Compared to most girls in the world, I'd consider myself to be pretty low-maintenance when it comes to being in a relationship. I don't want expensive gifts or meals, nor do I need constant reassurance (although it is nice every once in a while). I don't need to be complimented every second of every day and I don't really want to be; being complimented too often makes them lose their effect.

There are 17 things that are required for a relationship that all cost less than a case of beer, and for all you frat boys out there, it cost less than your beer pong tables and solo cups combined. As a matter of fact, they are all free! So grab a pen and paper, boys, you might want to write a few of these down because even the girls who are high-maintenance will appreciate these...

1. Making her laugh

Trust me, nothing makes a girl fall in love with you harder than making her laugh till her stomach hurts.

2. Treating her as your equal

It's 2018 and women are more empowered than they have ever been. Give your support and never talk down to her.

3. ...but also treat her like the princess she is

Most likely, she's been her dad's princess her entire life... and now that she's yours, don't let her forget it.

4. Be her gentleman

Hold the door for her, open her car door, give her your jacket, pull out her chair for her; the opportunities are endless to show her you haven't forgotten how to win her heart.

5. Be her protector

While we can fight our own battles, it's nice to see you stand up for us whenever things get too hard for us to handle.

6. Be a good listener

Whether we're talking about our day, the problems we're facing, or just about random things that have happened, it's nice to know that you are listening and are engaged in the conversation. Not EVERYTHING has to be about sports or what happened at the last frat party.

7. Take cute pictures!

This is a big one. We want to be able to show you off on Instagram, show our friends what you look like, and have the pictures to keep for memories.

8. Wipe her tears away

Everyone has their breaking point, so be sure that you're there for her when she reaches hers.

9. Be someone who she can trust and put trust into her

cdn.pixabay.com

Trust is something incredibly important in a relationship and it can be easily broken. Make sure you're someone she can trust, and in turn you put your trust into her.

10. Be honest

cdn.pixabay.com

It really isn't that complicated. After all, we'll find things out quicker than the FBI.

11. Communicate with us

cdn.pixabay.com

As cliché as it is, communication is key. Tell us how you feel, what makes you upset, what you want to fix.

12. Be her pillow

cdn.pixabay.com

Remember this one... she'll have to return the favor eventually!

13. Remember her favorite things

cdn.pixabay.com

Her favorite color, her favorite animal, how she takes her coffee. Every detail is important.

14. Be spontaneous

cdn.pixabay.com

Go for a hike, go to the beach, for a walk in the woods, a picnic! Once again, the options are endless.

15. Show her you love her

cdn.pixabay.com

It's not always about telling her you love her, showing her can make all the difference.

16. Be able to sit around and do nothing

cdn.pixabay.com

It's about just being with her; being alone together.

17. Remind her that she's the only one who has your heart

cdn.pixabay.com

Like I said before, while I don't need constant reassurance, it is nice to get a reminder every once in awhile.

All of these examples are free and very easy to accomplish. Each one is important in a relationship and will only make her fall in love with you harder and faster.

However, a box of chocolates, flowers, or even a new pair of shoes wouldn't hurt.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
