Woman Hospitalized After Tripping Over Low Bar Set By Prospective Boyfriend

Local waitress, Stacy Gibbs, was hospitalized earlier this week after an unsuccessful first date. Gibbs was using Alright Eros, an online dating app, when she was injured.

“I had been talking to him for a few days, and it seemed to be going really well,” says Gibbs. But when I walked into the restaurant, I fell right over and smashed my face on the floor.”

Gibbs had been knocked unconscious and woke up the next day in Lankenau Hospital. She later found out what happened from her would-be date, James Cooper.

“I just wanted to have an open mind about things,” says Cooper. “I’ve been striking out lately, so I figured I’d just say yes to the next girl that agreed to go on a date with me, no matter how horrible she seemed. But I guess I just set the bar too low.”

As luck would have it, the next girl was thoroughly horrible, but Cooper’s chances are likely long gone anyway. After explaining himself to Gibbs, the couple’s brief connection was severed.

“I just find it insulting,” says Gibbs, “I’m a catch - I deserve someone who can see that. I have a job, I’m getting my masters degree - I’m incredibly good-looking too.” When pressed, Gibbs was unable to explain just what it was she was looking for in a match.

Respect? Attention? Instagram followers?

“I want to die,” says Cooper, who has sworn off online dating and most other forms of social interaction. “This is like high school all over again.”

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
