10 Sure Ways To Know If You're Addicted To Online Dating

Online dating is becoming more and more popular -- with every age group. So as we all walk around with our heads buried in our smartphones, keep yourself in check. Here are 10 ways you know you're addicted to your online dating apps.

1. For starters, if you have more than one online dating app on your phone.

If this is you, please, please, PLEASE, just stick to one. Really. It just gets all too confusing. Loyalty, anyone?

2. Furthermore, if you have more than one online dating app on your phone AND you're matching with THE SAME PEOPLE ON ALL OF THEM...

Then it's a sign that you're just trying way too hard, and you're giving that really creepy old guy more than one opportunity to stalk your profile photos.

3. If you have a ringtone set for the notifications of said dating apps...

So you'll know the difference between a new message from a cutie and your mom texting you to remind you to pay your speeding ticket.

4. If your profile photo is one that you've edited and/or filtered the sh*t out of.

It's not really you... and he's not going to recognize you when he meets you for coffee... and that's just embarrassing.

5. If you've found yourself becoming too picky... or not picky enough, for that matter.

Are you even yourself anymore?

6. If you're frequently checking with your roommate to see if "they've matched with so-and-so, too?"

Uninstall it right now. And tell your roommate to do the same.

7. If he's Snapchatting you AND YOUR ROOMMATE AT THE SAME TIME.

Um, goodbye. Unmatch that fella right now, and run very far away. You've become so addicted, you don't even care that you've gone full circle. Quit it.

8. If the past three relationships you've been in have started from an online dating website or app,

you need to get out more. There are actual real people waiting to take you on a date. Get your head out of your hind quarters.

9. If your Saturdays consist of swiping left or right based on instant attraction to a more than likely filtered photo of a person that doesn't even live in your state...

You've gone off the deep end, my friend. You're going to need an intervention.

10. If you don't want to go out on a date unless you can get the run-down of the guy's likes and dislikes, at least four photos, and the approximate mileage he is away from you...

I don't really have any advice for you. You're an addict. And the first step is admitting you have a problem.

That's it for now, folks.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
