5 Reasons To Leave Your Boyfriend

Don't work with a person who refuses to work with you.

I dated my ex-boyfriend for six months now. He displayed five undesirable traits I shouldn't have ignored to begin with, but I did. Here are the five reasons I left him, and why you should leave your boyfriends too if they display the same characteristics.

1. He never listens.

My boyfriend never listened to me when I was having a mental breakdown. Everyone has a problem in their life that gets too big to handle on their own; this is why we need a significant other(or a friend) to help console us. If he doesn't want to be with you when you're crying, he shouldn't be with you to see you smiling.

2. No means no.

It's hard to ignore the sexual aspects of relationships, especially in our society where sex is always trending. However, this doesn't mean you lose your right to your own body. My boyfriend kept touching me in inappropriate places when I wasn't in the mood for it. I thought I owed him sex, because we were dating. Just because you're in a relationship doesn't mean you have to put out.

3. We're not sex friends.

In majority of relationships, sexual conduct is a vital part. It's a special and dear way to connect with your partner and show them how much you love them. However, it shouldn't be the main part of the relationship. My ex-boyfriend would "love me" and sleep. I felt our bodies connect, but not our hearts. I'm your girlfriend, and I want authentic love and attention.

4. It's Impossible to love a person who only loves themselves.

My ex-boyfriend was a narcissist; he only talked about himself. When I tried to share personal stories of childhood pains, he would somehow contort the conversation to his own bullied childhood. A relationship is a two-way street; that means "I listen to you, and you listen to me."

5. It’s not all his fault.

This piece was suppose to reveal all his terrible qualities, and why you should leave your boyfriends too. However, I've come to realize, the break up wasn't all his fault to. He's only human, and of course, he would I have flaws. I hold responsibility to address my problems with him. I did not correctly communicate my feelings with him. I'm sure if I did tell him how I feel, he would've listen and tried to change for the better, because he's a sweet person with the biggest heart. If you communicated your problems to your partner, and he still doesn't listen, then leave him. You're filled with too much valuable love to waste on a person who refuses to change for the betterment of your relationship.

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

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.
