Dating in 2019 is much more different than dating before. These days, people don't even date based on love. Some people do not even know what love is. Others have never even had the experience of dating someone. Whatever the case may be, it is possible for you to find love. There is someone out there for everyone.

Make sure you actually get to know someone before you date them. That is the problem these days. People jump into relationships way too quickly and then wonder where it goes wrong. This is how it goes these days. You meet someone and find them attractive. You begin to think you like them. You start stalking to them for a while. A couple of days, weeks, months even. Neither of you ever really pops the question of, "will you be my boyfriend/girlfriend?". Then one of you loses interest and you just disappear.

Dating someone can actually be such a beautiful experience, if you really want it. I don't know about you guys, but when I want to date someone, it is because I believe that something is there. I want a serious relationship, not just a fling or some casual hook-ups.

So if you're really thinking about dating someone, ask yourself these questions:

1. Do you really like them?

Sometimes, you probably do not even like someone. You just believe you do, maybe because people tell you that you look great together. Take a moment and really think about your feelings.

2. Do you see a future with them?

Do you want a serious relationship? Or do you want to waste your time?

3. Do you believe in them?

Do you trust that person to really be faithful and not break your heart? Discussions are normal in a relationship, but cheating is not!

4. What were their past relationships like?

Yes I know, you shouldn't judge someone based on their past, but some people DO NOT change. Better to save yourself the heartbreak. I am not saying judge them, I am saying, talk about it.

5. What are their favorite Netflix shows?

You can't be dating someone with bad taste in shows. RED FLAG NUMBER 1.

6. What are their goals/dreams?

Look, you should be with someone who wants the best for you. Someone who motivates you to be the best you that you can be. Someone who is looking to improve themselves just as you are.

7. Do they have an android or an iPhone?

You gotta make sure they pray for the right team? We ain't doing this in 2019 y'all!



So basically, really think about it before you show them off to your friends/family. Because once you go down that road, they will ask about them for the rest of eternity!

Happy Dating!

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.
