What Single People Want To Say During Engagement Season

We are ecstatic that you're getting married, honestly! It's really adorable to see how happy you are together and see the amazingly cheesy engagement photos....and then the other 17 that you've decided to post because "they were too cute not to!" We agree, it is very cute, but please we don't need to see you, your significant other and your ring 30 times on our news feed. We don't need to be put through that torture. You were in our shoes once, remember? Last engagement season? Weren't you also complaining about the high volume of rings?

Okay, so you don't remember? Let me jog your memory. Engagement season is that happy time of year that everyone is filled with good cheer and holiday spirit, it's a time that everyone realizes what they're thankful for and who they want to get the most thoughtful gift for. That get's people thinking! Man, I'm willing to spend this much or do this sweet of a thing for someone? I must really like them. Hell, maybe even love them. Maybe...just maybe...I love them enough to marry them AND that could be my Christmas gift!

Do you remember now? Thought so. Don't look at us like that. We're just reminding you what it feels like to be on the other side of the screen. I promise you that we are so, so, SO happy for you! Everyone deserves to have their moments of pure, unadulterated bliss on Facebook and in life, but just remember we can't share in your bliss for every single photo. The first few? Okay, sure, the happy couple is gorgeous! But can you let it rest now and just wait until the next set of photos to rub it in our faces?

....Okay...maybe we are a little jealous. You look deliriously happy and then we forget what it's like to be so happy in love that you want to shout out to the rooftops or share it endlessly on Facebook as if to say "LOOK WHO I CONVINCED TO MARRY ME HAHA." While we're on the other end finding the stupidest reasons to be unhappy for you. We think the ring is ugly. Those photos were too cheesy. The couple is way too young. I've actually seen them fight so much, omg.

We're sorry we put a damper on your engagement photos and posts. We forget what it's like to be excited like that sometimes. Just like you forget what it's like to have to see a couple be much happier than what you think you are at this very moment.

Congratulations. Happy Engagement!

(Please stop reminding us every week with a new photo from your engagement session.)

Now that Halloween is over, it's time to focus on the Holiday Season. Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

"The Office" is a mockumentary based on everyday office life featuring love triangles, silly pranks and everything in between. It can get pretty crazy for just an average day at the office.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

Being pre-med is quite a journey. It’s not easy juggling school work, extracurricular activities, volunteering, shadowing, research, and MCAT prep all at the same time. Ever heard of “pain is temporary, but GPA is forever?” Pre-meds don’t just embody that motto; we live and breathe it. Here are 10 symptoms you’re down with the pre-med student syndrome.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
