Rules For Dating In High School

Dating in high school can be pretty rough sometimes. Everyone loves to hear about your problems and there's always that one guy or gal that loves to get in the middle of the relationship. I've learned that there's a correct and classy way to go about dating in high school.

1. Cheating is never the way to go.

The worst possible thing you could do is cheat. If you're not happy with the person you're with, then just end things. I promise you that'll it hurt a lot less instead of going behind their back and doing things you know you shouldn't. If you have to hide it from your boyfriend/girlfriend, there's a good chance you shouldn't be doing it.

2. Your business needs to stay YOUR business.

Telling everyone your problems is not a great idea. I've done this before and I can say that it's not what you should do. People love to talk and there's a good chance that a nasty rumor will start. In the end, telling other people your business will only make things worse, not better.

3. Posting depressing statuses isn't very cute either.

If you have to rant to someone, rant to your mom or dad...not social media. Your parents typically have good advice and can help make you feel better about the whole thing. However, if you post your problems on the Internet, you will just attract nosy people, not people who actually care about you.

4. Handle people who love to get in the middle of the relationship.

At some point in every relationship there's going to be someone who try's to get between the two lovebirds. You just have to turn the other cheek and try your hardest to ignore them. Yes, it can be so hard but it's very possible. Usually if you ignore them, they'll give up and go away. So pretending they don't exist is usually your best bet.

5. PDA is not goals.

It's actually pretty annoying. In the hallway between classes is not the time to shove your tongues down each others' throats. You're usually blocking the hallway and grossing everyone out. Stop hanging all over each other. If you really have to be affectionate, holding hands and a peck on the cheek is always a sweet and small gesture.

6. Don't focus so much on the future.

All the talk about forever and getting married can get tiring and it just puts a lot of pressure on the couple. Instead, learn to be happy and have fun together. You're both still young, so enjoy it and live in the present.

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.
