10 Reasons Why I Hate Dating In 2017

I can't stand this generation's idea of dating. There I said it. If my boyfriend and I were like the common 2017 couple.. I'd be ashamed. I think this generation has lost the true meaning of dating and has lost the ability to love. I will admit I have seen successful relationships in my time, however majority of relationships I have seen are far from "love".

1. Social media dictates if your S.O loves you or not.

I will admit I love when my boyfriend posts cute pictures or posts about me on Instagram, but if he doesn't, I know he still loves me. In today's era love is expressed through the black and white words under a selfie.

2. Netflix and Chill is as romantic as it gets.

Alright it is nice to watch Netflix and eat pizza with the one you love, but it is not romantic actually it is commonly known that when a guy or girl says "lets Netflix and chill" they basically are saying "feed me pizza and lets do it".

3. People date for fun.

Call me old-fashioned but dating shouldn't be considered a hobby, it is an interview for marriage. I don't think playing with someone's heart and toying with the emotions of anyone should be considered fun.

4. Cheating is more common than loyalty.

If you are in a serious relationship and you have been cheated on then you know the pain of finding out the person you have invested in has been unfaithful.


5. "Catching Feelings" is a bad thing.

I'm sorry but I will always say the best decision I have made in the 2 years was falling in love with my boyfriend. I could never say "catching feelings" for him was a bad thing.

6. Being exclusive is something to be ashamed of.

I am sorry but any guy or girl who is ashamed of being "tied down" obviously can't see the perks of being exclusive.

7. Boys ask girls out over text messages.

BOYS DONT DO THIS!! Take it from a girl, girls hate this! Grow courage and ask her even if you are scared, don't be coward.

8. There is more importance on sex then there should be.

This really is a big problem because everyone thinks that sex is what makes a relationship real and serious. No not really. Trust, compassion and love is what makes a relationship real.

9. You never know where you stand with a person.

Are we hanging out? Are we official? Do I need to DTR? What does it mean?! Being confused about what the relationship is, messes with the person's mind. It is something I have experienced and it causes a lot of insecurity and uncertainty.

10. Most couples want to hangout at 2am rather than 2pm.

I'm sorry but if I had a S.O that only wanted to hang out at the wee hours of the night, I would think I was a booty call more than a girlfriend.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
