In a world of Peter Kavinskys and Noah Calhouns, what are we so drawn to about their movie romances that we actually want in our own lives? Are we all really so caught up in the glitz-glam of an Instagram style relationship or are we seeking something much more simple since our world is constantly complex?

I asked 15 girls what they're truly looking for in a relationship... and you can decide the answer for yourself.

1. "Someone who can handle being second best to my dog" - 22

2. "As long as he has a long sleeved shirt for me to wear and a nice arm to lie in, I am good. A love for Jesus is also welcomed." - 20

3. "I'm tired of guys trying to be too cute, honestly. I want someone who can take a joke. I want to make fun of him and I want him to make fun of me, you know?" - 21

4. "I want a guy who isn't afraid to be real. Nobody wants to date a chameleon only to find out who they were all along." - 21

5. "Someone who is family-oriented, loves Jesus and is somewhat emotionally intelligent." - 22

6. "I'm looking for a guy to be honest, even when the truth hurts. I don't want someone to beat around the bush to spare my feelings. I want someone who is open to communication and will be there for me." - 20

7. "Lots of hugs." - 23

8. "I want someone who isn't going to play it safe and willing to try new things. Let's jump out of our comfort zone and make lasting memories!" - 21

9. "Someone who is willing to duet with me in any and all genres of music." - 20

10. "Someone who is going to inspire and help me be a better person!" - 20

11. "I want a guy with the body of Gene Kelly in Singing In The Rain" - 18

12. "I've never felt like I've been missing anything from not being a relationship since I love being just friends with people. I need to have fun with the person but also feel like I'm getting something out of it. Also, he should buy me a corndog at Sonic." - 19

13. "I'm sorry, I know I sound crazy, but I want it all. I want the flowers. I want him to open my door. I want to share each others location and FaceTime until we fall asleep. I just think stuff like that is so important." - 18

14. "I don't think relationships need to be as complicated as we make them. All you need is common ground, trust in each other, and a whole lot of love. I just want someone who is going to be there for me during the good and the bad. Someone who makes me feel comfortable and safe." - 21

15. "I want the kind of mans that is down to spoon feed me mashed potatoes after my wisdom teeth surgery." - 22

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
