A Few Guidelines For The Swipe

Here are some suggested rules for your swiping journey to find love, or just the kind of love you need for a night.

1. Group Pictures:

If their first picture is a group picture this is a toss up whether to swipe right or left. It could mean they're really social, and love hanging out with friends. Or, it could mean they're very insecure about people judging them and need the other people in their pic as sort of a buffer (aka not the most attractive person, so they need to camouflage in a group). But really, who has the time for a "Where's Waldo?" search.


2. Crazy eyes:

Everyone knows them. Slight bulge, wild, and something just seems a little off in their gaze. Usually found in moderate-to-highly attractive people. I know most guys swipe 99% to the right, but to avoid these psycho ones definitely take a close look. My boyfriend's most recent ex had a real bad case of the crazy eyes.

3. Puppy/Kitten:

Always, and I mean always, swipe right for that adorable little cutie munchkin. I don't care if this person is the most unattractive person ever, or is a convicted felon, you gotta do it for the little one! Fish are a different story. Going to school in the south for two years provided me with a plethora of fish-holding hooligans.

4. Age:

If they look like they're 50, they probably are. If they look like they're 12....well just double check with them because I'm 20 and get mistaken for 15 ALL THE TIME. "Age is just a number" does not apply on Tinder. If they are more than 5 years older, they're most likely a creep. Make sure you adjust the age in the preferences section.


5. Picture:

If you see a 10/10 swipe right, even throw them a coveted super like, but most people only put their best pics up in their profile, just remember that. In person they could look like someone completely different; I suggest adding them on IG or Snapchat so you can double check their pics!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
