As far as I'm concerned, there are plenty of articles out there about tell us how our significant other should treat us, and why we should go ahead and dump them if they aren't doing certain things for us.

Have we ever stopped to think about how we, as women, should be treating our boyfriends, too? Here are some things that you should consider doing for your boyfriend (if you aren't doing them already).

1. Support him.

Support your man in all he does. Support his goals. His dreams. And praise him for his accomplishments along the way.

2. Little gifts here and there.

A lot of great boyfriends like to buy little things for their girlfriends every once in a while. Sometimes, when you do the same for your man, it means a lot to him. Just like it means a lot to us girls.

3. Remind him how important he is.

Just like how he gives you little reminders, it’s nice for you let him know how important he is to you too. This is a simple thing that us girls often forget to do because we’re usually the ones that need the reassurance, but it means a lot to your boyfriend if you do it for him too.

4. Pick up the tab on a date.

A great boyfriend probably wouldn’t ever let you pay for any of your dates, but sometimes it’s nice in insist on having that dinner on you. As much as it might bother him that you’re paying, he’ll be relieved and appreciative of you I the end.

5. Spend time with his family.

Spending time with your boyfriend is very important and special. However, spending time with his family is also very important. If your relationship serious, getting close with his family is a great way to please him and your relationship. And it shows him that you really care and are serious about your relationship.

6. You understand when it's 'guys night.'

Your boyfriend has a life outside of your relationship just like you do. It’s important to understand that when he wants his boys’ night, let him have it. We need our girls’ nights so he should be able to have his guys’ night.

7. Push him to be a better man.

A great girlfriend will always push their boyfriends to be the best that they can be. You’ll change him for the better and in the end, he’ll love you for it. Even if it seems like he resents you at first.

8. You forgive.

You learn to forgive your boyfriend if he messes up and makes a mistake. A mature, adult relationship moves passed little problems.

9. You're equal.

The relationship is an equal partnership. You’re his princess and he’s your prince.

10. You love him.

No matter how many times he pisses you off and how many arguments you guys get into, you love him anyway. A great girlfriend loves her boyfriend through the good times and bad.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
