An Overactive Mind: Relationship Kryptonite
When a well educated professional who respects the women and men around him tries to form relationships, he limits himself to being analogous with the stereotypical “good guy.” When he puts himself out there, its often really out there and it’s quiet off-putting. Now combine that with the mentality that everything that a man says must represent some sort of societal masculine power fetish, and you’ve basically got the set up to an entire generation of men who suffer from anxiety and poor self image.

10 Things To Never Say To Twenty-Somethings
For the last three years of my college life, I’ve played victim to an uncreative chasm of questions geared at family gatherings, friend dinners, bridal showers, you name it, all of which come with stock answers. When you see people you haven’t for awhile, you can almost feel the follow-up before it happens. A lighthearted hug, the chipper “how are you doing?” met by the almost-always “good,” and then: the procession.

Why the Magical Woman With the Deepest Love Is All Alone...
Why is that magical woman with the deepest love always overlooked and all alone? She doesn’t have time to play games with your mind and heart. She will be straightforward concerning her desires. She will be expressive and communicative about the connection you share and the feelings she feels. Her lover must be restless with the confines of game playing. Her lover must be open.

Swiping can very well be my favorite activity in the world, but only if I’m buying shoes and swiping a credit card not left or right swiping potential dates off Tinder- that kind of swiping is no fun at all.

The Beginning of a New Chapter
The hardest part of this process was my vows. The saying “No words can ever describe how much you love someone” well...that is a very factual statement. There are so many things I want to tell you (Tyler) but how do I even start? I can tell you “I love you”, or “you’re my entire world”, I could tell you a never ending book on why I’ll be saying “I do” in 6 days. The only problem is...I have no idea where to start. Do I start from the moment I laid my eyes on you? Or the moment you asked me to go out with you? Or maybe the first time you told me you love me? I have not a stinking clue. I have written two sets of vows and they’re both beautiful but they do not even say everything I want to say. So, I combined them together and still nothing. I am keeping them because if I continue to write I’ll never be ready. So here it goes.

How to Keep Your Long Distance Relationship Alive
Long Distance Relationships are the hardest type of relationship to be in. They're the hardest to keep alive, too. But, they're the most rewarding, in my opinion. Long Distance Relationships depend on the unbreakable trust and strong communication of both people. Sometimes, there are moments in your LDR that'll seem so dull... and stagnant (as a girl who has been in ten different LD relationships, these moments are imminent!). During this time, you might lose faith in your love, or your lover's love. Worry no more! Here are some tips to keep your relationship alive!

How Disney World Destroyed My Relationship
Welp, story time. This ones a little sad, okay? Buckle up. Last year, around this time I had started seeing someone. I met him at a grocery store that him and I were working at. He was different and always made me laugh, although at first I wasn't really into him. It took a few dates and a few kisses to realize I was actually head-over-heels for the stupid fuck. We started "dating" in November 2015. We started like any other young relationship: texting constantly, snapchatting and hanging around one an other as much as humanly possible. It was great, but there was always this dark cloud hanging over our relationship, because we both knew it would be long distance soon enough. Let me explain, first of all, let's give this fucker a name... let's call him Dingus. So Dingus went to culinary school. He's a great cook, and as a part of the program he was in...he got to select an internship and well...intern there. Dingus decided to go to Disney World...the happiest place on Earth...duh. Dingus would never want to talk about him leaving, he would get sad and shut down...like any real man!
