1. Taking photos for my Tinder profile.

I always get stressed out when it comes to taking photos. Throw in the fact that people rate my attractiveness based on these pictures. It only leads to chaos. If I want to take a really good photo, I'll take an average of two hours just to look good. Then it takes another 30 minutes to find someone who is willing to help me take the photos. In the end, this plus taking the photos takes about three hours. In the end, I usually end up with zero photos that I actually like.

2. Showing my friends someone you matched with.

Every time I tell my friends that I started talking to a guy, they always ask for a photo. And usually, after a few glances, my friends will either approve or hate the guy for the rest of their life. There are even times where my friends will be on my phone checking out the guys who would be a perfect match for me. Usually, we all make a unanimous decision on who I should swipe for. This is a fun way to spend times with my friends.

3. Going on Tinder whenever I'm bored.

I always had the horrible habit of going onto Tinder whenever I was bored and didn't know what to do. This always lead to me mindlessly swiping through people, not fully paying attention to who I was swiping for. My mindless swiping lead me to some very interesting/unwanted conversations with guys I was never interested in the first place. One of many reasons for why I stopped using the app.

4. Getting excited whenever you have a lot in common with a guy.

I'm terrible at carrying out a conversation. I never know what to say. I always feel very awkward, especially when I'm talking to someone brand new. But if I find out that that person and I have something in common, the conversation gets more interesting. I get more comfortable if someone expresses interests in something I also enjoy. It makes having a conversation easier.

5. Talking to someone who is too forward.

This always happened to me. There would always be a guy who seemed nice. We would talk for a day or two. All of a sudden, I would get a message from them saying, "So. Want to hook up?" I automatically get annoyed and tell them that that's not what I'm looking for at the moment. This usually leads to the end of the conversation and me feeling extremely confused.

6. It's a new person every week.

Once you stop talking to one person, another one starts showing interest. And although it may be fun at first, it gets pretty boring. After a while, you just hope someone just stays a little while longer. Not saying that someone shouldn't enjoy talking to different people. I personally want someone who willing to be apart of my life and not randomly stop talking to me.

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.
