yourself physically, mentally, and emotionally. The second this is no longer entertaining in any of these aspects is when it can become a problem, and it is no longer a safe environment.

If you ever feel like you're doing it for the wrong reason, don't keep doing it because you've been framed this way, and it's the only way to live. Do it because you are proud and willing, not because they have written prostitute on your forehead so you have to sleep around.

You do decide who, when, where, why, and with whom. Don't ever let anyone take that away from you.

Though it sounds cliche, the only person who will be with you forever is you, You have to make sure you're taking care of yourself before anything. You do you, boo, always and forever.

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.
