Okay, get off your dating apps for a second and just listen to me. You're not going to find Mr. Right on Tinder or any other dating app out there. I promise you if you do find someone, the odds of you ending up with that person are pretty slim. If it does happen for you, then you're one of the really lucky ones.

Stop worrying about being with someone and just focus on bettering yourself and someone great will come along later. Yes, it'll suck to be alone for a while but if you surround yourself with the right friends then it won't be lonely.

I promise the guys you're getting off the dating apps most likely won't be worth it later. There are other ways to meet your future husband or boyfriend without the internet and that's called meeting them in person. Join some clubs, sports, or even just in class.

Although I may write about how 95% of men aren't looking for anything serious, I never truly talk about the 5%. I firmly believe that there's a strong 5% of men that have good intentions. I've met men that fall into this category, yet I still fall for the ones that fall into the 95% category.

We can't always blame everything on men even though it's easier to do that. As females, we tend to like the "bad boys" when all the bad boys are going to do is break our hearts. We are taught growing up from many movies that a good girl can change a bad boy but I promise you in real life you can't do that.

Stop chasing the bad boys hoping that they'll change their ways for you because for the most part, it doesn't end up the way it does in the movies.

There are guys out there with good intentions, I promise. You just have to stop looking in the wrong places or just looking in general. Just take it slow and when the time is right someone great will appear when you least expect it.

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.

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?
