'What Happens In Vegas, Stays In Vegas' Doesn't Excuse Cheating On Your Partner

Las Vegas' motto may be "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas," but I would like you to remember this is simply a marketing strategy. Cheating on your significant other in Vegas is not fair to you or your partner. If you're finding yourself cheating every time you travel, why are you even in a relationship?

Monogamy still applies in Vegas. If you get married in Vegas, your marriage is valid in the entire United States. If you have sex in Vegas and get an STI, that STI comes back from Vegas with you!

So, if you cheat on your partner in Vegas and pretend like it doesn't count, you are a trash person. Absolute dumpster fire. Cheating is absolutely unacceptable and allowing your partner to think that you were faithful when you were traveling WHEN YOU WERE NOT is garbage behavior. Cheating causes trust and intimacy issues that can be difficult to resolve, especially depending on how much time passes between the affair and the partner finding out about the affair.

Of course, Las Vegas is the obvious example here. But, this applies to anyone who travels and cheats. Don't be that person! Be loyal to your partner or break the f*ck up with them! Own up to what YOU really want. Nobody is forcing you to be in a relationship, so make sure you're actually happy with who you're dating. If your first instinct when you go to Vegas is to seek out someone else, you might be happier single.

My point here is to be respectful and loyal to your partner, even when you're traveling. If you find that too difficult, then you're with the wrong person! Relationships are supposed to be an enjoyable part of life, so why not date someone you're happy to be with?

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
