Why You Should Always Go For The Emotional Guy

I realize that my love life wasn't written by Nicholas Sparks.

Why You Should Always Go For The Emotional Guy
Total Sorority Move

“No guy will ever love me this much” my friend murmurs as she analyzes a Twitter video displaying a scrapbook full of sweet, yet totally cheesy, photographs of a couple that a very impassioned boyfriend made for a super fortunate girl.

Now, to put this Twitter personality on a pedestal and compare him to every other average boyfriend isn’t necessarily fair. However, what also isn’t fair is my other friends' responses to the video, commenting that “Twitter boy” is way too emotional, and she in no way finds his obsession over his girlfriend attractive. Considering the uttermost romance us girls are exposed to nowadays is two heart-eyed emojis commented under our selfie, or even complimenting our highlighter (but most importantly knowing what highlighter is), it is hard to distinguish between adoration and delusion.

It is such a novel concept to the majority of girls that when a guy is open to showing his more vulnerable side, he is in fact not a “pussy.” He is simply just emotional. I for one find myself to be smitten over a boy who will race me to a door to hold it for me, is a fan of the long “goodnight text messages” and, believe it or not, actually likes talking about his feelings. This is what I am attracted to, as sometimes you may have to put in a little more effort than normal to spare his feelings. He is genuine and that is something so hard to come by.

The emotional boy is always pushing himself to remember the small details; what outfit you wore to dinner last week, the song lyric you sang just a little bit louder than the rest of the song, or even remembers the cute pose you wanted to do for your Instagram photo. The emotional guy is flawlessly selfless and so beautifully compassionate.

So ladies, be open-minded to the nice guy. Accept him for his giving nature and don’t think twice about it. If even after considering all of this the emotional guy isn’t for you, fine; more nice guys for me!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
