10 Signs You're A Hopeless Romantic

Honestly, it is hard to be a hopeless romantic these days because we are rare, and slightly unappreciated.

10 Signs You're A Hopeless Romantic

You'll want to read this if you find yourself always at war with love. If you find yourself agreeing with these traits of being a hopeless romantic, then you just might be one. If you are, that is okay, it's not the end of the world, now you just have a better understanding of yourself on the spectrum of love.

1. You cry at any type of movie.

Let's face it. Seeing a version of you on TV just gets you emotional. You're the type to cry at horror movie because the ghost or killer killed the pet to distract the family. That could've been your cat!

2. You cry watching sad commercials. (Or maybe that's just me..?)

Oh geez. Whenever those animal commercials come on, here come the waterfalls. Animals bring out the sensitive side of you, and once it comes out, it's hard to make go away again.

3. You can relate to every song that talks about love and/or relationships.

Your life is a music video. When you're happy and that one song comes on that talks about the good stuff in a relationship, then your day has been made. The flip side however, when you're down and feeling your sad feelings, and that sad song comes on that pours alcohol into your past wounds, it's all over.

4. You fall for people easily.

Once you start to pursue someone, get to know them, and feel the mutual feelings, it's all over. If you're just beginning to tune into your passion of love, you might find yourself with multiple crushes, but as you grow and understand what you really connect with, your number of crushes will drop significantly to that one person.

5. You're not the type to flirt with multiple people at one time.

When you do understand what you click with, you'll only be focused on that one person. It's not that you want to just focus on that individual, but it's like you cannot physically direct your attention to any else. Love is very satisfying.

6. You're pro long-term relationships.

You don't do one night stands. You don't care for the hookup culture. You just don't find any pleasure in it. You value any and all forms of intimacy, and would rather engage with someone you have some type of established relationship.

7. You're the type of person to write letters to your lover.

Writing letters are one of the corny romantic things you do for your lover. It's okay to value "old-fashioned" ways of expressing your love. It seems more authentic, and they are definitely going to be cherished more than long paragraphs sent at 3 am, but those are cute too.


8. You make your relationships your highest priority.

Sometimes you lose track of your own life. Life in general. This could be your downfall because, you have to keep in mind that other aspects of your life don't revolve around your love life. You just have to prioritize.

9. You fall in love with the little things.

To you, the physical intimacy isn't really the big factor in how you fall for someone. It's those teeny-tiny things that make you happy.

10. You don't have a defined preference.

You have a very vague set of traits that you find appealing in a lover, but nothing is set in stone about your type. You're the type of person who could fall for someone who is the complete opposite of you, or fall for someone who is your other half. No one can say, and neither can you. When you fall, you fall.

After reading this and you feel like you've found a bit of yourself, you're welcome. Honestly, it is hard to be a hopeless romantic these days because we are rare, and slightly unappreciated. Not many people in today's society really value us, however, every pot finds a lid so remember, there is someone in this world who would gladly appreciate you.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.

All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
