Mr. Darcy, Where Are You?

Does That Special Someone Exist For Everyone? Or Are We Meant To Be Alone?

Ok, truth. I don’t want Mr. Darcy honestly if you really think about it he was sort of an a**hole. (But not the point) Mr. Darcy is distinguished, loyal and a classic gentleman full of passion and a naturally good person.

Side note: If you don’t know who this guy is, check out this book "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. Or watch the movies if you’re still clueless; try Bridget Jones.

Another side note: If you keep up with my articles, then you will know I’m kinda dating someone (but it’s complicated and it’s a long story. So don't judge).

Finding a decent guy who doesn’t want to get into my panties is hard. I mean, sure I want you to get into my panties, but can you back up? I mean, can I get to know you first? I guess you can say I’m an old fashion kind of girl. Like when I say date, I don’t mean meet one day, have sex the next. That may work for some, but not this girl! I want to talk to you without being freaking touched. Please don’t ask me about my type of men, or what turns me on. Can we use our mouths instead of texting? Take me on a date, and when I say date, I want to get to know you first. Let’s take it slow, there’s no rush, let's enjoy the simple luxuries of dating.

So, I guess you can say my dating experience hasn’t gone so well. I’ve tried dating online, which was scary, and I thought I was going to be sold into sex trafficking or the black market. It was actually a pretty normal date. I went out on a date with a few guys that I met through a friend and that was just a big NO. I’ve learned my lesson: no dates with people my friends know. Then there are the dates with men who would come into my workplace. Let’s just say I should know better - working at the library, a lot of weirdos come in there (like for real).

Men and Me

I’m awkward when it comes to the opposite sex. Men are hard (ha ha, see what I just did there).

My flirting skills aren’t that great either; I tend to just stare from afar, and low-key stalk (just kidding...but really).

When I learn their names, I Facebook stalk them. Don’t act like you don’t do it. It's like a crazy, sadistic version of myself comes out.

Here’s the thing: when I first meet a guy, within that few seconds, I see our lives. I imagine us frolicking in the sand together, laughing about nothing in particular, sparkles and sunshine and kisses and rainbows - and then I’m hit with a dose of reality.

My Type of Guy

I'm looking for someone who's not in a rush, but can take it slow and enjoy it for what it is. Someone who wants to travel the world like I do. I would like for that special someone to love books as much as I do. I like honesty, a sense of humor (can take a joke, even the dirty ones I say), someone who is confident with himself; distinguished, loyal, and a classic gentleman.

As for looks, I’m up for anything (picture of Michael Ealy, Hugh Dancy, Max Riemelt, Mads Mikkelsen, Harry Shum Jr., or Daniel Dae Kim).

So basically, I go for a global set of people: black, white, Asian, German, blonds, brunettes, curly hair, dark eyes, light eyes, just a bunch of yumminess.

I know I can’t have those men, and I may go with a guy who’s completely opposite of the looks and what I want in men. I may never get my Mr. Darcy, he may not even be the type of guy that’s meant for me.

But who knows. I know he’s out there.

Oh god, what if I’m meant to be alone…

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
