If You Check Your Boyfriend's Location Every Hour, Your Relationship Is Unhealthy

Recently, there has been conversation on the internet about what constitutes a "psycho girlfriend," and to this point, this article was published. In this article, the writer talks about how she's not a "psycho girlfriend," even though she checks her boyfriend's location every hour, and makes him keep his read receipts on at all times.

To any girl doing this, your relationship with your boyfriend is unhealthy.

I'm in a long-term relationship, which at one point, was long distance for a few months. Throughout this entire time, I have never checked my boyfriend's location. I trusted that he was faithful and that he's always telling me the truth. Couples need to trust each other for a relationship to last. Checking in on your boyfriend's location is showing that you don't trust him. Maybe he did something that made you not trust him, but no matter the reason, if you can't trust him then why are you two together?

Wouldn't you rather be with a guy that you don't feel the need to check in on every hour?

People have busy lives. Sometimes I don't respond to texts for several hours because I'm studying, I'm in class or I'm hanging out with friends. Your boyfriend has his own life, so if he doesn't respond in an hour, it doesn't mean he's kidnapped or dead. Give him space. My boyfriend works, and if I text him during the day, I don't assume something is wrong if he doesn't respond within an hour. Understandably, he's busy and has his own life.

If you want your boyfriend to read all your texts, you don't have to force him to keep his read receipts on. If your boyfriend genuinely cares about you, he'll read your messages regardless of whether or not the read receipts are on. Making him keep his read receipts on won't change how he feels about you. By having the read receipts on means that he opened the chat, but that doesn't mean he read everything you sent.

To any girl making her significant other do this, take a step back for a second. Give your man some space and believe that he loves you and wouldn't hurt you. Trust him, and you'll both feel better about your relationship.

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.
