Stop Giving Me Relationship Advice When I’m Not Asking For It
@couplegoals

To the people who think they’re giving helpful advice when not asked: STOP!

We all have that one friend, family member, or even acquaintance who just always seems to be in our business. They always want to know if there’s any drama in our life instead of worrying about themselves. Too many times girls have tried to give me relationship advice, acting like they know my relationship better than I do, and frankly, I’m over it.

I love a little gossip occasionally (who doesn’t?). I want to know what you and your boyfriend have been up to, and I will gladly share what I’ve been up to with mine. However, a line needs to be drawn when you start criticizing me and judging my relationship. I’m all for improving my relationship and learning ways to do so, but sometimes I don’t want your opinion, nor did I ask for it.

I’m not sure how me talking about things we've done leads to you analyzing my whole life and relationship, but I’m done listening.

In the beginning, I used to take the advice. But the only place that left me was in a heated argument with my boyfriend. Why? Because you don’t know anything about my relationship.

Every relationship is different and every couple has different things that work for them. That’s what makes things interesting. But when you’re too concerned about how my relationship is doing rather than focusing on your own, we have an issue.

Girls, stop judging other girls for every little decision they make in their relationship. Chances are, you do the exact same thing, and in my case, you're doing things even worse. So please, worry about your own problems.

I’m not saying I don’t want to talk about my relationship, we’re girls it’s what we do. All I’m saying is stop acting like your relationship is better than mine, and stop “advising” me about things when you not only don’t know the full story, but don’t know my relationship.

Sincerely,

All girls in relationships

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
