Relationship? What's that?

Why Men Don't Work To Date Women

Being in college has opened my eyes to a lot of things, especially relationships. I constantly hear my friends talk about guys, as if they're the worst creatures ever. They're complaints range from the little things such as guys not holding the door open for them, to the major things such as guys only wanting sex. Dating is completelty different than from when our parents were young. Today, men don't work hard in order to get a woman. All the blame cannot be put on the men, though, women do have some part in this issue.

Nowadays women don't make men work for anything. The biggest complaint I hear about guys is that they only want sex. Women absolutely hate being treated as if they're easy. We live in a society where hooking up, and one-night stands are acceptable. According to a study published by cdc.gov, 11 percent of women waited until marriage to have sex with a man in the 1950-60s. Nowadays, women are more likely to have sex with a man way sooner. Thoughtcatalog.com did a survey with 100 men, and asked them "Would they date a women who had sex with them on the first night?' While some guys said yes they would, a lot of them disagreed, claiming that "although sex on the first date would be fun, they wouldn't date the woman"

I'm sure everyone has heard the saying "chivalry is dead". And to be quite honest it seems as if it is. In the mid 1900's it was typical for men to court women before dating. It was also typical of men to respect a woman, and open doors for her, or pull out her chair when they go out. Some people may argue that chivalry is outdated, but you would be surprised by how many women complain when guys don't hold the door open for them, or offer to carry a heavy package they may have. Nowadays men no longer hold the door open, pump gas, or pay for dinner, and women are way more independent than they were back in the day. They have high paying jobs, and are more than capable of doing things for themselves. This can sometimes lead women to believe that they have to do everything by themselves, in order to be a strong independent woman. But have you ever stopped to think that maybe you're taking being Ms.Independent a little too far? It's okay to be a woman who handles her business, but it's also okay to be vulnerable, and allow a man to take a little weight off your shoulders.

We live in a society that deems hooking up all the time acceptable. We live in a time period where women are so tired of being treated poorly that they scream out "I don't need a man." Today's society needs to change. Men need to grow up, and treat women right, and women need to make men respect them because that's what they deserve.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

friends

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
