I have a theory...

the internet will ruin all relationships. How you ask? Oh, please, sit back as I enlighten you into the world of why.

Okay, so everyone and their mom has facebook, myspace, etc. That's all fine and good. The problem is that each of these social networking sites has mini feeds so that you can see what all of your friends on that site are doing. So say your boyfriend has a bunch of pictures tagged of him making out with some random girl, and the pictures are dated from the last weekend. He said he was going home for the weekend. Even if you don't catch that, chances are one of your friends will.

So where does that leave you, except confused, right? Right. So it's hard to trust someone who
is saying things to you and then showing up on these websites doing completely different things. I'm not saying that people aren't free to do whatever they want. I'm just saying back before facebook and myspace, it was a lot easier to cheat on your signifigant other. At the very least, it was much more difficult to get caught lying to them.

Now in no way, shape or form do I support cheating. I think cheating is stupid and immature, and if you want to cheat, spare your signifigant other's feelings and dump them.

Even if you're not cheating on your signifigant other, it's very easy for people to think that you are cheating. The best solution to this problem? COMMUNICATION. Don't stalk your boyfriend or girlfriend on the web. Talk to them, try and have a normal relationship. Don't let your friends tell you about stuff they've seen on your guy's facebook. Have faith that your guy is a good guy, (and I hope he is!) and just have fun together.

This all coming from the single girl down the street. I have no real dating advice. I suck at it myself, so to each their own. Good luck, world!

On Principle Alone

As I get ready to start my final year of college, I've started to look back on my life. I can't believe I'm 22 years old. I still feel like I'm 16, not to mention, look it.

I remember when I started college, I was such a shy and quiet girl. I was the girl who had never drank, smoked, done drugs, or had sex. I had no intentions of doing those things either. My whole goal was simply to graduate.

I have to laugh at how much I've changed. And it's not at all a bad thing that I have changed. It was probably better that way. I mean now I'm a much more outspoken, happy person. I have the best damn friends in the world, and I'm about to be a college graduate. That just boggles my mind!

No one in my family has gone to college. They all got married and had kids right after high school. But not me. Sometimes I think it's good I chose another path. Other times I feel like I'm way over my head. Sometimes I don't feel smart enough to be in college, ya know?

At times I wish I just got married right of high school and started my life right away. But I look at my friends from high school....more than one of them is a pot head. One is a mother of two and married for 2 years now. It makes me feel like I haven't accomplished anything yet.

Thought I'm not gonna lie, I much rather be playing beer pong and doing shots than taking care of a child and a husband. I kinda don't wanna ever be that person that settles in the suburbs, has 2.5 kids and drives them all to soccer. I want to do something more. But I'm not exactly sure what that is. I just hope that I can find someone that makes me happy and feels the same way I do about life.

But in the meantime, I have a degree to complete and many many nights of drinking to partake in.

Hi...High...Hai

I just had one the best weekends ever. EVER. I would not have changed a thing, because it was perfect. I wish life was just one continous weekend.
