15 Reasons Why Modern Dating Sucks

I read somewhere recently that Modern Dating should actually be called the "hook-up game", and that made me realize more than ever that Modern Dating sucks. Why can't we go back to the old fashioned dating ways, and do things the right way instead of just "talking" to someone just to hook up with them. Please enjoy these real life struggles of Modern Dating.

1. You do not spend enough time getting to know each other before jumping into a relationship.

It can be considered the "cool thing" to do.

2. The person who cares less has every last drop of the power.

I mean who really wants to be the one more interested. But seriously. What ever happened to two people caring deeply for each other.

3. Phone calls?

What. Are. Those. Who even makes phone calls anymore. Honestly, I would prefer a phone call over a text, but I guess that is just me.

4. "Let's chill" or "Wanna hang out?"

AKA - "Let's hook up." Literally, ew.

5. People are scared of commitment.

Which means they'll stay in a relationship without labels until it all comes crashing down.

6. Social media makes it more tempting and easier to cheat.

Nothing more needs to be said on this.

7. No text back?

That text definitely went through.

8. Plenty of people will not care very much about your relationship.

They will go after you significant other regardless.

10. Being dumped is awful.

They'll probably take the easy was out and dump you by sending you a text message.

11. Your creep level is definitely associated with how attractive you are.

It is the sad, sad truth that is in Modern Dating.

12. You are either going to break up or stay together forever.

Okay, this one can really go with any kind of dating but it can still suck either way.

13. Telling people how you really feel is too difficult.

Usually people will just send you a song or quote that kind of expresses how they may or may not feel about you.

12. F. O. M. O.

The fear of missing out. That is all.

13. Immediately responding to a text is considered a sin.

You have to wait at least twice as long as they did anymore.

14. We have ridiculously high expectations of what a relationship is supposed to be like because of social media.

Because who does not want the typical Tumblr-esque relationship.

15. People are not as moral as they used to be.

It really stinks, but that is how our culture is.

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.
