Sacrificing Ourselves for What Cause?

  So, when you start talking to someone and things are going pretty good, you trade numbers naturally. Then there's texting and then that conversation is pretty good... until the other person doesn't text you back. What happened? You're left sitting there wondering if they fell off a cliff. Did they? It's possible. There are infinite options as to what could have happened. Following are 10 options as to what could have happened to that other person:

10. They fell off a cliff
9. They were abducted by an alien
8. And possibly probed
7. Got kidnapped
6. Dropped phone in 'disrespected' toilet
5. Got distracted
4. Fell asleep
3. Doesn't know what to say and didn't inform you of such with the courteous 'Lol'
2. Ignored your text
1. Or worst of all doesn't want to talk to you

Looking at the options, you realize the first five options are more likely to have happened and it sucks. There is no excuse for not texting someone back. It's not like when you're on the phone and you get to pick up the other persons tone. With text messaging the fun is within the mystery, but that's also the scary part. What do you do when that happens? How does the other person explain a no response? Are you allowed to bring it up the next time you speak? How do you take preventative measures? You can always follow up if the other person doesn't text you back with in an hour. A simple "?" will do. If they don't respond then you know what happened. Also, if you know the person you text is a crappy texter then don't expect much, occupy yourself with better things, and move on. It's so not worth the stress.

More Or Less...

  So what happens when you are in this great relationship and only you feel that way? I'm sure we've all seen that girl or guy. They are sprung and you can't tell them nothin! They make their lives about their 'spouse', spend all of their time with them, and in some cases eliminate their friends. But I have another question. What happens when they break up three weeks later? Aside from earning a FAIL, they also are left to pick up the pieces. But it's never that simple. Who do they come crawling back to? You got it: the friends that they abandoned for the three week jerk or jerk[ette]. It sucks but it happens and honestly when it does, it's funny. There are always tells. I mean, we're in college. Not many relationships are going be this deep and passionate thing, as great as that would be, but we know what the situation is by now. A lot of people want someone but not a serious thing. Also for when your three week fling ends, who's going to take their place? I think monopolizing would be the right word Lol. When you really take into consideration the type of person your with, you know from the beginning what they want. If they say their in it for sex it's not a joke. You can't change people and why would you want to? If you have to change someone to be with them it's kind of a waste. So whenever you see that person making a mistake be a good friend and warn them that they may be in the midst of a one sided three week fling. Thanks :)

That Four Letter Word

What does it truly mean to love someone? What's the difference between loving and being in love? If love is so important than why is it love and not Love? Why do we need love? Do we need love, honestly? Why do we want something that has the power to hurt us so badly? Is love tangible? Is love only an abstract idea? Is love an abstract idea represented by concrete representations once a year? Who deemed love something that should even exist? Why does it exist? Where did it come from? How do you obtain love? How do you keep love? Is it possible to lose love? If you lose love does it mean that it was never there to begin with? What do we really know about love? Is love a lie? Who is this imposter? Isn’t love technically a crime because someone steals your heart? Do you want love? Do you have love? How do you express your love for someone? Does love change? Can you smell it? Can you feel it? Does it crawl on your skin and bite you? Does falling in love hurt? Does falling in love leave a scar? Is it a big one? Does love give you a warning? Does love write all of its songs? Does love love? Is love biased against those that don’t believe in it? Does love punish those that go searching for it? Is love fun? Is it hard? Is it for me? I have so many questions, but can anyone answer them? Will I find someone who can answer them or am I simply typing for a grade? J

The Land of Far Far Away

  So, I met someone during State Patty's Day. Don't get excited because he doesn't live anywhere near here nor does he attend Penn State. But he's very attractive ;). But the question I pose for you today is one concerning long distance. What are your limits via long distance? Do you have any options. He's, again at a different college, so I'm wondering if we should just be friends I mean it's not like it's love at first sight or anything. I don't know... Let's evaluate!

  When you meet someone, generally, you talk to get to know one another a little farther to know where you want to take the relationship. Actually, you talk so that you know whether or not you actually want a relationship. But anyway, when the distance is a little bit longer I think the rules are slightly different. At this point in our lives not many people want to be tied down to one person, especially males. So in the process of a long distance relationship of any kind it goes without saying that both people involved have to be very dedicated and willing to make it work.  Still, this is long distance we're talking about. In this case, he may transfer to Penn State next semester, but what if the possibility of being geographically closer did not exist? There would be the price of tickets, gas, energy, a lot of skyping or oovoo, and putting yourself out there. Is it possible to get to know someone from thousands of miles away? There's nothing better than face to face contact. Skype and oovoo help a lot, but when building any kind of 'connection' I think that part is essential.
 
  I think I have my answer. It is possible; just not possible for everyone. Me personally, it depends. If I can only see you once or twice a year then I might just have to be your friend. But if we see one another closer to something like once a month or one every couple of months, that can work. Distance makes the heart grow fonder but too much distance makes the heart disappear, that's my little twist on it. But that's just it: my opinion. What do you think?
