Young men often give flowers to young women when they are in love. This tradition may have come from
In the 1700s in
These baskets included a variety of “gifts”: flowers, stones, feathers, wax, and even charcoal. Each thing in the basket had a special meaning. By figuring out the secret message contained in each item, the person who received the basket began to understand little by little the true feeling of the person who sent it.
This idea of sending gifts of love with secret meanings quickly spread to
An innocent bunch of flowers told young ladies about the feeling in the hearts of young men. Each different flower held a different meaning. For example, the flowers from an orange tree meant, “You are beautiful and pure.” Pink carnations meant, “My love for you is strong and great.” Yellow roses, on the other hand, meant, “I saw you with someone else.”
Many flower dictionaries were made to help young people in love understand the meaning of the flowers they received. Not all of the dictionaries agreed, however, on the meaning of each flower, so a person had to be careful about the flowers they chose to send.
By the 1880s, using flowers to send messages had fallen out of fashion, and the more direct way of sending love letters began. Today, flowers are still considered a lovely gift, but the meaning for each kind of flower has been lost.

Getting a new apartment and roommate can mean inviting a stranger in to learn exactly what you look like in the morning before a shower, how you pay your bills, and which friends you have over. Although Craigslist can be a great place to find just about anything and everything you could want, unfortunately even looking for a roommate on Craigslist could lead to a very negative experience if one is not careful. Here are some tips for finding a roommate so you can share your apartment with less stress and more enjoyment.
*Be careful about having your best friend as a roommate – things always change when you live with someone.
* Consider posting or responding to an online roommate advertisement - it's the easiest way to interact with a lot of possible roommates.
*Search early - you want to pick a roommate who you want to live with, not settle for someone you aren't comfortable with because you ran out of time.
*Ask around - other than using online resources, word of mouth can help turn up new roommate prospects.
*Be clear about what you do and do not want - but also be open to someone different from you.
*Have fun with the process - you may end up meeting new people even when they DON'T become your roommate.
*Use your instincts(直觉) - if you don't feel comfortable with someone, DON'T live with them.
*Be organized - prepare a list of everything you want to know about how someone lives so you will know if they will be a compatible roommate. Establish an idea of your desired roommate. You should begin by figuring out any specifics about your roommate. Do you want only males or females? Is there a specific age or a range of ages you prefer? You should know what you are looking for before you begin to look.
