Biggest Turn Offs

What not to do while trying to impress someone

Biggest Turn Offs

As a young woman in college, I feel this is important to get out in the open. It's not that women are picky people (but we actually are) but some dudes just have to stop doin what they're doin sometimes. I have liked a few guys and just in one moment everything changed because of something they did/ the way they acted. Here are some of those things:

1. Bad Breath

If you constantly have bad breath, chances are I will stop talking to you. I'm serious. Brush your teeth, but mostly, brush your tongue too.

2. People who talk/post about other girls to get you jealous

He can't tell if you're into him or not so he tries to test you out by talking about other girls. At that point, shake it off and just tell him you don't like him like that already.

3. People who boast about their money

Unless you're a gold-digger, I cannot see how this is a turn-on. Cool, you make a lot of money, got something else you'd like to share with me? Like how you're still shallow while you're swimming in all that money?

4. People who get insecure around you

Having a confident person and a shy person is one weird combination. I guess this depends the level of each, but if either side are both extremes, things can get weird very quickly.

5. Laziness

Make the plans, get out of bed, make an effort, do something. Show me you're working on yourself as a person, making yourself better every day. Laziness is nothing another person wants to be involved with, unless they're lazy too, and I'm sure there are couples out there that are.

6. Rowdy Drinkers

If you're the type that comes back from a night of drinking with any sort of blood on you, you're not the type for most people. Rowdy drinkers are attention-seekers and nobody likes an attention-seeker.

7. Bad texter...or too much of a good texter

I get it if someone is clingy that they may get annoying, but if they're annoying, just drop them! If the conversation is hours apart per text, there is something wrong and you have too much patience for that person. Text someone who wants to text you first and often. And if you're a person that excessively texts someone, you're pretty annoying too. There is definitely a happy medium between the two...find it.

8. Mansplaining

Don't talk down on girls. It's disrespectful and degrading.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
