Tinder And The Real Reason Everyone Is Using It

Let's go over the real reason everyone is using tinder and why it is not okay.

Tinder is a new thing that majority of college students or people in their 20's use but my real question is what do you get out of it?

Swipe left, swipe right.. take a minute to understand that.. this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard

And not to hurt any one's feelings that actually uses tender but it is nothing more than a local hook up app, in whatever town you are in you can find people in that same area as you

The truth hurts but I am here to tell you, our generation complains about the horrible relationships that we have allowed ourselves to get into or the horrible ways we are all treated but then we go and we download apps like Tinder and date or hang out with the guys or girls off of there.

A lot of the times you will hear the college stories about how they went on a trip and immediately got onto tinder to find all of the local "hotties"

Why are we searching for confidence from an app, how many swipe rights you got or how many "superlikes" you have gotten.

Us females have lost our minds downloading this app and letting ourselves be fully available to be hit on in a disrespectful manner or even worse a one night stand and never hearing from them again

We complain about the way men talk to us and the disrespectful direct messages we receive but are so quick to download something like tinder to put our faces and bodies out there to be seen and "swiped right on"

No, I am not saying if you have a Tinder that you are suddenly a bad person because you could be the greatest person walking but that doesn't change your intentions while using this app but we can not continuously complain about our generations dating compared to back in the day when we allow ourselves to be freelanced on sites like Tinder when we all know the intentions of guys and sometimes girls on Tinder is not to just sit down and have a cup of coffee or actually go on a well thought out date..

We are all so much more than a swipe on an app and I do not understand why that is so difficult for us to understand. You deserve the person you can go out with and enjoy life with.

Not someone that is just in the same town as you for the night, there is so many things wrong with that, know what you deserve.

Open your eyes and know your worth because I promise someone will see the beauty that you have inside and out and give you everything deserve but you will not find that in a Tinder site. Respect yourself first so others will respect you also.

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.
