Why Confidence Is The Sexiest Thing Ever

Have you ever really thought about why you find a certain person attractive?  Why the most desired boy in high school is this big hot-shot that everyone knows, the biggest frat star on greek row is the same guy every freshman is dying to sleep with, or why everyone falls head over heels for a man that really knows what he’s talking about?  Why it’s always the bitchiest, most stuck up, or obnoxiously vocal girls guy go for?  Confidence is attractive.  It’s embedded in all of us to find these types of people desirable. Starting at a young age we’re all taught those that are mean to you are mean because they “like” you or have a crush on you.  Young men and women of today’s generations tear themselves down and beat themselves up over not feeling “wanted”, finding reasons such as not being good-looking enough, not smart enough, or

How It Feels to Have Never Been in a Serious Relationship

I’m twenty and I’ve never been in a relationship that’s lasted longer than a month or two. But so what, right? I’m only twenty. I still have my entire life ahead of me!

So that being said, here are my tips for being “Bae-less” in the fall. Go To Goodwill for Comfy Large Sweaters Because if you wash it enough, and spray it with some

College Girl Explains Her Lessons Learned From A Bad Break Up

This past September my first real relationship came to an end. And as you can imagine the breakup wasn’t a pleasant one. In fact, the conversation ended with me sobbing hysterically in my bedroom as my ex walked out of the door and out of my life. To this day we haven’t spoken and while I think that there will come a time that we can, I don’t think that day has come.     My ex did not know that I had wanted to break up when I told him that I wanted to talk. Just a few days earlier we had gotten into an ugly fight but afterwards we had smoothed things out and appeared to be no worse for the wear. Unfortunately, that wasn’t true for me. I so desperately wanted to convince myself and him that I could make things work. I felt that after nine
