Do we really need love?

I call Bullshit

Personally, I think Nicholas Sparks is gay or secretly a woman. Show me a man out there like any of the men he writes about. Show me! The ones that are masculine yet so loving and charming. Its movies and books like this that ruin love for me. When was the last time you were partnered with someone for a project and magically fell in love? Or the bad boy on your campus took a look at you and found you more interesting than all of the 20k girls in the same school? If this happens to you, I hate you. Good bye. But! If you're normal like the rest of us, the answer is never. Now I know I may seem like a bitter, salty, pessimist, which I am becoming, I am not quite there as yet. I like to think I am more of a realist. A teller of bullshit if you will. Because that's what these movies and books are. Bullshit.

At the end of my freshman year of college, I was still with my first boyfriend. Let's call him Jeff. Now he was lovely and all of that but never introduced me to his parents. Now keep in mind, he has met both of my parents, my sister, and all of my friends. I met one of his friend. One. Was he sweet? Sure. Was he thoughtful? Absolutely. But who wants to feel like they aren't good enough to meet someone's friends or family. And he did have friends and was not an orphan, I checked. Now around April, I started the lovely app called tinder. I was still in this relationship mind you but it was freeing! My roommates and I, Elizabeth (lizzie), Sadie, and Nikki, would all come home from class and start swiping. In the first day, I matched with 60 people. How great is that! 60 people want me. And from then I was hooked. Eventually Jeff moved and I met Seth.
