Five Reasons Why Nice Guys Finish Last

Everyone has heard it before, nice guys finish last. Ladies, we want the best of both worlds. We want to be treated with respect, but have our limits pushed. We want to win the boy, but work for it a little. And we want to have the nice guy, but who is a bad ass all at the same time.

The idea that a significant other cares about you and that you can always have someone to depend on makes you feel loved and wanted. The feeling of love is amazing, obviously nice guys who treat you like a princess will offer this to you on a platter. So why do nice guys finish last if they make us feel frican amazing?

1. They are too easy.

Nice guys are the ones who are constantly texting you "hey" and asking you how your test went and wondering how you're doing and blah blah blah... Mystery is sexy, and that is one quality that nice boys do not have.

2. It gets boring.

Don't you ever want to get in a little fight? Nice boys don't, that's for sure! They don't want to make you feel sad, but is there such a thing as too perfect of a relationship?

3. They aren't risky.

Girls love adventures...and risk takers. We want to do something fun and crazy with someone we love. We don't want to go sit down at a restaurant and talk about school or what we had for dinner last night. We want to go to a roller derby tournament or on a spontaneous road trip five states away for absolutely no reason.

4. You want what you can't have...

And nice guys give you everything you want. Why? Because they're nice guys! They are wrapped around our little finger. But, we don't want them easily accessible. We want to wonder why they aren't talking to us, what they are doing, who else they are talking too.

5. We want to be the girl who changes them.

Every jerk has an ex-girlfriend who made them that way. Nice guys clearly have zero to little experience with girlfriends or romances. Why? Because they are nice, therefore someone has never broken their heart. The sad truth: every nice guy ends up getting friend zoned.

College is filled with many things, and we're so often lectured to make the right decisions as we head out on our own into the college life. But sometimes it's necessary to indulge in some guilty pleasures as well as just doing things because you can. And honestly, a lot of the time it's inevitable. College is no piece of cake that's for sure, so it's okay to do some things you deep down know you shouldn't....once in a while anyways.

I just know that the idea of releasing vault tracks came out of the moment Taylor remembered she wrote 'Is It Over Now?'

A Deep Dive Into Taylor Swift’s Albums: 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Edition
Edited by Hailey Hastings

I am fully emersed into diving deep into every single Taylor Swift album, which I do on my own all the time, but wanted to do it in a way where I am sharing what a special discography she has. I feel like 1989 is the perfect place to start, it's an era that changed everything, and will always be an album people automatically think of when you say "Taylor Swift."
