My boss’s nephew is getting married in September. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting the happy couple, and they are a perfect match for one another. You know the type; they finish each other’s’ sentences, have the same ideals, morals, and interests, and know what the other needs before they do. But they avoid telling people the “real” story of how they met, changing it each time, from saying they met at a coffee shop to while rock climbing (by the way, neither of them rock climbs).

Keep Your Skin Safe Year-Round With Sun Protection
It’s July of 2010. Alex had a bit too much to drink the night before and fell asleep next to the pool at his friend’s house without sunscreen on. He would later wake up with third degree sunburn from head to toe. He would be so dehydrated that he would require four IV’s of fluids at the hospital four days later and his knees would lock in a 90 degree angle as his muscles seize.
Volunteering to Make a Difference
One Student Realizes Importance of Helping Others After Experience at Charity Bike Race
There was a time when I thought that volunteering was simply a part of community service. People volunteer or do community to impress schools he or she wishes to attend or in order to fulfill a certain amount of hours for being caught partying a little too hard off campus.

Regardless, no one volunteers without an ulterior motive.
Being a Homebody at a Young Age
I have a confession to make: I hate going out. A Saturday night spent in yoga pants, eating warm, gooey chocolate chip cookies, hanging out with my fiancé and my kitten while watching a marathon of Entourage episodes sounds like an ideal night to me.
What Do Fairy Tales Really Teach Us About Romance?
“Someday my prince will come.” It is the song that little girls around the world hear Snow White serenade to the little birds and squirrels she calls friends. The princess movies of our childhood teach us to wait for our Prince Charming. He should be tall, dark and handsome; brave, rich and passionate; kind, caring, and sensitive. Being royal does not hurt either.
How to Be Happy
With the New Year upon us, it is time to remember our New Year’s resolutions. Lose weight, stop smoking, save more, spend less, Dean’s List, stop watching full seasons of televisions shows at a time on Hulu, all very valiant resolutions. This year, I have a different New Year’s Resolution. Call it the resolution to end all resolutions. This year, I vow to be happier.
How Young is Too Young for Marriage?
Engaged at 21, One Student Shares Her Experience of Impending Marriage
“But you’re so young! Don’t you want to live?” I always laugh when people ask me this. As far as I know, you don’t stop living once you’re married. You don’t fall into a void of nothingness where you no longer do anything.
