If you search the popular hashtag #Goals or #RelationshipGoal on basically any form of social media you will see a slue of images of expensive or extravagant things that boyfriends have given their girlfriends. You will see pictures of couples traveling the world together and living "the dream." And Im sure if you are a girl in this generation you will probably be saying something like, "wow, I can't wait to find a guy that spoils me like that" or maybe "I wish my boyfriend did that with me"

Gifts and expensive things are nice don't get me wrong. But for some reason we fail to realize that we deserve more than the expensive things that a boy could buy you. I'm here to tell you that you deserve real "goals" ones that you have been dreaming of since you were a little girl. The "goals" that shouldn't cost a dime. The Relationship Goals that you should be searching for are things like...

A man who is loyal to you.

A man who loves you for exactly who you are.

Someone who encourages you and supports you through every step of your life - even the messy parts.

A guy who sees you as an equal in the relationship.

A guy who knows how important your family is to you and works hard to be apart of that family and he wants you to be in his.

A man who loves you when you wake up in the morning with messy hair just as much as he loves you all dolled up on date night.

A man who respects you and the decisions you makes - both together and apart/

Someone who never lets you go to bed upset.

A guy who is willing to fight for you through the bad days and the good one.

A man who does the little things to show you how much he loves you.

Someone who never stops romancing you.

Someone who loves the Lord and makes that the center of your relationship.

As women of this generation it is important that we remember what type of guy that we want and most importantly deserve to come into our lives. Please never sell yourself short of what you deserve in a relationship. You deserve more than that the pictures on social media of what is portrayed as "goals" you deserve to be in a relationship with someone who seems like dating your best friend. But I urge you not to settle please. The right one for you will come along and when he does you will know why other relationships never worked in the past. But it is gonna take time, you can't rush perfection. Let things fall into place as the Lord has planned. But please do not base what you want in a relationship by what you see on social media. Because I promise you that $200 makeup pallet he bought her on social media will eventually run out but the right guy who loves you for you will be there forever.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
