Some people deserve the world and some people just don't. Some people get what they want easily, some work hard for it, and some don't get anything at all. We all know that life isn't fair. We live it, breathe it, see it, and participate in it. So why do we constantly think we are…

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…
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…
The Internet Is Making Us Lonely
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 only strengthens the stereotype of the hookup culture and makes everyone questions how relationships work in college. When you're…
The Art Of Taking It Slow
Taking it slow sounds easy enough. You're trying to ease into a new relationship, tip toe around some things to avoid rushing in too fast and getting hurt. There's nothing wrong with taking it slow. In fact, I would encourage it. Falling head over heels in love sounds nice and all - but it also…
When A New Relationship Reminds You Of An Old One
No two relationships are exactly the same. But it is possible that similar feelings will bubble up. That falling in love will seem familiar. It's possible that you'll get into the same fights you've gotten in before or feel hurt just like you did before. That doesn't mean your new relationship is exactly like your…

Age Doesn’t Matter, Maturity Does
Even when I was immature I think I was more mature than most people my age. When I was younger I dated someone older than me and I thought that I would continue that pattern because guys my age or younger just seemed sooo immature. Your age and your maturity level don't always correlate. People…
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 -…
