I Don’t Know What I Want In A Relationship, But I Know I Can't Be With You

I need to stop letting the issues in relationships slide because I want a safety net.

I really do not know what I want out of a relationship right now.

But, I have this issue that happens pretty frequently—I talk to someone for an extended amount of time, and then I can’t get over him.

It literally takes forever. I get so into relationships that when the chapter needs to close I keep it open because I feel invested in the person.

I like someone, and I create this image in my head of him, and he's never really as great as the picture. Then, the relationship becomes toxic because the person I made him out to be isn’t real and probably doesn't exist because we all have our problems and no one is that perfect.

This ends right now.

I’ve wasted so much time on “fall guys,” and if you don’t know what a fall guy is , he’s basically the backup plan or the one that’s there to come back into your life at any time, so when things are going wrong you just blame all the problems on him.

This is so wrong.

I’ve kept fall guys around for longer than anyone should, and it is time to move the heck on.

I tell my friends to move on all the time, but I never take my own advice.

I’m 20-years-old, and I have so much of my life to live — I need to stop letting the issues in relationships slide because I want a safety net.

I’m on my way to being a girl boss and any boy who doesn’t treat me like a #queen needs to be kicked to the curb.

I’m thankful for my BFF that told me the cold hard truth about this whole thing — I’m DEF not perfect and I’m sure this will happen again at some point, but I want to go into the next two years of college with a clear head.

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
