My Honest Tinder Profile

Because honesty is the best policy.

My Honest Tinder Profile

Someone asked me recently, "Evan, if your Tinder profile were entirely honest, what would you say?" And that got me thinking: what would my honest Tinder profile be? What is it that I have about myself that makes me "special" or "desirable", if you choose to use that vernacular? I've been having a rough time figuring that out recently. So, here goes nothing.

I'm a busy individual. Most of my life consists of running around and doing things, and I love that. Try and keep up. I say that I love to go on adventures, and I mean that to a degree, but I think that a quality adventure is one where you learn about yourself in the process. I have adventures every day. It can be as mundane, for me, as trying something different at a coffee shop, to try and brighten my food horizons. It could be finally reading that giant autobiography of Alexander Hamilton cause I've got a penchant for American history. It could be falling too hard in love with someone and discovering the adventure of trying to navigate that. Try and keep up.

I'm an artist, and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Yes, I am, in fact, the person that will break out in song in the middle of a public place. Or on a bus. Or in the middle of a library. No shame in my game. Let's just cut the stereotype that all I listen to is show tunes because I work in the theatre: that's not true in the slightest. My music tastes, like most things in this world, are varied. Some days, all I want to listen to (on repeat, mind you) is We Didn't Stop the Fire. On days when I'm not in the best mood, I'll put on some Disturbed. Yeah, I'll even put on some rap, if I feel so inclined. I love different varieties of art, and I want someone who will appreciate art with me. I want someone who finds me losing my ever loving shit in the middle of Target when my favorite song comes on endearing, not annoying. So, if this all sounds like a burden to you, firmly swipe left.

I love food. Food and I have a good thing going on. Don't kid yourself: I'm never gonna look like Channing Tatum. I will not have abs for days. At all. Ever. On a really good day, I'll look a lot like Andy Dwyer from "Parks and Rec" and that's absolutely fine with me. I'll eat anything with you. I don't believe that Lima beans are an actual food. Or green peas. Those two things are inferior foods. They deserve a special place in whatever you consider to be "Hell", and firmly stay there. Let's get food sometime.

I don't know what I'm looking for right now. I don't know if I want a relationship. I dunno if I want to meet the one person I'm "meant to spend the rest of my life with", if that even exists. I just want you to be kind. I just want you to like my family. I just want you to be able to hang out with me on my couch with some dogs and it not phase you. I want someone who will also yell at me when I get too into a cooking show cause, most of the times, those ingredients don't go in a cupcake and you cannot convince me otherwise. I want someone who will take BuzzFeed quizzes with me at 3am while I vehemently deny that I am in no way, shape, or form Monica Geller from Friends...we all know I'm a mix of Chandler and Phoebe. Just like me for me, and nothing else. That's all that I've wanted for longer than you could possibly know.

Think you can do that for me? Well then, you know what to do...

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.

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.
