“Should I give up, or should I just keep chasing pavements?” was a pressing question posed by Adele in 2011 that still rings true today. Relationships can be the most wonderfully poisonous things that we all get to experience in our lives. Love is like a hand of cards — you can be confident with the cards you have,...
Let me state the obvious: It’s a new year and it’s time to do things differently. The onslaught of ads for gyms, diet plans and inspirational quotes has officially began to infiltrate our lives, but fear not. We’ve ignored them before and we can ignore them again. However, if you’re like me and want to stand in the blaring...
One of the biggest obstacles that come with relationships are often your parents or their parents. Parents can be the catalyst for many problems that might plague a relationship. They're essentially the gatekeepers of your heart. They inspect and persecute anyone who doesn't rise up to their standards. A slow and gradual progression is always the best way to...
Breaking up is always messy. Whether you are the one who is being dumped or the one who is doing the dumping, it’s not easy. However, there are ways to maintain your sanity during the difficult time that is the breakup as well as ways to initiate one without making you look too much like the bad guy.

It’s a strange feeling to be a walking oxymoron. No one really expects you to be gay when you’re a Christian nor are you really expected to be Christian when you’re gay. Like some ideological Capulet and Montague feud, I’ve always grown up as some dystopic mixture of Romeo and Juliet; futilely attempting to keep my blasphemous union a...
There comes a time in every relationship when you both start noticing each others’ flaws: his obnoxious snoring, her dreadful morning breath, his disturbing sense of “fashion” or her questionable messiness. So, a very important question is raised. Is he or she worth it?
Relationships, one way or another, are tests. They test your patience and tolerance for the other...
Summer is almost always an obstacle in college relationships, whether it’s due to the fact that you both will be moving to separate areas after graduation, or you both currently live on opposing sides of the state or country, even. You won’t be seeing each other almost every day like it was during school (if you’re both not taking...
It’s no surprise that in this modern age, we turn to the internet for help. Sick? Enter your symptoms at WebMD! (Although I strongly advise against that, because after a few scrolls you may convince yourself that you’re going to die soon). Want to see what people think of that new restaurant you’re dying to try? Go look at...
I’ve pretty much scavenged the depths of the Atlantic Ocean and the craters of the moon in search of a romantic relationship. Still. No. Luck. Fishing for a partner can be a tough and strenuous struggle. For those of you still on the boat praying to find your prized catch at the parties and clubs, it might be best...
I’m sure we’re all familiar with the “best friends that are also a couple” motif present in both life and fiction. There’s Marshall and Lily from “How I Met Your Mother.” There’s Harry and Sally from “When Harry Met Sally.” There’s Kirk and Spock in some fanfiction I once read (on second thought, that probably wasn’t canon).
There’s also the...
