10 Things You Should Know Before Dating A Gear Head
Ulises Olvera

Are you crushing on a car guy? Do you date a passionate gear head? Can you hear a revving engine in the background right now? Like me, you might be slightly annoyed but you love him anyway. Here are 10 things you already know or need to know about your car guy from a girlfriend's perspective.

1. He will spend more time washing his car than you will in front of the mirror in the morning.

Why? No idea. He washed his car yesterday.

2. You'll constantly hear him talk about random car stuff that you have absolutely no interest in.

You'll constantly think, "How much longer can you talk about spark plugs? Please don't start on tires, I can't take it."

3. He'll park far away from any other car in the parking lot, just so he can protect his "baby".

If he calls his car "baby" one more time, you might throw up.

4. Did you know cars had names?

Not Mazda, Ford or Subaru but... Miley, Scoob and Misty.

5. "Woman Crush Wednesdays" become "Car Crush Wednesdays".

Seriously, yes, it does get old.

6. Saturday night car photo shoots are a thing.

Once in a while he might allow his other "baby" to be in the picture too. *eye roll*

7. Every time the delivery guy comes to the house, they get giddy.

Which car part came this week?

8. They are always watching, sharing, and liking car videos.

No need to stalk his page, your only competition is that all black, bugeye, Evo.

9. He will talk cars with anyone.

He can't help it, it's like word vomit.

10. Buying a car is the most drawn out affair you will ever witness.

It's so annoying. Just pick a shiny one and leave.


If all this stuff wasn't so darn cute, you'd be single.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
