7 Things You Eventually Must Confront When You Constantly Avoid Arguments
Adriana Gil

Some people avoid arguments at all costs. Even if they have a valid point or they are good at backing up their argument, they will try to avoid them because they just don't like them.

Here are some things that happen if you avoid arguments constantly:

1. You become very anxious when put on the spot to solve a problem.

When you’re confronted with a problem that you know you can start an argument, you become very anxious about how to go about solving it.

2. None of your solutions seem to be valid enough.

Not only do you struggle to come up with a way to solve things, but when you have ideas on how to solve your problems, none of them seem good enough. You’re too busy worrying about the consequences of one solution.

3. You cause more problems by trying to avoid them.

You really do not want to argue, but by not addressing the problem, you end up with more problems. One thing you know could have been solved earlier, ends up causing more because it was never solved.

4. When you discuss one problem, you discuss them all.

When you finally crack and talk about one problem, they all come out. Keeping the problems were obviously not the right things to do.

5. You pick your fights strategically.

You understand that not everything needs to be argued. You observe the other person and then decide if something needs to be discussed or not.

6. You tend to compromise more to avoid problems.

You give in way more easily when you try to avoid a problem. Even if you don’t really like what is going on, you’ll go with it to save yourself and whoever you’re arguing with, a bad time.

7. You let others get away with things.

By not addressing the problems, you let people get away with things you don’t like. Letting them get away with it, eats away at you, but you don’t want to argue about the problem.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
