Stop Trying To Find Your "Type"

Your type of guy is overrated.

Stop Trying To Find Your "Type"
Mr Wallpaper

In the words of Rae Sremmurd, "I ain't got no type."

Brown eyes, brunette hair, tall... my ideal guy- or so I thought.

People who constantly look for that certain person based on who they think they want are going to miss out on opportunities with other people. We all do it, guilty as charged. But when you constantly hear that one friend talk about how no guys like her, it's probably because her expectations are too high. I'm not much of the Prince Charming, sweep you off your feet, kind of girl, but in reality that rarely happens.

When you picture your ideal person and actually meet that person, 9/10 times they won't meet your expectations. Instead we develop a physical attraction instead of an emotional connection. You wouldn't want to be crying over a tub of ice cream or chugging through beers just to mention you met the perfect person, but it was just a hookup. Yeah, that's a blow to the ego. How many times have you heard your friends say, "he/she is everything I've ever wanted but...." But, nothing. No matter what, that person is always going to be compared to your "type" that you created in your mind.

What I'm saying is, even if a person you meet isn't what you thought you'd be into, give it a shot. You can't help who you fall for and "the one" could be someone you least expect. Whether it be a friendship or a relationship, you can't deny a connection. Opposites attract just as well as anyone else. So if your zodiac is telling you not to date someone because you two aren't "astrologically compatible," (1) you probably shouldn't be dating and (2) it's your life. You have the option to do as you please, but don't skip out on an opportunity. It's time to try something new.

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.
