Stop The Fantasy: Social Media Relationships Aren't What They Seem
http://www.blackgirlhealth.com

In today's society, we have created this type of fictional world where everything is supposed to be set in stone. Girls are going around saying #RelationshipGoals and thinking relationships are about taking cute pictures and showing your significant other off to the world. News flash! That’s the complete opposite of what relationship was built upon. Social media is only for you to see what people want to broadcast to the world. No one really shows the real uncut views of being in a relationship and being married. It includes taking that person as themselves and loving them unconditionally. It includes being their backbone when they are feeling discouraged and feel like all hope is gone. Relationships are fun, don’t get me wrong. But, let’s not forget there are ups and downs in anything we really put our all into.

Ladies let’s remember that we must never let a guy disrespect or make us feel any less of a Queen no matter how cute or how much he tells us he loves us. If his actions are not backing him up, then you need to consider letting him go. Make sure you have everything in order within yourself before you bring someone into your life. If you are not ready to add someone else's baggage to your life, then it’s best that you take the time to focus on your life making sure you have everything under control mentally and physically.

You don’t have to wear inappropriate things in order for a guy to like you. Wearing outfits that are revealing is only sending signals that that’s the only thing you have to offer. You want him to have something to wonder about. You don't want to let him see your body before he knows your mindset and views on life. Remember to always put yourself first and never let anyone make you forget your morals and the respect you have for yourself.

Know that relationships are not just rainbows and sunshine, but can also be hurricanes and tornadoes too. Stay patient and everything will fall into place the way God intended.

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.

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.
