It's vital to your relationship.

In today's world, dating has become undermined with texting, Facetime, and phone calls. What happened to the romance, the excitement? As today's children grow up into young adults, they are being taught that "dating" is over an electronic device and that there is no actual work involved. We as millennials still expect some of the romantic satisfaction that our grandparents had. We hope for a boy to come to our front porch, ring the doorbell, have that awkward talk with the parents, and take us on a real date. Yes, I might seem a little over-concerned with this, but romance can't be dead.

Dates create a special atmosphere for you and your partner. They create lasting memories. These don't have to be over the top, expensive dates. A walk in the park, stargazing, movie night. All of these are easy things that can be done to revitalize a relationship. In ten years, you can talk about that romantic night you had under the stars. Dates are the epitome of relationship building. Want to know their favorite food? Take them on a date. Want to meet their parents? Take them on a date. Want someone to sit through that really sappy romance movie. TAKE THEM ON A DATE!!!!!

Dates fix everything. Literally Everything. My boyfriend will take me to sonic and call it a date. Attention everyone: this is not a date. Now don't get me wrong. My boyfriend can be romantic when he wants to be. I've had dates to watch the stars surrounded by a beautiful lake. With this, some boys need a little push from time to time. Give them subtle hints of what you would like to do. Let them choose a place that is special to them. It will make it even more special that he chose to share it with you.

Going on dates can mean something more. You have a chance to find out who you are with and if there is something greater to be had. If it's bad, move on. As your mother told you before, "There are plenty of fish in the sea.". If it's great, continue going on more dates. Each one provides you with the opportunity to get to know this person better and create a stronger connection than you previously had.

Dating doesn't have to be difficult. It can be easy, lightweight, and full spirited. Love is in the air and everyone wants to feel its' breeze across their cheek. Whether it's subtle or like lightning striking, Love can always be great. You just have to willing to put in the work and go on a date.


**** Update on the boyfriend: He is taking me to dinner and a movie tonight. This plan does not include sonic. #blessed

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?

Happy Birthday Cake

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.
