How Important is Your Relationship Status?

Is changing your Facebook status or bio on Instagram more important than staying in a dead end relationship? Or the fact that you would have to be single for awhile before being in another relationship?

Being in a relationship should not have to be one person doing all the work while the other person has another life behind their back. A person should not have to flatter them with gifts or travel to see them to make sure they do not get cheated on.

Some people would rather be in a relationship than to be single and without a significant other. Why has it became so important for people to stay in a dead end relationship? Do they need to constantly have someone in their life to make them happy when truthfully they are not even happy? If someone needs to have someone constantly in their life to make them happy, maybe they need to reevaluate their life?

People who are single know how to depend on themselves and how to be happy without having someone. I find that those who are single know a good relationship when they get in one.They have been single for awhile to know what they want and not take anything else. I think it is good to be single for awhile to know what they are looking for and not a status on Facebook to change.

People who hop from one relationship to the next, are they doing it for all of the right reasons? What are they truly getting out of that? Are they doing that so they won't be single?

What happened to dating when it was taken seriously? Couples actually were committed to one another and stayed faithful. They actually were open and honest with one another. It seems nowadays that it is okay to cheat on one another. Cheating can be defined as acting dishonestly or unfairly. A person does not have to cheat by being with someone else but taking time away with that person by cheating through social media. They use their time spent on social media instead of with that other person.

Is the information on Instagram or the idea of deleting pictures more important than ending a relationship? The fact that everyone on their social media would know they were single? If the idea of being single to a person is worse than being in a relationship, maybe they need to reevaluate their personal life. Someone that is single does not have a disease and neither will you for being single. People probably talk about your relationship when they see something wrong with it. Would a person rather hear that their friend is glad they are out of the unhealthy relationship than keep hearing whispers?

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.
