Most of the guys we meet end up being the complete opposite of what we expected. They're sweet in the beginning, and then they stop trying. The show, "New Girl" will take you through all 15 things that most guys do that we need to put an end to.

1. Grabbing onto girls as they walk by:

Unless I openly give you consent to grab my body as I pass by you, learn your place and never put your hand on a woman without asking for permission. Point blank.

2. Insult/putdown others in a "joking" matter:

Everyone has their insecurities and flaws that no one should point out. But, unfortunately, most of us have met those guys that believe it's okay to do so if it is a "joke." It's not.

3. Hating on cats/dogs/pets:

As a cat owner, I understand that some people prefer dogs, however, hearing a guy that I'm potentially interested in talk down about my cat is a major turn off. Check yourself.

4. Sending that "what you doing? ;)" text in the middle of the night:

Not quite sure why most mens' confidence boosts in the middle of the night, which leads to these iconic messages. This needs to stop! No one is going to get out of bed at two a.m. for you!

5. Using the worst pickup lines:

I will admit, some pickup lines could be funny and lead to a conversation. However, other cheesy line are just gross. For everyone's sake, just use a simple "hello."

6. Badmouth other men that do not enjoy beer:

If someone (especially other men) do not want to "enjoy" a cold beer with you, do not make them feel like they are less than you because they do not like the taste of your pee water!

7. Trying to convince girls in relationships to cheat:

I have heard many stories of men reaching out to girls via social media telling to cheat on them (even if they already claimed in a committed relationship). Seriously, guys? No beuno!

8. Clueless about their career path:

It is not attractive when a guy does not know what he wants to do with his future. Figure out your life and then give me a call! I am not here to mom you!

9. Refusing to do the "dating thing" in college:

Most guys have this attitude, but if two people like each other, than be together. Stop being scared of the word "couple" or "relationship." You are grown men in your 20's. Act like it.

10. Barely putting in effort to be friends with your girlfriend's friends:

The majority of women put in the effort to befriend the boyfriend's friends. And, yet, it doesn't seem to be expected from the boyfriend? If I'm putting in the effort, so should you.

11. Water down their feelings for others:

Quick tip: if you pretend to not be interested or care, than I'm going to leave and move on. Acting like you aren't into me, doesn't make me want you more. I'll just drop you.

12. Using their phones while you're talking:

Okay, maybe my long stories about my fights with my girlfriends aren't that exciting, but at least pretend to be listening! That's just rude!

13. Still act like children:

If you're a grown man, living on his own, and in his 20's, you should no longer have the same personality that you had when you were in middle school. And, yes, I can tell it's the same.

14. Act like the world revolves around them:

It's a common theme that men expect women to drop everything they are doing for them. Excuse me? I have a life and responsibilities too! And I'm sure you wouldn't do that for us.

15. Not knowing how to speak to women in general:

To my male readers: try to fix the majority of the above points that I have just listed for you, and then, maybe, we can have a real conversation.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer.
