You know the movie scene. The one where boy and girl are, oh, so randomly assigned lab partners and basically fall in love and live happily ever after.

Well, I don't know about you but I got my lab partner by awkwardly searching the room with my eyes until someone else doing the same thing happened to be looking at me when I was looking at them. So, not romantic in the slightest.

What I'm getting at here is how in the heck are you supposed to find a real-life boyfriend in college? And by real-life I mean not on Tinder, and not while sloppy drunk.

I mean, if we happen to be drunk when we meet that's cool, but sober is probably best.

I walk by boys on campus all day long, and I mean that exactly as I say it. We walk past each other, most likely avoiding eye contact and that's where our interactions end.

There's never any stops for random small talk or boys coming up to me professing their love, and it's starting to get really annoying.

As a junior in college at 20-years-old, I'm starting to become a little worried. Where are these bold, movie-type guys who approach girls out of the blue and become the most amazing aspect of their lives?

I'm starting to understand that they just aren't real, and finding a boyfriend is something I'll have to take into my own hands. UGH.

So, if you have a boyfriend and have any advice for one lonely Tess that'd be great, and for anyone else, I can be easily contacted through comments on this article (please).

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.
