Here's a list of things I feel can help you if you're in a relationship and trying to make it work in college.

1) realize you don't have to be in one.-

Hello, dude. You're AT YOUR PRIME. If you don't want to be commited to anyone, save you and the other person some time and don't be in a relationship! This is probably the most important bullet point in this post.

2) After you commit to a relationshipLet these dudes/ladies KNOW what's up-

you're always going to have to deal with meddlers ready to break up something good just to say they did it.

3)Send lovey-dovey random text messages

JUST DO IT! I love them.

4) Surround yourself with mutual friends + those that support the union

I cope with this a lot since I am in college and my boyfriend is not. Because of this, it is imperative that I engage him with my friends for multiple reasons. 1) So my friends won't try to get me to talk to other guys when I'm out without my BF, and 2) They will see how awesome he is and be jealous (kidding). No but seriously, you don't need friends whispering in your ear telling you that you don't need to be in a relationship, if you want to be in one.

5)Start new things together.


Get a puppy. Create a business plan. Ride a new roller coaster. Cowrite a book. Find a common ground and embark ona new journey together. Engage in activities that will teach you more about each other and you will learn so much about the type of person you're dealing with, and ultimately discover if the relationship is something work investing in.


TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

8 things to do with old glossys

I'ma magazine JUNKIE. Something about holding the latest month's shiny concoction of photos and blurbs makes me feel so...wonderful.

But what on earth do you do when you've got mounds of them? Now worries, I'm compiled a comprehensive list for you!


1. make a personal style collage highlighting your favorite items(this can assist greatly before aimless shopping trips)

2. make an inspiration board (filled with images that inspire YOU!)

3. Frame gorgeous images and mount as decor (this is such a cheap and chic way of glami-fying a dull room. (You can even buy cheap poster frames from target.)

4. shred/tear the pages and use them as shipping paper

5. roll it up and spank your puppy when he poops in the house

6. save a few in a trunk for your children or future generations (I wish my mom had saved some retro mags from back in the day. That's be so tight, right?)

7.laminate them and make a wallet/coin purse. remember the kool-aid jammer purse epidemic? if not click here

8. periodically rummage through back issues for content/prompt ideas for your personal blogs. If you're anything like me, you're always on the prowl for new site content!
