Ever had a guy that is super controlling and clingy? If you're not sure he is, then read this article to see if any of these symptoms apply. If they do, then maybe you should re-evaluate what he contributes to your life and communicate with him about how this is becoming a problem.

  1. He seems sweet at first, but next thing you know he’s trying to involve himself in every aspect of your life. He’s involved with your friend's life, he’s involved with your work, your school… you get the idea.
  2. He wants to come over every. Single. Day. Attention is great, but when he wants to be apart of your life 24/7 it becomes a problem.
  3. He starts to become clingy to your own friends too. I love a man that is best friends with my friends, but it’s an issue when he starts to even annoy your friends…
  4. He tells literally the whole world that you guys are official when you guys really are not.
  5. He starts to become controlling in very little things in your life that eventually becomes very apparent that he is controlling.
  6. You think he’s advising you, but really he’s just trying to manipulate the situation to his own benefit
  7. His friends start to “spy” on everything you do and update him like it’s their job.
  8. He checks up on you over text message to make sure you are not doing anything stupid without him being there to supervise.
  9. He plays the victim every time you mention that he is getting way too clingy.
  10. He guilt trips you to make himself feel better and seem like a hero to you... when you did not do anything wrong in the situation
  11. In the end, you need to acknowledge that he is the problem and that he needs to give you space to live. If he does not respect that, he does not respect you.

It's important to live a healthy relationship with the man you are seeing or in a relationship with. If any of his actions do bring you negativity in your life, make sure to communicate those concerns with him and vocalize your concerns. If it continues to happen, girl drop him you can do much much better!

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.
