Where Have All The Good Men Gone?

Ladies, has the surplus of available worthy men depleted?

Where Have All The Good Men Gone?

Where have all the good men gone? Is it me or has the level of standards dropped drastically when it comes to eligible suitors? Obviously the days of prince charming riding in on his mighty steed to save the day and rescue the fair maiden are gone with the wind, never to return. Nevertheless, it would be wonderful to see even a fraction of the chivalry, loyalty, and affection of days gone by.

Women will move mountains to stay fit, dress to kill, and look perfectly fabulous at all times. We spend a fair amount of time and attention on finding the right perfume, shoes, hair style, nail polish, and handbags. Then we painstakingly groom ourselves ‘til there’s not a hair left on us aside from atop our lovely head, (which takes forever too!)

Most men, however, are just not as fashion conscious. In fact, they could usually care less. Still, being fashionably dressed is the least of the concerns on the decline. Appearance is important of course, but pales in comparison to attitude and behavior. For example, how many times have you waited idly by while your beloved plays call of duty for hours? Then there are the guys that are playing two girls at the same time and they refer to them as “main” and “side” bitches, with the girls having full knowledge of this. Really??? Ladies, has the surplus of available worthy men depleted to the point that we will allow such ludicrousness? The attitude towards women seems to have dwindled down to a mentality of “yup that’s how it is, deal with it”…… ughhhh, no thanks. That will be the day that I knowingly admit that I’m one of two girls with the same man and worse, feeling good about it because I’m the “main bitch." I mean really, that one guy, charming as he is, is that irreplaceable?

Yes, there are men in the world that take pride in their appearance and put effort into looking good, which is greatly appreciated. However, a lot of them tend to have the “I’m sexy and I know it” syndrome, which is almost worse. Then of course there are the ones that think wearing their pants halfway down their thighs and walking like ducks makes them irresistible. Honey, please, do us all a favor and pull that mess up! Oy vey, what ever happened to classic sophistication??

So, will my knight in shining armor be blazing through battle to defend my honor?......Probably not. Still, is it that much to ask for to have a guy with a little charm and respect? One that can look at me and tell me I’m beautiful because they just can’t help it. One that makes me feel that they want to be by my side, and that I’m someone special. Above all, one that would say that his heart belongs to me and I should never even have to consider him betraying the trust between us. Is that too much too ask?

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
