The Upside To Loving Someone Who Is Your Complete Opposite

Opposites do attract.

The Upside To Loving Someone Who Is Your Complete Opposite

If you're dating someone who you wouldn't really consider to be your twin, but more like your opposite, you just might relate to these few points. Opposites really do attract sometimes, and it's definitely a journey being in a relationship with your complete opposite.

1. You learn new things constantly

Dating someone who says, acts, eats, and pretty much does everything you don't really can have its perks. You're both constantly introducing each other to new things and learning so much about each other in the process.

2. You challenge each other

Since they're so different from you, it's often hard to understand how they're feeling or what they think which can be frustrating at times but ultimately it strengthens your relationship. If you really take the time to understand the person you're with, you'll both grow together and begin to understand how the other one functions.

3. You argue a lot, but you grow from each disagreement

There will be arguments--lots of arguments, big and small, but you'll get through them if you really do love each other. Every argument is an opportunity to grow, learn, and understand both you and your partner. Are you sensing a theme, here?

4. You're constantly introducing each other to new things

Since you're so different, each of you has your own set of interests, experiences, and hobbies, but once you come together you begin to share those with each other which helps expose you to new and exciting things. It is always better to share new things with your significant other rather than just assuming they want nothing to do with your interests--you never know if something you love could be something you two can share together.

5. They keep you on your toes

You never really know what the other is thinking or how they'll react to something (unless of course you know them well enough at this point) so they really keep you guessing. Between impromptu road trips, dates at new restaurants, or even just learning something you never knew about them, your partner always keeps you guessing.

6. Your families are different

You grew up differently, and that can be both a blessing and a curse. You won't quite understand how each others families are, how they react to certain things, or what they believe in, etc. but over time you'll learn more about them. It's scary at first, like you're walking on eggshells, but the experience is well worth it and you'll have some new wonderful family members.

Dating your opposite can be challenging at times...or, most of the time, but it's worth it. Opposite couples, in my eyes, are some of the most beautiful couples because the amount of growing and learning they do really helps them both to become better people. The next time you get in an argument with your partner, take a breather and just try to remember all of the positives that come out of your relationship, and how much you love your person despite how different you two may be. You grow, you learn, you love, and you experience so much while being in a relationship with your opposite -- it really is all worth it.

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.
