Things I Refuse To Apologize For In A Relationship

As far back as I can remember I have been referred to as a princess, and have also been treated like one by my whole family. Most people would say this is a bad thing and that now I must be a spoiled brat and a terrible person. But that is far from the truth. I am a hardworking, dedicated young woman. But I am a princess in the way that I expect guys I’m dating to treat me well. My dad especially contributed to this, but everyone else in my family encouraged it. My dad was the first man in my life and has taught me how I deserve to be treated. And I expect guys to treat me this way.

Somewhere along the line girls started making up excuses for why guys treat them poorly. And now after years of this happening guys think that they can treat girls like crap. But I refuse to accept this. When did it become a norm to let guys walk all over girls? I've been told by plenty of guys that if I ever want to find someone, I need to lower my standards. But I refuse to. And I refuse to let guys not treat me well. These are the things I refuse to apologize for:

I refuse to apologize because I expect a guy to respond to my calls and texts in a timely manner.

I refuse to apologize because I expect a guy who listens when I say no.

I refuse to apologize because I expect a guy to make time for me.

I refuse apologize because I expect a guy to be willing to help me with things.

I refuse to apologize because I want to be treated well.

I refuse to apologize because I expect a guy to respect me.

I refuse to apologize because I want a guy who holds the door for me.

I refuse to apologize because I want a guy who wants to meet my family.

I refuse to apologize because I want a guy who wants to spend time with me in the daylight.

I refuse to apologize because I want a guy who is also respectful to my friends.

The list goes on from here but to me these are the most important ones. And no I am not going to apologize because of these things, and warn any guy how much of a challenge I am. If you can’t do these things then you don’t deserve any girl. Not just me.

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. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. 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.
