How To Maintain A Not-So-Fluffy Relationship
Philmore Hughes

We all have our times; the good, the bad, and the ugly times. The days of cuddling and not caring much about the outside world have gone, and for a college student, the workload is the only thing that seems to love you. Well, I can tell you that for the most part that your schoolwork does love you, and it shows by the amount of work that is piled onto your weekend. So now that you have a huge amount of work on you, you have less time to spend alone with your significant other, plus the stress of school work puts you guys on the hot seat to call it quits. Although the water has reached its boiling point in the relationship, I encourage you all to drop a bucket of ice in the pot, and establish an unbreakable bond through what I like to call "the love stare."

There are many reasons why a current relationship is on the ropes. There are trust issues, lack of attention, and also jealousy that play a factor into many fights nowadays. But there are also many ways that you can fix that, utilizing the love stare.

So one might ask, what is the love stare? Well, the love stare is similar to an intervention with minor fixes. Anyone of any race and sex can do the love stare and it is highly effective if you show that you care. First, if you can, it is best if you take your significant other out to eat which will create a setting that will be most appropriate for the love stare. The movies, amusement parks or even an evening stroll in the park can also be sufficient, but if you’re not able to, a quiet spot should be just fine. It is essential that you do not take the night only to talk or to work out the situation; it should be a night out with something special in mind.

While you and your partner are enjoying the night, you start by holding him or her closely in your arms. This is around the time that all or most of the stress should leave your head, so make sure you relax and let past arguments or problems go. Now the time has come to execute the love stare. This is not just a stare; this is an overflow of emotions and feelings. I want you to express just how much you care about the one you love, and not just say that you love them. Let everything out and don’t hold anything back for if you do, you will regret it in the near future.

After that, you should really see an improvement within your partner’s body language, and he or she should show his or her appreciation towards you. Although you may think this ends all problems that you may have faced, you have to show that what you say is what you mean. True love is showing it as well as speaking it. It’s what makes or breaks your relationship and it should be the foundation in everything you do. Live life remembering that everything you do, you do it together.

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.

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.

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.
