Tinder And The Real Reason Everyone Is Using It
Huffington Post

Let's go over the real reason everyone is using tinder and why it is not okay.

Tinder is a new thing that majority of college students or people in their 20's use but my real question is what do you get out of it?

Swipe left, swipe right.. take a minute to understand that.. this is the dumbest thing I have ever heard

And not to hurt any one's feelings that actually uses tender but it is nothing more than a local hook up app, in whatever town you are in you can find people in that same area as you

The truth hurts but I am here to tell you, our generation complains about the horrible relationships that we have allowed ourselves to get into or the horrible ways we are all treated but then we go and we download apps like Tinder and date or hang out with the guys or girls off of there.

A lot of the times you will hear the college stories about how they went on a trip and immediately got onto tinder to find all of the local "hotties"

Why are we searching for confidence from an app, how many swipe rights you got or how many "superlikes" you have gotten.

Us females have lost our minds downloading this app and letting ourselves be fully available to be hit on in a disrespectful manner or even worse a one night stand and never hearing from them again

We complain about the way men talk to us and the disrespectful direct messages we receive but are so quick to download something like tinder to put our faces and bodies out there to be seen and "swiped right on"

No, I am not saying if you have a Tinder that you are suddenly a bad person because you could be the greatest person walking but that doesn't change your intentions while using this app but we can not continuously complain about our generations dating compared to back in the day when we allow ourselves to be freelanced on sites like Tinder when we all know the intentions of guys and sometimes girls on Tinder is not to just sit down and have a cup of coffee or actually go on a well thought out date..

We are all so much more than a swipe on an app and I do not understand why that is so difficult for us to understand. You deserve the person you can go out with and enjoy life with.

Not someone that is just in the same town as you for the night, there is so many things wrong with that, know what you deserve.

Open your eyes and know your worth because I promise someone will see the beauty that you have inside and out and give you everything deserve but you will not find that in a Tinder site. Respect yourself first so others will respect you also.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September.
