As a female, it is hard for me to deny that at times we can blow things out of proportion. This is especially true when it comes to interactions with the male species. But as I am realizing these patterns I felt that it was important to keep girls aware of their behavior.

Arriving in college I figured that both genders would become more mature but I quickly found that this was not the case.

1. Instagram

Instagram is a social media outlet, not a place to make wedding arrangements. I am guilty of being genuinely hurt by someone not following me back on Instagram. That guy you have been working up the courage to request is truly not going to matter by next week I promise. Furthermore, in terms of likes on a picture, I am about to say something that you may disagree with me on. Instagram likes are just two taps on a screen you and that guy are not engaged; try messaging him!

2. Hang out with other girls.

As much of a crime as it might seem to be; guys have friends that are girls. Contrary to popular belief, often the two are not even thinking about becoming romantically involved. So, before you attack your significant other for simply talking to other girls try speaking to him about how it bothers you.

3. Say the first thing that they think of.

In case you haven't already noticed guys rarely think before they speak (no offense male species). So, crying over something that guy said to you in October of 2015 is not worth it. However, when he is adamant about something, he most likely means it.

4. Act flirty.

Recently I have noticed that girls take almost everything as flirting. A simple wave from across the room means more to females than a male will ever know. But, I have also come to realize that some guys are just naturally flirty. Every move that these boys make can seem like more than it is. But, I am here to tell you that sometimes when a guy says hello it is just a greeting.

5. Randomly cut ties.

When a boy stops talking to a girl, it is something that will remain on her mind. But, sometimes there is no meaning. In most cases, the guy could be busy or distracted by other things and it is totally unintentional. Sometimes we need to just realize that not everything revolves around us.

Now, before I end this article I would like to let everyone know that I am far from the guy expert. In fact, I have been single for about a year and a half now. But, everything in this article is brought to you by the opinions of my closest male friends. For all the ladies reading the article; the point is fries before guys.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
