Tips For Meeting Your Boyfriend’s Parents Without A Hitch

Haley Phelps

1. Pay attention to what you wear.

I am in NO way saying dress i like you would usually, but keep the occasion in mind. That is more important than worrying about how nicely your pants look with your blouse. If it’s a casual night, don’t dress up (unless you want to)!!

2. Keep politics and religion out of the conversations.

An obvious but very important one. Even if you feel like they’d agree, it’s best to save that for when you really know them.

3. Instead, keep conversations fun and lighthearted.

This is your first time to get to know them. It should be fun! Ask about what they do, what they studied, or other simple questions that could even lead to a connection!

4. Give compliments when appropriate.

Chances are, they did a lot of planning to meet you, especially if you’re at their home. Compliment the food served, decor, or other details you notice and it will be much appreciated.

5. Remember they are trying to make a good impression on you too.

They’re probably also super nervous. So relax, be yourself, and have fun! They will like your calm demeanor and likely relax easier when the initial stress has faded.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.

The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
