The Struggles Of Having A Gamer Boyfriend

Maybe you wake up to him rage-quitting as he throws the controller at the ground, floor, ceiling or his head.

The Struggles Of Having A Gamer Boyfriend

Having a boyfriend is great and all, until you release their inner rage-quit, video-game-loving self. Your relationship does a complete 180 and you start spending your evenings sitting on his bed watching him badmouth his other rage-quitting, video-game-loving friends, instead of at Chick-Fil-A enjoying each other’s company and stealing his waffle fries. From one girl to another, here are six signs that you’re also dating a "rage-quit, video-game-loving" man.

1.You’re frequently late to things.

While you spend your sweet time doing your hair and makeup, he’s sitting on the bed playing video games, refusing to get ready. It’s almost like having a small child at this point because you practically have to tie their shoes for them if you want to even consider getting out of the door in a timely manner.



2. You have to calm him down when he dies…over and over again.

They scream, they yell, they throw their controller. Once again, small child.


3. Talking on the phone is nearly impossible.

It’s like having a one-sided conversation. You talk and they respond “mhmm” for every response and then remind you that when they scream “you bastard!” they aren’t talking to you.



4. You wake up to gunshots, warfare, and the start screen theme music.

If he tends to wake up before you, you’ve probably woken up to either of the sounds I just mentioned. Or maybe you wake up to him rage-quitting as he throws the controller at the ground, floor, ceiling or his head.



5. You spend your weekend nights watching him lose (or win) against his friends on Smash Bros.

This one is probably just another holiday you get drunk during at this point. PSA: Don't ever forget the wine!



6. You’ve learned to love video games, too.

Because nothing beats beating him at his own game…literally.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
