Where Did You Find Your Soulmate?

The truth about online dating.

Where Did You Find Your Soulmate?
Alyssa Newcomb

Meeting people online tends to beat meeting people in person. Most people lean more towards searching for someone special for them through online dating. They do this because of a lack of luck with people who they have met in person; or, perhaps, everyone that they have dated in the past has come with their own set of issues. Online dating has its difficulties as well. Nothing beats actually meeting your soulmate in person. From the dates to the late night movie nights and deep conversations, everything is better when you've met someone face to face.

People you meet online may not actually be who they portray themselves to be. To some, it's better to hide behind a desktop while being thousand of miles away. It's easier and more comfortable to lie and hide things that may interfere with someone else's life. They have a tendency to also cover up their insecurities which can result in someone getting hurt and feeling like they have wasted their time.

Online dating is not all bad; it also has its positivities as well. You may actually find the missing piece to your puzzle — the piece that you have been searching for your whole life. You may end up meeting your other half, your soulmate, by engaging in this online experience. You meet someone who doesn't just hide behind a desktop and who actually develops the same feelings and has the same intentions that you have.

As I conclude this piece, take a moment to think about these statistics: An estimated 40 billion people in the United States participate in online dating. 66 percent of married couples actually met on online dating sites.

Meeting people online can be the best thing that happened in your life, and can also be the worst. For more information on the percentage of dating people online visit :http://www.match.com/magazine/article/4671/.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together.

Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

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.

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. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. 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.
