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.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
