I’m Single And Mingling And Making No Apologies For It

Who are you to judge people who choose to casual date.

People give casual talking and/or dating a bad name but that’s exactly what I’m doing and I make no apologies for it. I’m living as I call it my “hottest life” and enjoying it to the fullest.

Now right away people will start slut shaming because I’m not just single and I’m not taken either so the assumption is I’m sleeping around and trying to make myself sound better. And to be clear that is absolutely NOT the case. Just because I’m a girl whose casual dating doesn’t mean I’m a slut sleeping around. That’s not me at all. I have a firm belief sex is only meant for someone you’re in love with but that’s not the assumption people make about girls who casually date. Automatically we are slut shammed with no questions asked.

I’m a 20-year-old college student trying to balance college course, work, friends and family and more so someone is going to have to be damn sure amazing to make me want commitment right now. It’s just not something I feel the need for right now. I’ve been in love before and although it’s the most amazing feeling in the world when it ends it crushes you and I’m at a point in life right now where love is not worth the risk. But this doesn’t mean I hate love or people in relationships or am shunning them forever. It just means at the stage I’m in my life right now I’m not looking for something serious. I’d rather focus on everything else I have going on in life and if the opportunity arises to go on some dates with someone or casually talk. But I should not have to apologize for living my life the way I am. And I sure as hell am not going to.

I’ve become a strong independent woman who just wants to live life to the fullest. So leave your judgment to yourself because I’m doing me and loving every second of it.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
