Dating is all about trial and error. We get to know people, who they are and in return, they get to know us. We get close to them. Those feelings either evolve, become mutual, one-sided or not reciprocated on either side. At the end of the day, people meet, they date, and they often risk the chance of breaking up. Often enough, we will often date a string of people before meeting the right person and that is completely okay. And we can all identify the ones that just didn’t make the cut for us.

Here is a list of people that everyone eventually dates before meeting the right one.

The “Nice Guy”

Any guy that has to verbally state that he's a nice guy, is NOT a nice guy. This guy will constantly talk about all the “sluts” he dated in the past that had broken up with him because he was just too nice. You will constantly hear the phrase “Girls don’t want a nice guy. They want a guy that’s going to make them feel bad and they’ll just run back to them no matter what.” And don’t get me started on how much he’s going to talk about how girls shouldn’t wear makeup.

The Non-Commitment Type

This person will refuse to label your relationship, if you can even call it that. Their easy-going nature will make you happy and you’ll feel yourself falling for them…. And then they take someone home from the bar and that fantasy is dead in the water. And you can’t be mad at them because “you never said that we were dating."

The Friend

You have that immediate platonic bond and hey, they're kind of cute. You start hanging out on your own and eventually date for a while. But at the end of the day, you guys are just friends. Nothing more.

The 2-dimensional drawing

They’re pretty! They're the definition of eye candy. Too bad their personality isn’t as appealing as their looks.

The Nicholas Sparks Character

They probably made you a mixtape and stood outside your house throwing pebbles at your window. The best date you’ve ever had will be with this person. But the constant wooing and whirlwind of romance and drama that follows them will become too overwhelming. You’ll eventually end the final chapter of this novel and go back to reality.

(Author's Note: It took me about 20 minutes to decide which GIF to use for this section because every single one fit perfectly.)

The One That’s Not That Interested

This person will seem interested at first. You will text and call constantly, but at some point, they completely disappear. No responses to texts, no phone calls, and their Instagram suddenly becomes private and you no longer have access to their photos. You have officially been ghosted.

The One that’s TOO interested

Think Ted Mosby here. They will most likely talk about having kids on the second date. And ask you to marry them on the third. It will make you go running straight for the hills and away from any dating prospects for months.

The One That Breaks Your Heart

Everyone remembers that one heartbreak. You saw your entire life with this person. They meant the world to you and for some reason, they just decided to end it. there might have been nothing wrong, only that it was time to say goodbye. You eventually move on, but not without some serious healing time.


When they say that there are plenty of fish in the sea, they are not kidding. You will date and meet so many people before meeting the person you will spend the rest of your life with. Every person you’ll meet will bring you new experiences and teach you about yourself and what you want in a relationship. They come with funny stories and great (or not so great) memories that you’ll have to look back on. You just should get to know the person to know if that person is right for you. Take your time and explore what is out there. Date the friend, the Nicholas Sparks Character, but if you meet the “Nice Guy” run! They are not the one for you.

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.

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.
