People argue that love, at first sight, is a real thing, but let's be real. We all pay attention to the little details of a person before we will ever drop the L word. If we notice any of these deal-breakers with a potential lover, though, count us out.

1. They are stuck in high school long after graduating

Listen, once high school is over, it's over. If the only social media pictures on your account are from high school sports and other activities, especially if one is set as your profile picture years later, consider us gone. Most of us want to forget high school, not relive it!

2. They have no ambition

Nothing is more attractive than a person with a plan. Nothing is less attractive than someone who could care less about their future. It will never be attractive to be careless.

3. They treat their parents with little respect

I firmly believe that there is a connection between how a person will treat their parents and how they will treat you. Nobody wants to be caught in a family feud on the first date.

4. They can't get off their phone

If they find social media more interesting than being on a date with you, they simply are not worth your time!

5. They still aren't over their ex


Nobody wants to be scrolling through their crush's Twitter only to find subtweets that are clearly intended for that person's ex. Be sure you are both ready to take things to the next level.

6. They hate dogs/cats

If your crush hates dogs and cats, run. Red flag. Unless they are allergic, of course, then it is open to discussion.

7. They move too far too fast

Boundaries are everything, and if a crush pushes it too far, know that they will likely continue to disregard your wishes.

8. They put little effort into building a relationship

You'll begin to feel like a hassle if you are the only person contributing to the potential relationship. Pretending not to care has never and never will be attractive.

9. They don't listen

If your crush does not care about what you have to say, do not bother trying to catch their attention.

10. They are not concerned with their hygiene

First impressions are everything, and if it is obvious they did not put any time into looking decent, it can say a lot about what kind of person they are.

We have all been victim to a crush who is guilty of one or more of these deal-breakers. Sometimes, it's okay to give them the benefit of the doubt, but most of the time it is perfectly fine to say sayonara!

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.

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. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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.
