Why I Love Having An Unplugged Fiancé
Meagan's iPhone

Most people in their late teens and early twenties are lovers of all things social media. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat are for sure at the top. I, myself, am one of those lovers. I find myself posting pictures of important events, posting statuses' about what my day was like, and sending pictures to people in my contacts that probably do not care that I had Taco Bell for lunch.

My fiancé, however, is the complete opposite.

Austin does not use Facebook for anything other than to see what his mom or I tagged him in, he uses Twitter to keep up on video game and Pokemon Go updates, and he uses Snapchat to send me pictures of what our fur baby, Malcolm, is up to while I'm gone. I'm not sure he even knows how to work Instagram, honestly. But, I absolutely love it. Here's why.

1. He doesn't have to check his Facebook while we're out to dinner or on a date. He actually looks at me and talks to me.

2. We don't have an unhealthy relationship that consists of jealousy and envy. He doesn't like other girls' pictures, he's not sliding into another girl's DM's, and he doesn't pay attention to what other people say.

3. People don't always know what we're doing or if we've had an argument.

4. Instead of him posting on my Facebook or adding a photo on Instagram about how much he loves me, he tells me before I leave for classes that day. He actually looks at me and tells me. I know, scary right?

5. I post the pictures and statuses because I know my family that I don't talk to much likes to keep up with us, and I always tag him in the post, so he doesn't have to make his own.

6. He doesn't have to show me off to the world using social media. He shows me off when we go to Wal Mart and he holds my hand, when we go to the movies and he puts his arm around me, and when we go out for dinner and he actually talks to me.

I love our relationship. There are no secrets, no worrying, and definitely no drama due to social media.

We are pretty solid.

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.
