What are the things that truly make a worthwhile relationship? We all want that fairy tale wedding/relationship but the question is how does one get there? Of course the two have to be attracted to one another but what else?? Common interests, and even if they don't share the same interests the two should respect the others interests. The number one thing that makes relationships last is communication. The ability to talk to one another open and honestly. It doesn't stop at just talking but understanding is the core. Mutual understanding is why great relationships last. Next is the ability to have full trust in your partner and in your relationship. If one is always suspicious of the other things won't last long. A good relationship takes time, work and commitment. Time to truly get to know each other. Work at blending the two together and commitment to one another. A commitment that involves putting the intrests of the relationship ahead of your own. In a nutshell it takes a lot of hardwork but two people who are truly into one another can turn that into a love that lasts. And they lived happily ever after....

In my university's attempts to try to make new tech advancements it has failed in customer service. The irony is that this summer the university put in place serveral incitives to try to improve its customer service. The issue is "Online Registration". This year the institution decided to implement a way to add your student meal plan and book coupons online. A good plan in theory that turned out to be a disaster in reality. several students including myself were unable to eat from the dining hall on our first day of classesl because the university's online incitives did not work. We were then asked to go to the business office and register the old way by standing in lines. I personally hate lines and feel that my university has failed in terms of customer service when more than half the schools population is unable to eat or buy books. The lesson here always think of your customers first and always have a back up plan in place. Students will never be prepared for the "real world" when the immediate adults around are ill prepared and treat them like second class citizens.

So it appears to me that no matter how old a woman gets, she will always encounter sexist double standard thinking from men. Equally men of any age often feel that their thoughts and actions will always be superior to a woman's, no matter her age. In any and every arena be that love and relationships, business, sports or education. Women are often the unsung heroes that go through much more than men. Our struggles are often what make us the stronger party. While men often use their " God given right" to take the lead over women it is not a blessing to play with. Women have just as much, even more sensablity than men and it's about time we take back our power. After all we as women are bearers of life. If it wasn't for us the human race could not continue. Yet men still take our presence, existence and craving for equality lightly. I myself as a conscious Queen, refuse to allow a man to control me, rule me or treat me as if I am not smarter than he. I encourage all my fellow sisters to stand up for themselves and show some self respect,self pride and self awareness. Women are the rock of the world and it's about time we speak up and take back what is rightfully ours. This is not about male bashing. This is about truth and equality for all.
