It'll happen when it happens.

I am at a point in my life where many of my friends are in long-term relationships. Many of those same friends wouldn't mind spending the rest of their lives with their current significant others. I have always been the single friend who gives everyone else advice, and while I'm a little tired of third-wheeling, I don't think I'll be in a relationship anytime soon. Here's why:

1. I am terrified to make the first move.

When I see a cute boy, I pretty much keep my mouth shut... forever. I'm not likely to ask them to even hang out as friends, nonetheless on a date. I will never make the first move... I have zero confidence.

2. Commitment is kind of scary.

Not to sound old-fashioned or generalize, but commitment isn't what it used to be. People are usually never satisfied these days, and it's scary to see something so good go south so quickly.

3. Sometimes I expect too much.

From both myself and others. I get upset when I don't receive the results I expected, too. This would be a factor in a relationship that's hard to work with.

4. My mental health hasn't been great lately.

I cried over not being able to successfully cook ground meat yesterday.

5. Feelings are dumb.

Feelings can really blind you from seeing something for how it truly is.

6. Dating apps will never be my thing.

I'm never gonna be able to message first. I'm never gonna wanna hook up and I'm never gonna be smooth enough to interact with boys on Tinder.

7. I have zero time to relax.

My schedule is jam-packed with schoolwork, regular work, and other commitments. I don't even know when I'd be able to make time for a possible date.

8. I am not a patient person.

I'm working on it, but patience is so not my strong-suit.

9. I don't know how to flirt.

?????Is there a class for this??????

10. I don't go out enough to meet someone.

The parties I do go to are with friends and friends only.

11. I'm incredibly awkward around boys.

Palms sweaty, mom's spaghetti awkward.

12. I'm not actually actively looking for anything.

It'll happen when it happens, right?

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

27 Things 'The Office' Has Taught Us

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.
