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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
