Where Did You Find Your Soulmate?

The truth about online dating.

Where Did You Find Your Soulmate?
Alyssa Newcomb

Meeting people online tends to beat meeting people in person. Most people lean more towards searching for someone special for them through online dating. They do this because of a lack of luck with people who they have met in person; or, perhaps, everyone that they have dated in the past has come with their own set of issues. Online dating has its difficulties as well. Nothing beats actually meeting your soulmate in person. From the dates to the late night movie nights and deep conversations, everything is better when you've met someone face to face.

People you meet online may not actually be who they portray themselves to be. To some, it's better to hide behind a desktop while being thousand of miles away. It's easier and more comfortable to lie and hide things that may interfere with someone else's life. They have a tendency to also cover up their insecurities which can result in someone getting hurt and feeling like they have wasted their time.

Online dating is not all bad; it also has its positivities as well. You may actually find the missing piece to your puzzle — the piece that you have been searching for your whole life. You may end up meeting your other half, your soulmate, by engaging in this online experience. You meet someone who doesn't just hide behind a desktop and who actually develops the same feelings and has the same intentions that you have.

As I conclude this piece, take a moment to think about these statistics: An estimated 40 billion people in the United States participate in online dating. 66 percent of married couples actually met on online dating sites.

Meeting people online can be the best thing that happened in your life, and can also be the worst. For more information on the percentage of dating people online visit :http://www.match.com/magazine/article/4671/.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
