There is nothing I love more than being able to open any social media platform at any given time and scroll through my feed to see funny memes, what my friends are up to and viral videos. Lately I've been noticing a trend that has been bombarding my news feed. No it's not WorldStar Vine videos or Steve Harvey memes, it's these #RelationshipGoals pictures of couples going on wild adventures and doing things that are too perfect to be realistic. You know what I'm taking about, pictures like these:

Yes these too-good-to-be-true, Nicholas Sparks like snapshots are just few of many Just Girly Things you come across online. It's no doubt that our world has definitely transformed since our grandparents' wedding day. Love letters have become sometimes-racy texts, dating has changed to hooking up, and these occasional dates consists of "Netflix and chill." While some of these trends are super cute, others are just so unrealistic it's pathetic. Don't get me wrong, I'm a romantic at heart, but these goals social media is setting are becoming almost outrageous at this point. What one could think is a perfect relationship could end up driving the other way and banishing the relationship as a whole.

They are overall, unrealistic.

There is no way any girl is comfortable with their boyfriends playing video games off of their butts. Sure there is nothing better than lending a guy your butt as a table for the next couple hours.

In between Netflix and chilling, is there an actual relationship? Do you guys talk to one another or do you just lay there and look cute. These goals display only the physical aspects of relationships instead of the substance at the core.

They make you feel bad about yourself.

Social media has the power of influencing our mind in more ways than we think. When these amazing travel pictures and videos come along, comments like, "ugh, goals," or a girl and guy in small bikinis and ripped abs with "ugh, #bodygoals." Deep down these comments hit more than the want for these adventures. It's like wanting your relationship to be with the guy in the pictures or wanting a relationship like that. Sort of like when you see models strutting down runways with their perfect, photoshopped abs, you know they're unrealistic and you will never look like that, but you still want it.

With that being said, every relationship is unique, consisting of different people. Some factors work for others and some do not. If you want to partake in these trends, go ahead, do you. Just remember, there is more to a relationship. Find someone that makes you laugh, makes you feel confident and supports you. Some of these things we want in a relationship are not always what we need. But if you can get a guy to leave pizza at your doorstep and buy you a ticket to Greece, I applaud you.
