Once You Date 'The Good Guy,' You Never Go Back

Chivalry is certainly not dead.

Once you date a good guy, you never go back. Why would you?

Just about every girl has a similar story – until you dated a good guy, you dated boys that didn’t respect you. Boys that didn’t treat you the way you deserved, whether you realized it or not. You thought to yourself, “chivalry is dead.” But someday soon after, you realized you were wrong.

You started to date a good man. And that man makes you feel whole again. Thank the heavens for the good men in this world, the men that treat women not like objects, but like the women they are – mothers, daughters, sisters and friends.

Once you date a good guy, you don’t worry about feeling insecure. Dating a good man will make you feel cherished, whether you are truly in love or not. A good man will respect you and treat you the way he himself would want his own daughter to be treated. I would never go back to a man that treated me less than my own boyfriend does now. Dating a good guy makes you feel as though you are enough.

Once you date a good guy, you never even consider the boy that made you feel less than you are. You never consider the boy that left you on read when all you asked was for affirmation. You never consider the boy that made you cry. You never consider the boy that lied to you, time and time again. You never consider it, because you know there is better out there.

Chivalrous men will always thrive. And if you have yet to find a good guy, let me assure you a good man is out there, and you should never, ever settle for anyone who makes you feel any less than you are.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
