6 Signs You Might Be Considered Old-Fashioned

Disclaimer: I do not mean "old-fashioned" as in a flower crown paired with a crocheted top, which in some sick twisted way convinces young people that they stepped straight out of 1972 instead of Forever 21. No, I am referring to the kind of old-fashioned behavior I avidly partake in, and why it makes me feel as if I don't belong in generation Y. You might agree with me if...

1. You don’t understand the idea of “talking”… you know, the whole "I like you, but I don’t want to date you.

I am definitely interested in the thought of possibly being with you one day. But, today is not that day, so, for now we will continue to do relationship things, but not actually be in a relationship" thing.

2. You respect authority.

Yes, I know all of you “respect is earned, not given” people are ready to close out of this article, but just know that for some of us, the mere thought of calling our friend’s parents by their first names makes us cringe -- "Mr. and Mrs." always -- no matter how cool they are.

3. You prefer face to face contact as opposed to texting.

Don’t get me wrong, I love a good “100” emoji to emphasize my message just as much as the next person, but there are not enough heart eyes in the world that could even compare to actual human eye contact and being in the presence of another.

4. You don’t understand “hooking up” with strangers.

Your friends think you are a prude or weird, but you physically cannot comprehend this phenomenon -- like, wait, what do you mean you don’t even know his or her name?

5. You care about people and things.

Our generation is (unfortunately) obsessed with this "IDGAF" game, a game in which you consistently lose. In fact, you might even forfeit because you don't know how to care.

6. You understand that the most important things in life aren’t things.

Okay, yes, I would love to rock a pair of turtle gray Yeezy Boost 350s, but I know that forming meaningful relationships with my loved ones and being a good person are far more valuable than any material item.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
