We are bound to come across one or more of these guys in our dating lifetime. Hey, and if these guys are your cup of tea, then go for it. Snag 'em up quick so that the rest of us don't have to deal with it.

1. The Narcissist

He is self-absorbed. He does not give a crap about how his actions may make you feel. He also only wants to talk about himself, his hobbies, his day, and his goals. You'll find yourself being interrupted by them often. Once you finally get a moment to talk about your activities, he finds a way to turn it back to him by telling you how he could have done/ handled that better. He makes you feel small, insecure, and just not good enough. Run.

2. The Bad Boy

Ahhh, the infamous one. The one that you don't take home to mother, and if you do, you'll be hearing about it for the rest of your life. Long haired, tatted, and he might even stunt a hot rod. His idea of fun includes tagging, stealing, and probably the use of an illegal drug. He has definitely spent a night or two in custody. Sure, he seems like fun at first sight. You feel like a sweet Sandra Dee whose wild side has just emerged from hibernation. It's exciting! Calm down, put an actual shirt on, and put down the spray paint.

3. The One With Commitment Issue

This is the guy that you dated for three years already. Many times he has knelt down to tie his shoe or pick up a penny on heads. While you're squealing and jumping, he's looking confused just fixing his sock. On a more serious note, the only real reason to date is to find your forever S.O. Therefore if your guy is deep into this relationship but downright refuses to talk about a future with you, then you two need to have words. You need to DTR ASAP. He needs to stop wasting your time and let you know where you stand. Maybe he's not a person who ever wants to be married but still plans to stick with you; you still need to know this so your aren't sitting there anticipating a proposal.


4. The Football Player

He is still living off of his glory days from high school. He wore his letterman jacket to the five-year reunion, and there is a weekly reminder of his game-changing pic six. It's probably the last noteworthy accomplishment that he has. Because he was top of the food chain in high school, he has some entitlement issues. His teachers let him get off without doing assignments simply because he had to stay focused on the game. Here in the real world we've taken away his silver spoon and replaced it with a rusty tool.

Now, get to work and earn something.

5. The One With No Passion

Where's he at on weekdays? Home. Where's he at on weekends? Home. Who does his laundry? Mom. What is he doing with his life? Nothing.This is the guy who is working at that minimum wage job, while not trying to better himself. Fine, if his life dream is to flip burgers the rest of his life, then good for him, but the rest of us have bigger things to accomplish here. Everyone should have something that they're passionate about. Does he like music? Does he like sports? Does he draw? Does he want to save the planet? Does he want to be a millionaire? Does he want to be a Mr. Mom? He needs to have a passion for something, anything.

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.
