I'm A Girl That Likes 'The Chase' And I’m Not Sorry

Sometimes a man is more interesting when he’s trying to impress you.

If you don’t know what "the chase" is, it’s basically all of the pre-relationship stuff. It’s the back and forth of “does this guy like me or what?” Or it's "do I want this guy to like me?" Or it's "I like this guy, but I can't really deal with all the relationship extraness RN." The chase is the best and I used to ~lowkey~ love every minute of it, but here I am now to confess.

Some people call it "the challenge," but whatever you call it, it's one big game either way.

I like the game and honestly, I’m not afraid to admit it — call it what you want. We’ve all played the game at some point. And, when it comes to college, most people are playing so either play or get played is the way I see the situation.

Most people aren’t trying to be serious because they have GPAs, jobs, friends and finding the perfect internship to worry about. You're trying to make time for friends when you're not studying, working and/or trying to get your life together, so it’s a lot of commitment to make a full-time relationship a thing right now.

I've spent so much time in this back and fourth stage and it used to annoy me when guys didn't know what they wanted but do I? Not really... I know I don't want to deal with anyone who's trying to hurt me, obviously, and I'm not trying to hurt anyone either.

Whether it's a cute dinner, a movie night or a one-night stand — a lot of people settle for the chase. And, that’s where it all stops so you can move on to the next flavor of the week. I'm busy trying to save money and figure out what I want out of life, plus who needs a man at 20, anyway?

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.
