To The People Who Do Not Respect Relationships

A relationship is two, not three.

If you know that someone is in a relationship, please back off. There is nothing good about making someone else unhappy in order to make yourself happy. Ruining their relationship won't do anything other than hurting the one that you are interested in and you should never want that. If that person truly wanted to be with you, they'd end their current relationship to start a new one with you. Don't try and pressure them.

Nobody likes a homewrecker. Chances are, the one that you want won't even want to think about being with you if you are constantly trying to get them to break up with their significant other. Always remember that there is more than one person in the world. You may think that the person in a relationship is absolutely the one for you, but there are always other people. Wait it out. If it is meant to be, it will happen. Intruding on the relationship will just make the one that you are interested more irritated with you.

It is not cute to be a "side hoe" or "side chick". If the person that you're interested in really wanted to be with you, they'd end their current relationship and start one with you. They'd respect you and their significant other enough to give one of you up instead of trying to have both. Don't make yourself stoop to that level. I know that if I found out that someone was really trying to break my boyfriend and I up to be with him, I'd have a little something to say to the other person.

Encourage love, not hate or disrespect. How would you feel if you were on the other side? Not so good. This is part of bringing back genuine relationships and people like you are the ones who make that hard. You shouldn't ever want a cheater

The relationship is between the two in it. It is not up to you to swoop in and try to make it end. If either of them are unhappy, they will end it themselves. Stay respectful. Always think about how you would feel if someone were to do the same thing to your relationship.

Don't be that person. Would you want to be with someone like that?

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
