The Truth About Lying.

Once a Liar, Always a Liar

Do you remember the first time you found out he lied to you? Let me guess, it was about where he was at or who he was with. And don't play the card: "He's never lied to me." Because we all know, that at some point or another, everyone lies. It's inevitable. But let's be honest for a minute, do you want to be with someone who felt the need to lie to you about what he is doing when you're not around? Consider these five points before you submit yourself into a lying relationship.

1. Once you forgive the first lie, he will lie again.

Think about it, if you give in to the first lie, he knows you forgive him every single time. You don't have to punish him like a puppy, or glare at him every time he walks in the room, but if you want to make the relationship work, you'll find a way to let him know the lie is not acceptable.

2. Acting like it never happened, makes him believe you really don't remember it.

This is so important. If you never bring it up ever again, he thinks it's not important to your relationship. You don't have to be one of those awful girlfriends that brings up the past every single day or every time you fight, but don't let him just get away with a lie. Especially when it is something on your mind and bothering you.

3. When he says he is sorry for lying, don't believe him.

If he was sorry for lying, he wouldn't have lied. The second he got caught, he knew he was stuck. He was faced with either the chance to tell the truth or tell a lie. Let’s be real, we as females normally already know the truth or the answer to what we’re asking, so when he lies, he knows he is really going to be in deep $h!t. Yet, he willingly chose to lie. Every lie is a choice.

4. After he apologizes, do NOT say "It's okay," or "It's fine."

This is very similar to #2; you are accepting lying as a part of your relationship when you use these two phrases. You are saying, “It’s okay that you lied, because you’ve done it before. And now, I know you will do it again because I told you it is okay.” You have to think about it in terms of a four year old. “Tommy, you shouldn’t play in the toilet, but it’s okay.” The only message that is sending is that it will be fine the next time.

5. There is someone out there who will treat you better.

I know you probably think this is the only guy for you, no one will ever understand you the way he does, he completes you, you can’t live without him. Well ladies, that is purely BOLOGNA! There are so, so may men out there in the world that will treat you better than someone who lies to you. Sure this guy might have been everything you wanted at one point or another, but prince charming doesn’t lie to his princess in any fairytale. You can’t expect the happy ending you want If you hold yourself to something lower than a princess.

Next time you’re contemplating your relationship, and wondering how many times he has lied to you, the answer is probably way more than what you think. But do not think for a second that a liar is what you deserve. Remember your worth when he comes home with a mouth full of lies, and imagine a life with the real man you deserve.

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.

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.
