We all grow up with different ideas of the perfect guy, the perfect boyfriend, sometimes we wish to be able to build our own as if they were male Barbie dolls. Well ladies, I have figured out the perfect formula of the man for me. Luckily I didn’t even have to make him. He was introduced to me on the way to a Florida Georgia Line concert wearing a white Columbia fishing shirt and most perfect smile. Most search for what they want in life, but if a relationship is meant to be it will magically…

of their t-shirts into their shorts. I don’t know why everyone else does it but I started and it is almost a habit now. The people with more influence on me or my “significant others” are easier for me to talk about and I am proud of them and like to brag to people about them. Both of my parents would most definitely be in my “significant other” group. My father is a social worker who has helped many people to take steps to repair their lives. He is the only person I know who truly does not…

In 2017, as time passes that idea of love has changed; love is no longer the same as a 1900’s. Love has made its way to social media making it more complicated to find love. Love is complicated and love has its hardship. Love is a feeling you have for someone you care about. Relationships used to be simple, a boy had a crush on a girl. They would be too nervous to even talk, but eventually they built the courage to go out on a date. At present time is not so simple. It is not as laid- back as…
