Likes, favorites, retweets, comments, and all those weird emotion things Facebook just added. We live for instant gratification. It's not because we're selfish, it's because of the Internet. It's because we not only have to look great in person but we also have to look great online. There is more than one impression to make…

You Could Have Met Your Future Spouse Before You Even Turned 16
I once read that 82% of people meet their future spouse before they even turn 16. I tried doing my research on this one to find out where it came from and everything was unconfirmed. This is basically a made up statistic. Yet, it resonated with me and sticks with me to this day -…

Forgetting Not Forgiving
The phrase goes: forgive and forget. Stop feeling the resent you feel towards someone and put it in the back of your mind. That person's mistake that caused you anger or hurt is gone forever and you move on with your life. I've never really been one to forgive because a lot of people ask…
Last Year In My 20s
This month I turn 29, my last year in my 20s. Insanely enough, I started this blog when I was 21. So I’m creeping up on 8 years writing on this blog. In that time, we’ve had a name change from Hookup Culture to Rosie Culture. I was a recently-dumped broken-hearted sorority girl trying to…

Making The First Move
Guys deserve a lot of credit for making the first move. It's just what is expected in society, that guys will approach a girl first. They'll ask for their number and have to make the phone call. They ask her to dance or out on a date. It's mostly all up to the guy to…
Stop Revisiting Failed Relationships
If at first you don't succeed, try and try again. This doesn't apply to failing relationships, so stop trying and trying again when you already know it's not going to work out. I'm completely guilty of double, triple, quadruple thinking my decisions especially when it comes to relationships. After ending something I often wonder if…
