Single People Need To Stop Being Salty AF

Just because you do not have a significant other right now does not mean you should rain on everyone else's parade.

Relationships can be complicated in a myriad of ways already.

You have someone besides yourself to think about every day. Not only do you have to deal with issues that may come up between the two of you, such as family and finances, but you also have both of your friend groups to factor in as well. In your friend groups, you may have friends who happen to be still single. Friendship dynamics will likely change when you enter a new relationship. It is an adjustment period for anyone directly associated with you.

If you happen to be single right now and you are not happy about it, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT make people who are in a relationship feel bad for not being single.

That's just a shitty thing to do. If your parent died, would you try to make your friends feel bad just because of both of their parents still being alive? I didn't think so, because that would be a horrible thing to do to anyone.

Unless your friend's significant other is doing something horrible such as cheating on them, there is no need for unsolicited input of advice from you. Let them be happy together. They do not need any of your petty bullshit. Relationships tend to happen when one least expects it.


Instead, take this time to improve yourself for when you do start a new relationship. Try to keep an open mind and not think that a potential relationship is going to end before it even begins. Do not complain about being single all the damn time, because nobody wants to deal with that. Do not talk about your ex or put them on a pedestal. Throw away all of your saltiness already.

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
