10 Things Guys Don't Understand About Girls in a Relationship

1. We aren't all stuck-up or needy.

We don't need expensive gifts to be happy; sometimes all we need is a hug. I mean, who am I to deny a nice gift every now and then? But it's not like we just expect it from you. I would much rather have quality time somewhere than to be wearing something flashy.

2. We don't need you to commit a lot of time or money to us; we just need you to commit to us.

If you're busy, we get it. You're in college. You work. You have a life outside of us. As long as you're open and honest with me about what you're doing, I couldn't care less. Now, with that being said, I would like to be more than just there girl you can sleep with at night, make time to go on adventures or watch Netflix. As long as you show that you do try to see us, that's enough.

3. If you think that we may like you more than you like us, tell us. Be up front and honest. It'll hurt our feelings now, but it will spare us some later.

Guys always assume that they're sparing us our feelings when they just lead us on and don't say anything if they feel like we got the wrong impression of them. NEWS FLASH: you're actually hurting us worse. I would rather be with an a$$hole knowing what I'm getting myself into than with an undercover a$$hole who just plans on using me while I think we are actually getting somewhere. Actually, I would rather just be with a nice guy, but nowadays it's hard to tell who they are.

4. We don't need to see and talk to you 24/7.

I don't care what you had for breakfast. I don't care what time you woke up. No one should talk to and see each other 24/7 to validate their relationship; that's just unhealthy. You need some mystery in your relationship, but if I ask you what you're doing, don't be shady. JUST TELL ME WHAT YOU'RE DOING.

5. If we don't get all dolled up to see you, it's not because we don't care, it's just because we feel comfortable around you.

Sometime we just want to lounge around in sweats and no make-up and since you should love us regardless, you should be the last person to judge us based on appearance.

6. You can have girl friends.

I like to know your friends and how they are around you, but other than that, I don't really care who you hang out with. If you're hanging out with an ex or something like that, just make sure to tell us. It still will be an uncomfortable situation for most girls, but it is better to tell us than to just let us find out. Clearly you're with me and not the 1.5 billion other girls for a reason. You picked me. If you want another girl, that's your problem not mine -- I'm freakin' awesome.

7. We don't care if you watch porn.

Sometimes we just won't be able to suit your needs, and if Alexis Texas can, go for it. It's not like she's coming through the computer screen.

8. If we don't want to talk to you, it's not personal. Sometimes we just need to be alone or with our girlfriends.

After an argument, if I say leave me alone, LEAVE ME ALONE. Most of the time I don't want to talk because I'll end up saying something without thinking and will later regret it.

9. If we say we're fine, sometimes we actually are fine!

Sometime there's no hidden meaning behind it. Hence the word sometimes. Girls are sometimes confusing, I'm sorry.

10. The thought is really what matters.

As long as you put in some type of effort to show us you care about us, that's all we want. Forehead kisses, picnics, flowers and other small surprises go a lot further than you think they do.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
