Stop Trying To Find Your "Type"

Your type of guy is overrated.

Stop Trying To Find Your "Type"
Mr Wallpaper

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.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
