4 Reasons Everyone Needs To Stop Telling Me I Need A Checklist To Find A Boyfriend
Allie Martin

Every girl knows "those articles" that tell you what to look for in a boyfriend or tells you that if your relationship doesn't have these random certain aspects it's going to fail. Well I am sick of tired of seeing them. And here's why:

1. Not all relationships are the same.

Some people need different things or express their love in different ways. Some boys want to text you all day and some boys, like mine, open your message and don't respond for three hours simply because they forgot.

2. Girls overthink things enough already.

You are just adding fuel to the already very large fire. When you write all these reasons that a relationship might fail and girls read it, they start having doubt in their partnership and that could be what ends their relationship. They could read something that says because you fight all the time your relationship won't work and they'll remember the one time three weeks ago that they argued with their S/O about where to eat and think their relationship is doomed to fail.

3. Different women need different things.

Don't tell me that if my S/O doesn't agree with everything that I say our relationship is doomed. Some girls might like that in a man but people like me would rather be challenged. The point is that there is nothing wrong with either of these things and no one should be telling you that there is.

4. It honestly worries me.

To see what girls think boys "should" honestly really worry me. Do they really think that boys are perfect? I feel bad for them when they start looking for this perfect man that doesn't exist. Will their own relationships work out or will they be constantly be nitpicking what their S/O is doing? I really do wonder about these things.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
