If These 5 Dating Apps Were Your Ex-Boyfriends

Dating apps can be like a relationship within itself.

If you are perpetually single like me, you are bound to have tried a dating app or two in your lifetime. For me, my relationship with dating apps has always been a hit or miss, with mostly misses. I always seem to find my Mr. Wrong instead of Mr. Right nearly 75% of the time. Don't get me wrong, dating apps do have their perks too. You have the opportunity to get a feel for who a person really is before deciding on whether or not you want to go on that first date.

Dating apps can be like a relationship within itself. They can have their ups and downs, their good moments and bad, and don't get me started on the weird moments either. Dating apps are like your boyfriends.

1. Tinder

Tinder is kind of like that guy you met at the bar that is super good-looking, but there doesn't seem to be anything else there. It is all about the physical attraction. It's fun for about a week or so, but it doesn't seem to last that long. Tinder has a lot of promise, but none of the commitment, which can be a real problem in a relationship.

2. Bumble

Bumble is that shy guy that made you feel like you were doing all the work. They are all about female empowerment and love the fact that you are independent and assertive. However, you always find yourself being the one that has to plan all the dates, start up all the conversations, and still have made all the decisions. They are passive, indecisive, and shy people. Not the best person to bring as a wedding date.

3. OkCupid

OkCupid is that persistent guy that you gave a chance because he kept pursuing you relentlessly. They are the complete opposite of Tinder, which can be a good and bad thing. They are looking for commitment right off the bat. They are known for giving you unwanted attention and trying too hard. They spend a lot more time coming up with witty pickup lines than actually getting to know you.

4. Match.com

Match.com is the guy that you have so much in common with, but the spark just isn't there. It's more of a friendship than a relationship. You are so like-minded that you agree with everything without any argument. There is no challenge in the relationship. Conflict is healthy in a relationship as well as differences. If you're too similar, then it won't work out. There is no individuality and you will eventually get tired of the same-old-same-old.

5. eHarmony

eHarmony is just your normal, average guy... who lives on the other side of the country. This app is a classic long-distance relationship. It starts off amazing, an instant connection. But then you realize exactly how much the distance is a problem. It's great in theory until it gets serious and they propose to you over the phone. (No? Just me? OK.)

As simple and incredibly useful dating apps are, they seem to create more problems than solutions. Just like actual people, each one has its flaws and imperfections, but they do have their moments. You can meet great people on these apps, but not before you meet a lot of people that you aren't compatible with.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
