Fortnite is Dangerous for Couples, so We Need to Come to a Compromise

It's the battle royale between couples.

Yes, it's a known fact that girls can be crazy at times, but we should also acknowledge the fact so can boys. We can get crazy by the smallest and biggest things, but one small issue in particular that keeps arising is the divide between couple when their boyfriend is playing Fortnite. This one word can instantly change the mood between a couple. I'll admit us girls are needy and when we aren't getting enough attention cause you're playing a dumb video game breaking down wood and stone and shooting people we might get mad at times... okay maybe a lot of the time. There are times where we probably overreact when you're playing your game, but sometimes our ragging hormones can't help it.

Like I said though, we're not the only ones who can get crazy in the relationship. Guys, it's okay to admit it, we're all human. Guys get mad at us for picking out the chick flick on movie night, or taking forever to get tour nails and toes done because he is being a little needy that day.

I hadn't seen my boyfriend in two and half months and I was only visiting him for five days before we had to wait another two and a half months. His ass thinks that it's okay for him to play Fortnite while I watch instead of us spending quality time together with the time we had he's got another thing coming his way! Wow, was my blood boiling. He will take an hour or longer to reply when I am trying to have a conversation with him is also pretty frustrating at times. That is just not okay! This will sometimes start and argument that will only last for about five minutes.

So, lets compromise. I will try and pick movies that I know we both will like and get my nails done on days that you are busy and don't need a lot of attention. You can play your game or 500 of Fortnite, but when I come to visit you or come to your house to hang out pay attention to me. When we're not together and you're playing, try texting me back faster so we can have a real conversation, learn how to multi-task. We also wouldn't mind learning how to play either, it's good bonding. I love our relationship and don't want a petty argument over a game to come in between it.

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.
