Why Dating In Todays Society Makes Me Want To Stay Single Forever

If you would have asked my several years ago if I believed in dating and finding a guy that was right for you, I would have totally said the process worked. As of today, though, with modern technology taking over the dating world I would say its un- realistic to think that you are ever going to be able to ever get that traditional pick you up at the door take you to dinner classic romantic type of thing you are hoping for. Most girls these days simply get excited if they get a notification from tinder saying they got another match.

Romance these days seems to go as far as tagging you in memes and creating a snap streak with you. I think it's sad that most guys and girls can't even confidently say what they are to each other. When asked by their friends what they are to each other the farthest most “couples” get is what is established as the talking phase. Which is somewhere between friends and an actual relationship. Meaning you have all the means of being committed to each other without the actual commitment. Which, in today's society, is everyone’s dream come true. Most people only stay in this so called talking phase for about a month or two before moving on to go through the cycle all over again with the next person.

Don’t get me wrong, I know people in the world today do find true love and are as happy as can be. A lot of my friends are getting engaged and some of my friends are even starting new relationships. Although, for us who have not yet found that date that leads us to something’s that works, I hope we never settle for this modern definition of dating. We all deserve more than a Twitter mention to make us feel special. As girls and guys, we all deserve the respect to be shown that we as individuals that we are more than our profile pictures and booty calls and I can only be hopeful that one day we can go back to old fashion dating so that we can all feel special again.

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.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
