Stop Trying To Find Your "Type"

Your type of guy is overrated.

Stop Trying To Find Your "Type"

In the words of Rae Sremmurd, "I ain't got no type."

Brown eyes, brunette hair, tall... my ideal guy- or so I thought.

People who constantly look for that certain person based on who they think they want are going to miss out on opportunities with other people. We all do it, guilty as charged. But when you constantly hear that one friend talk about how no guys like her, it's probably because her expectations are too high. I'm not much of the Prince Charming, sweep you off your feet, kind of girl, but in reality that rarely happens.

When you picture your ideal person and actually meet that person, 9/10 times they won't meet your expectations. Instead we develop a physical attraction instead of an emotional connection. You wouldn't want to be crying over a tub of ice cream or chugging through beers just to mention you met the perfect person, but it was just a hookup. Yeah, that's a blow to the ego. How many times have you heard your friends say, "he/she is everything I've ever wanted but...." But, nothing. No matter what, that person is always going to be compared to your "type" that you created in your mind.

What I'm saying is, even if a person you meet isn't what you thought you'd be into, give it a shot. You can't help who you fall for and "the one" could be someone you least expect. Whether it be a friendship or a relationship, you can't deny a connection. Opposites attract just as well as anyone else. So if your zodiac is telling you not to date someone because you two aren't "astrologically compatible," (1) you probably shouldn't be dating and (2) it's your life. You have the option to do as you please, but don't skip out on an opportunity. It's time to try something new.

Resting b***h face. Defined as a person, usually a girl, who naturally looks mean when her face is expressionless, without meaning to. Many of you suffer from this "condition." You are commonly asked what's wrong, when nothing is. What people don't know is that is just your facial expression. Here are some things they wish you knew.

College students, you might be able to relate to this one. These probably sound familiar because we often tell ourselves these phrases; however, we are unable to follow or agree with these the following, deep down inside of our overwhelmed, tired minds.

1. "No more spending money on useless things"

Until you walk into a 99 cents store and suddenly have the urge to pick up anything that's less than a dollar.
