10 Ways To Tell You're Finally Out Of Your Frat Boy Phase
The Odyssey

Every college girl goes through it. I mean how could you not? The pastel shorts, and vineyard vines t-shirts. Seriously, what's more attractive than a boy who can shotgun a beer in under 10 seconds? Well, actually a lot of things.

It's almost like we're blinded by their supposed popularity, and completely obvious allergies to the word commitment that we all convince ourselves, we can change. Well, you can't, and sadly for the most of us, we have to learn that the hard way. However, once you've woken up from whatever hypnosis they had you under, that's when you have that thought, that every girl has had at least once in their life, "I seriously liked him? Hahahahahaha."

Here're a few signs that you have broken free from your frat boy phase.

1. When a guy says "Yeah I'm in *insert greek letters*," you just walk away.

Like yeah I could go through all of the guys I know that you might know, or I could just walk away and pretend I never met you... yeah that sounds like a better option.

2. You see something on TFM and instead of thinking, "Omg he's so cute," you think "oh no.. that could be my son one day"

Do you really want to date a guy that you wouldn't want your son to be like? Or you wouldn't want your daughter to date? I didn't think so.

3. Hearing "yeah I'm on exec," just reminds you that he will have absolutely no time for you ever.

Unless he's blowing off school, which is also not attractive.

4. He says "Yeah you're supposed to have a 2.7 GPA technically to be in my frat but they let me in with a 2.65 GPA," and you realize you could never introduce him to your mom.

"Hey mom this is Tom, he's on the verge of failing out but like.. he won class clown in his frat superlatives"

5. You realize how annoying it is when they want to communicate exclusively through snapchat.

Seriously though was there a frat convention where guys just decided texting was too mainstream or something?

6. You start to think more about where you see guys being in ten years when you meet them.

Yeah in ten years... you will be in some desk job still bragging about your glory days in college. I'll pass.

7. You actually notice how much of a turn off it is when a guy can roll a blunt faster than he can figure out the order of operations.

Oh, you're moving to Colorado one day and opening a dispensary huh? Yeah, you and every other teenage boy I've met. Next, please.

8. You finally get sick of always being put second to their "brothers"

You hate half of them and have talked about wanting to drop a thousand times, but heaven forbid I get a text from you before you rush to give one of them a ride to buy alcohol.

9. You notice how judgmental they get of anyone who is a little bit different, even though they're the most basic person ever.

Yes, I actually like that girls cat socks thank you very much, at least you can notice her in a crowd instead of getting lost in a sea of backward hats and event T-shirts.

10. You become smart enough to walk away before you get hurt.

Once you've hit that point when you can look at a boy and tell he's going to hurt you, and have the strength to walk away instead of creating excuses for him, this is your tell tale sign that you are out of your frat boy phase.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
