The Top 3 Worst Casual Dates You Should Stay FAR Away From

Dates are tricky, there's no denying that. However, some are notoriously worse than others, so here are the worst three that I would stay the fuck away from at all costs.

1. Blind dates

Giphy

Maybe it's just me, but I have NEVER been on a good blind date. As much as I appreciate my friends trying their best to set me up with a "nice guy", the dates always turn out to be more like "50 Shades of Awkward than Love at First Sight", or even Mutual Attraction at First Glance. If you've ever seen "Gilmore Girls", imagine I'm Lorelai and my date is Rune... the only way the night ends is with regret and not the good kind. To anyone thinking of going on a blind date in the near future- don't.

2. JUST a movie

Giphy

Movies seem to be synonymous with "Let's go home together" in the dating world, but nobody ever told me that fun little dating rule, so it took me a while to realize it. If you're reading this and your go-to date idea is a movie then for the love of God please be clear with your intentions. If you want to sleep with someone, just lead with that. If you're like me and are oblivious to that date tactic, do yourself a favor and just ask. I promise it won't be that weird- worst case scenario you don't go out and best-case scenario you get what you want out of the date.

3. The free date... for the other person

Giphy

Have you ever been on a date and felt like you were cheated out of everything? And no, I'm not just talking about the energy that you put into it, but your money and time. There is nothing worse than paying for the whole date, including gas money/an Uber, especially when the whole night was your date's idea. Paying for dinner, a movie/bowling/a show, and then the car that will get you the hell away from such a scam is the WORST. As much as I want people to see the best in each other, you should definitely keep an eye out for that "I left my wallet at home" red flag.

Sure, there are plenty of other bad date ideas, but as long as you can bypass these terrible ones then you're on the right track to a successful (or at least less awkward) first date.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

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

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
