It's become a sort of common practice for men to buy their female significant others jewelry, but it's pretty common that some women don't even particularly enjoy jewelry.

There is a lot to be considered when we talk about giving jewelry to someone you care about. There are several factors that can be associated with receiving jewelry from your boyfriend.

Here are 5 reasons women don't want to receive jewelry from a boyfriend.

1. It becomes an obligation to wear.

Whether it be a bracelet, a necklace, or a ring when a boyfriend buys his girlfriend any different variation of jewelry it automatically becomes something that she is expected to wear. This is the same as if your girlfriend were to buy you a pair of socks or a pair of pajamas. She expects to see this on you at some point, but with something as intimate as jewelry it can be expected that she wears it every day.

2. Cost.

Jewelry can seem to cost more or less than the actual amount spent. All around, this has the potential to create a problem. No piece of jewelry is the right amount and that is always going to be a fact. A woman will either brag that you spent too much, sulk that you spent so much, brag that you spent so little, or sulk that you spent so little.

3. It's easy to lose.

Every woman can admit to losing a piece of jewelry at some point in there life. Whether it be as little as a six dollar ring that turned their finger green or as big as a three thousand dollar necklace. It's going to happen eventually and it's a lot better to not have the jewelry at all than to have that heartbreaking discussion after you realize it's gone.

4. It's not comfortable.

It takes a long time to become adjusted to a new piece of jewelry and some people just don't have the patience to adjust. I know for myself, one piece of jewelry that I personally cannot adjust to is necklaces. I wear rings and bracelets all day long, but I simply cannot adjust to necklaces and some women feel the way about other pieces.

5. It could mean something more to her than it does to you.

This can also be vice versa. In the opinion of some people, giving your significant other jewelry is a giant stepping stone in a relationship. This can be taken MUCH more serious than what was originally intended. If you're thinking about getting something for your girlfriend that could be considered as serious as this, talk about it with her and make sure one of you isn't thinking this gift means more or less than it actually does.

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.

Singing is something I do all day, every day. It doesn't matter where I am or who's around. If I feel like singing, I'm going to. It's probably annoying sometimes, but I don't care -- I love to sing! If I'm not singing, I'm probably humming, sometimes without even realizing it. So as someone who loves to sing, these are some of the feelings and thoughts I have probably almost every day.
