6 Ways To Increase Your Tinder Success Rate And Stop Dogfishing Eligible Matches
Instagram/@tylerjcameron3

What is dogfishing? Dogfishing is VERY similar to catfishing, but it's with dogs. Specifically, it's when a person uses a picture of them and a dog (that isn't even their dog, mind you) as a way to attract the attention of a person of interest.

I mean I love dogs but please... I'm trying to see if YOU are interesting, not the dog. Plus, if it isn't even yours, don't tease me like that! Instead, try the 6 tips below to increase your successful match rate on your dating profile.

1. Include a photo of you doing something adventurous or exploring.

2. Post a picture of your hobbies or other activities you love.

3. Mix in a pic of you with children or a baby because we love to see innate parenting instincts.

4. Delete the pics of you with five other guys or girls, we want to know which one is you.

5. Get rid of the pictures that only show half of your face, please.

6. Finally, I hope I already made this clear, but erase the picture of you with a random dog.

Hopefully, this will make it easier for those of y'all who are in the online dating scene. Swipe left on the dogfishers, and let's hope that the right partners come your way.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
