15 Reasons Why Modern Dating Sucks

I read somewhere recently that Modern Dating should actually be called the "hook-up game", and that made me realize more than ever that Modern Dating sucks. Why can't we go back to the old fashioned dating ways, and do things the right way instead of just "talking" to someone just to hook up with them. Please enjoy these real life struggles of Modern Dating.

1. You do not spend enough time getting to know each other before jumping into a relationship.

It can be considered the "cool thing" to do.

2. The person who cares less has every last drop of the power.

I mean who really wants to be the one more interested. But seriously. What ever happened to two people caring deeply for each other.

3. Phone calls?

What. Are. Those. Who even makes phone calls anymore. Honestly, I would prefer a phone call over a text, but I guess that is just me.

4. "Let's chill" or "Wanna hang out?"

AKA - "Let's hook up." Literally, ew.

5. People are scared of commitment.

Which means they'll stay in a relationship without labels until it all comes crashing down.

6. Social media makes it more tempting and easier to cheat.

Nothing more needs to be said on this.

7. No text back?

That text definitely went through.

8. Plenty of people will not care very much about your relationship.

They will go after you significant other regardless.

10. Being dumped is awful.

They'll probably take the easy was out and dump you by sending you a text message.

11. Your creep level is definitely associated with how attractive you are.

It is the sad, sad truth that is in Modern Dating.

12. You are either going to break up or stay together forever.

Okay, this one can really go with any kind of dating but it can still suck either way.

13. Telling people how you really feel is too difficult.

Usually people will just send you a song or quote that kind of expresses how they may or may not feel about you.

12. F. O. M. O.

The fear of missing out. That is all.

13. Immediately responding to a text is considered a sin.

You have to wait at least twice as long as they did anymore.

14. We have ridiculously high expectations of what a relationship is supposed to be like because of social media.

Because who does not want the typical Tumblr-esque relationship.

15. People are not as moral as they used to be.

It really stinks, but that is how our culture is.

1. Nails done hair done everything did / Oh you fancy huh

You're pretty much feeling yourself. New haircut, clothes, shoes, everything. New year, new you, right? You're ready for this semester to kick off.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
