10 Reasons to Stop Settling for That Guy You "Sort of" Like

Shopify

I gotta take my own advice with this one. I'm super done with hearing from my friends/my friends are done with hearing from me about the guys who fuck us over/we continue to go back to/we never liked in the first place we're just lonely or bored.

Here are 10 reasons to stop settling for that guy you "sort of" like and start focusing on yourself!!!!

1. Plenty of fish in the sea

If you're settling because you think he's the only one that will like you... You are mistaken!! Plenty of guys will like you, so stop being with this lame dude and start finding someone you actually like.

2. It's not fair to him

Not only is it not fair to you to settle, but its not fair to him. What if this guy actually really likes you and you're just tagging him along?? Aw stop that, don't play with peoples emotions.

3. Spend time becoming a better you

Before you find a man, do some things for yourself that maybe this guy you like is stopping you from. Go to the gym, a museum, eat some good food. Do ya thing honey.

4. Start being okay with being alone

This is especially hard for some people who always have a boyfriend, but it's time to sit and chill with yourself for awhile. Being alone is fun when you like yourself!!!! (see #3)

5. He's annoying

I know for a fact that men in general are annoying. But if you don't even truly like this guy, then I'm sure some of the shit he does annoys you...a lot.

6. Huge time commitment

Texting, calling, FaceTiming, dates, dinner, partying, etc. all that takes up so much time. Time with somebody you don't even really like. Is it even fun to chill with them at a certain point?

7. You're better than that

In general, don't settle for someone who you don't like that much. If you aren't in it 100% there is absolutely no point. You deserve a person who makes you happy... not question why you're with them!!

8. In the end, it'll probably make you feel worse

Whether you feel bad about leading him on, or that you feel like you could have done better than him the whole time and now you're like ...well fuck? In the end, you're not gonna feel good about it.

9. Once one door closes, another one opens!!

Don't be nervous to break it off!! You'll find someone else, you can fill your time other ways than just being with him!

10. You're more prone to cheat

If you're always looking for someone better than the one you're with, you will be more prone to cheat on the person. See #2 he will get hurt.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

13 Times April Ludgate Perfectly Explained College

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
