Millenials And Our Relationships

We need to make falling in love beautiful again.

We are a generation known as the millennial's. There has been the good and the bad that our generation receives. Many people say we don't really know hard work, but they say we are all social media savy. So with the good comes the bad as well. But one thing that I think we need to change is how we look at relationships. There are quite a few points I will make so stick with me!

I will be the first to say that I have been single for a long time and I really learned how to be independent and learn how to be alone. Which I believe is extremely important for yourself and for future relationships. But for many of us we hop from one guy to the next. We use them like lily pads, leaping from one hopeful to another. Alone time is one of the most important assets I think we can have. But we don't want to understand what alone time is. We want to always have someone. I get it, I really do. Its hard to be alone and to sit with yourself, but instead of a guy try spending time with a friend you are able to talk with. Learn your way around being alone, so you can fully embrace and enjoy a relationship.

The next thing that I have noticed is that no one works hard. Well, that is when it comes to a relationship. When it comes to our careers we put full focus in, but I think that when it comes to relationships we can tend to put them on the back burners. If you want to know what hard work is you have to factor in time management as well, because you will be able to maintain a successful career and a happy and healthy relationship.

Another thing is that when the going gets tough we all get going. This goes hand in hand with hard work. You get in one fight and suddenly we all throw in the towel. STOP. That is absurd, why are you quitting after one fight or one argument? Fighting is what can make a relationship stronger. But for some reason all we want to do is throw in the towel the second things get a little bit hard. Learn to stick it out and learn about the importance of communication because it can make or break any relationship.

We are also deemed as the "hook up" generation. Which I honestly hope changes at some point. When you hook up with someone you let them into your whole self and there is nothing to hide. But it can also lead to being hurt. Sure it can lead to a relationship, but it still leaves you at risk for being hurt.

We have many good and bad things about our generation. I say we should make our relationships a big and important thing in our lives. Get off Tinder, Bumble and Match.com and look up and you never know what you will find. Could be your soulmate looking right at you all along.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
