Ladies, it's time to wake up.

Stop The Fantasy: Social Media Relationships Aren't What They Seem
http://www.blackgirlhealth.com

In today's society, we have created this type of fictional world where everything is supposed to be set in stone. Girls are going around saying #RelationshipGoals and thinking relationships are about taking cute pictures and showing your significant other off to the world. News flash! That’s the complete opposite of what relationship was built upon. Social media is only for you to see what people want to broadcast to the world. No one really shows the real uncut views of being in a relationship and being married. It includes taking that person as themselves and loving them unconditionally. It includes being their backbone when they are feeling discouraged and feel like all hope is gone. Relationships are fun, don’t get me wrong. But, let’s not forget there are ups and downs in anything we really put our all into.

Ladies let’s remember that we must never let a guy disrespect or make us feel any less of a Queen no matter how cute or how much he tells us he loves us. If his actions are not backing him up, then you need to consider letting him go. Make sure you have everything in order within yourself before you bring someone into your life. If you are not ready to add someone else's baggage to your life, then it’s best that you take the time to focus on your life making sure you have everything under control mentally and physically.

You don’t have to wear inappropriate things in order for a guy to like you. Wearing outfits that are revealing is only sending signals that that’s the only thing you have to offer. You want him to have something to wonder about. You don't want to let him see your body before he knows your mindset and views on life. Remember to always put yourself first and never let anyone make you forget your morals and the respect you have for yourself.

Know that relationships are not just rainbows and sunshine, but can also be hurricanes and tornadoes too. Stay patient and everything will fall into place the way God intended.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
