Finding Love in 2019 is a Difficult Feat

Not trying to sound cliche, but for real where did it all go?

This generation has become so dry lately. We prefer to use texting rather than seeing people face to face. We solve our conflicts by texting about it rather than having a real conversation with each other. Dating apps have become the norm for meeting significant others, scratch that, I mean people to "hang out" with.

We aren't in tact with our emotions, but rather just fake it. We fake things that shouldn't ever be faked. We pretend to feel something when in reality we don't feel a thing.

Where did the love go?

Where did those friday date nights that I constantly hear older generations reminiscing about go? Why can't we go back to that time?

I don't fully understand to this day why "Netflix and Chill" has become the new norm for our generation instead of going to the movies or even just a cheap dinner date.

We've lost the love somewhere along the way. Somewhere we stopped caring about getting to know each other but rather just jump into things that at the end of the day just leave you feeling more lonely than you ever did before.

We need to calm down a bit. This generation needs to realize that this is not how its suppose to be or should be. You're not too busy to date, you just are looking in the wrong places for the wrong thing. You shouldn't be looking for just a good time or even be looking on apps for anything relationship wise.

These things take time. You don't just fall in love with someone after one meet and you don't just into a relationship after a week of knowing someone.

It takes time and patience. Everyone will find the person for them but the way this generation is going, it'll probably take way longer.

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.
