10 Things To Know Before Dating A Future Merchant Marine

I'm not usually one to give heads up on who girls should date, but I have had a few bad relationships in the past and now I'm dating an amazing guy. Keep in mind not all future merchant marines are like this but I know a few. My lucky guy was from Suny Maritime.

1. Be prepared for your first date to be two different things rather then one.

I thought we were only going to movies but I was wrong, we went to dinner after and I was definitely underdressed.

2. If dating a guy from Suny Maritime, prepare to be asked to ring ceremony.

3. Be ready to meet his friends and know that they are going to be in the wedding party if you two get married.

Also be ready to take a picture with them.

4. Your first valentine's day might involve weird couple photos and matching teddy bears.

5. Be prepared to hangout with his family for Christmas day, and be prepared for the theme of ugly sweaters and trying new food.

6. Be prepared to hear that half your family like him the first time you bring him home.

7. When he says you are the one, don't be scared.

Know that it means he's in it for the end result and he's serious about you two being together forever.

8. If he likes a different football team than you do, If possible bring him to see them play in person he will love you for it.

Try not to get photobombed in the process.

9. For his birthday be sure to post something to prove he means more than the world to you.

10. When you know he's the one make sure he is well aware.

Make sure to have talks about the future. Talks about the future must include the amount of children you want, where you want to get married and where you want your honeymoon to be located.

Finally, make sure to go through all of this and for sure you will be prepared to date a future merchant marine/ navy seal.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
