6 The College Kitchen Hannah Davis Arts & Entertainment Editor | Aug 28, 2013 Arts&Entertainment The Saber | Columbus State University Hate doing dishes but love cooking? Try the one pot pasta There is nothing worse than doing dishes. Ten page essays have nothing on the disdain held by college students for dishes. They multiply like rabbits in the sink, but they never seem to belong to anyone. They just appeared. Now they are waiting. Waiting you to wash them. But there is one recipe, one recipe to bet the system. One pot, one dish, done. What could possibly better?

You just have to figure it out. The passion behind finding where they are could rival Frodo’s determination to get rid of The One Ring. Just as you are about to hit the call button you remember they said they were going to the mall to hang with some friends. Instead of being satisfied that your memory came back before you made a fool of yourself. You decide to go to the mall and find your significant other. There’s nothing wrong with popping up unannounced because you want the attention right? Franchesca Renfroe Photo: Jay Armstead Staff Writer That’s weird, rud, and a bit creepy. If you find yourself always crashing your significant other’s “hang time” with their friends, Then chances are youare a bit clingy. If you cannot fathom evey spending time apart, then you are a bit clingy. “Clingy girlfriends? Oh, I drop them before they have a chance to mess up my relaxing life. The clingy girlfriends are the ones who call you 20 times in a row to see where you are… right after you talked to them five minutes ago. They won’t even let you get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom! Nope. I can’t have a clingy girlfriend.” – Danny (student did not want to give his real name. Maybe because he has a clingy girlfriend). Well, Danny does have a point. Being a clingy girlfriend can mess up the balance in your relationship. It can make the one person who you’re supposed to be with to rela, want to hide from you. Don’t be the clingy girlfriend. How can you avoid being a clingy girlfriend? Try getting used to being alone. Every time you have the urge to follow your significant other… Don’t! You do not need to know what your boo is doing every second of every day. That is just weird. We are all grown here, and there is no need to babysit. There is no need to go Mission Impossible on your partner’s social networking sites. Remember: If you go looking for dirt, you’ll find it. Learn to trust. At the end of the day the most common thing clingy girlfriends have in common is that they have trust issues. If you can’t trust your partner, then there is no reason for you to be in a relationship. Maybe you should try growing by yourself first before getting into a relationship. Clingy Girlfriends exist. We all know this, but you can still play your part in not being one of them! WRONG.
