To What Extent Does The Double Standard On Cheating End?
Huffington Post

It is always an argument about girl's that can't do the stuff guy's can. And why not? I can never get an answer except girls aren't allowed to. Who said? The male species. Interesting. But to what extent does it come to an end? Heres a start.

1. Cheating.

What is considered cheating? And should girls be able cheat to get even with their boyfriends? Or do you think cheating is something to be overlooked and stay in the relationship? What makes you feel your partner is being sneaky?

Girl view: When you are dating someone, you get the nagging feeling that something is not right. Especially when the guy is acting in a way that makes you suspicious. For example, a guy acts distant towards you. You can have a conversation with him , and he seems a lil' distracted and tends to look at his phone a lot.

Another thing is thinking about someone else during sex with your significant other is a step towards cheating. A guy being too friendly with another girl. Or a guy barely responding back to your phone calls and text messages. Or a guy doesn't care when another guy is flirting with you right in front of him. Basically a guy who is not putting effort to keep you makes you suspect something.

Cheating the first time is a mistake. Second time is a choice. And I would never take somebody back if they cheated on me. A girl who cheat to get even is immature. What does that person gain from making the situation worse. That adding more drama to your life and risking your health.You don't want to be the girl who gets HIV from that movie "Temptation: Confessions of a Marriage Counselor" by Tyler perry. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Guy view: I think a girl is cheating when you see less of them. Or when the girl doesn't want to have sex or isn't affectionate as she was in the beginning. Also, it is cheating when a girl gives her number to another guy. Depending on the situation, though.

Another thing is a girl taking rides with her co-worker who is male even though she has a boyfriend. I barely know a guy that will go the extra mile for a girl who is not even his. Unless he wants something in return and it tends to be the case.

A girl who cheats to get even is not being the bigger person in the situation. When you hurt each other, nobody wins. The girl shouldn't worry about revenge at all. If a girl cheated on me it would really depend on how long I been dating her or who she cheated on me with (someone that is close to me?). But I would continue to date the girl even if I don't trust her.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
