Why Guys Need To Stop Saying "All Of The Good Girls Are Taken"
Rachel Wahlin Photography

If I had a dollar for every time I have heard some guy say this I would probably be able to live financially stable in my penthouse with my dogs.

Relationships seem like they are everywhere in college. You see people holding hands while going to class, posting cute pictures everywhere and seeing that they just vibe so well together. They are loyal to each other, and probably have been dating forever it seems.

Then, there is a single you, wanting to be in a relationship, and wanting to care for someone, and (what I say) being someone’s "rock.”

I see/hear all of the time how guys say, “all of the good girls are taken” and that “hoes are everywhere in college” (which we all can admit is true, but not every girl is like that).

Now think of how your parents met. Was it when he/she was trashed and dancing on a table at a party? Or was it when they saw them just doing their own thing, and being themselves, in some sort of pure moment?

Now let me ask you, are you being fake?

Are you being your true self to someone?

Or are you putting on some sort of show/mask to make them like you?

I can tell you right now, if you don’t show your true colors, you won’t find true love.

Now boys, listen up. Not all of the “good girls” are taken.

You yourself may not be ready to be in a relationship, even if you think you are ready to be in one, and that is completely okay.

God will bring that person into your life when they are meant to be. Also, if you are looking on tinder, or going to parties to look for a relationship, that may not be the best idea.

My advice to you is to look closely at the people around you. Are you drawn to anyone? Do they show characteristics that you truly look for in a woman? Are they hard working, down to earth and not afraid to be themselves? Those are the girls to look for.

If there isn’t anyone like that in your life right now, that is completely okay.

Love is patient, and love is kind. It will happen when it is meant to. The greatest things come to those who wait.

Good girls are out there, and they are hidden gems that you are meant to find.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.

15 Things That Happen On Your Birthday

Do you have a small get-together or throw a big bash?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.
