Situations You're Bound to Experience While in a Serious Relationship: As Told By GIFs

Senior year has finally rolled around and let's face it, Baylor might as well be the ring-by-spring capitol of the college world.

Situations You're Bound to Experience While in a Serious Relationship: As Told By GIFs

I'm not sure what's causing it, but love (and engagements) always seem to be in the air. ALWAYS. So if you and your special someone have been dating for 6+ months (or over 2 years like my boyfriend and I), it can be assumed you've run in to a majority of these awkward situations thanks to your peers...

"So...have you looked at rings yet?"

One of your friends openly threatens to end her relationship if there's no ring by spring. 

Friends who are also in serious relationships start up an intense workout routine so they can look good in their engagement pictures...

Girls you barely know "jokingly" ask what they have to do to get invited to your wedding.

Your friend group refers to you and your boyfriend as "Mom" & "Dad".

Your sorority sister gets upset she wasn't the first in the pledge class to get engaged.

Your best friends take it upon themselves to start deciding who your maid of honor should be.

You get asked if you have picked out a style of bridesmaids dresses yet (probably by the same people who decided who your maid of honor will be).

You have been called "Mrs. _____".

Every time you and your significant other do anything remotely romantic in front of friends, they are suddenly "dying of cuteness."

No matter how many times you tell people you can't predict the future and don't know when/how/if there will be an engagement, they always give you that same look...

...and this is the only response you can muster.

Peers tell you they may or may not have a bet going on when the engagement is going to happen.

And let's not forget when any of the above situations happen when your significant other is with you...

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:

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.
