7 Things Guys Need To Stop Doing Right Now

Just a friendly PSA letting all of you guys know that what you think is "cool," probably isn't.

7 Things Guys Need To Stop Doing Right Now

Don't get me wrong, there are some wonderful, respectful, upstanding guys out there. Unfortunately, there are also the ones that are not. I am going to keep this short and sweet, but excuse me for the rant I am about to go on. I just wanted to give a little PSA to college guys, grown men, or any other guys that need to hear it. Here are just a few things that I strongly encourage you discontinue:


1. Grabbing girls butts.

So remember in elementary school when your teachers told you to "keep your hands to yourself"? THAT STILL APPLIES. I do not care if we are wearing yoga pants, booty shorts, or assless chaps... None of it is an invitation to grab our butts. No matter what. In any circumstance. The ONLY situation that this is okay is if you are in a relationship. What girlfriend doesn't like a quick booty grab by their boyfriend at the bar when you're looking good ya know? But other than that, NO NO.



2. Making fun of girls for taking pictures.

We are girls and we like to capture memories, so please stop mocking us by sticking your butt out and obnoxiously smiling. We do not look like that. We never will look like that. Your imitation skills are subpar so just let us take thousands of pictures like we were born to do.


3. Commenting on Facebook friendships.

You're so right, Amber became friends with Jack on Facebook so that OBVIOUSLY means they are going to hook up and we should comment all over it to let them know we know because I totally forgot that we are still in high school.



4. Catcalling

DEAR LORD CAN YOU NOT?! Calling us "baby" or "sweetheart" or "sweet thang" as we are crossing the street does not make us want to talk to you. Like ever. We have real names and if you want our attention, how about you compliment our shoes or something. We will SWOON if you notice our cute shoes.



5. Attacking us from behind on the dance floor.

LISTEN TO ME: Nothing is worse than when we are on the dance floor with our friends and a guy all of a sudden grabs us from behind and expects us continue dancing. We are in our '20s dude....aren't we over the whole grinding stage? The worst is when a group of guys just stand on the side and assess the babe pool and plan their attack like a pack of freaking lions. It is CREEPY. Please ASK us if we would like to dance, or you will be left at the altar....sorry I mean dance floor, but the embarrassment is relatively equivalent.



6. Taking selfies

I am very sorry to be the one to break it to you, but your mirror pic showing off your abs is not attractive. It makes you look very conceited and most girls do not find that as an admirable trait. Pictures of you with your mom? SWOON MAN SWOON. Mirror selfie of your rock hard abs? Ehhhh.


7.Teasing other guys for being a good boyfriend.

So since when was it uncool for guys to appreciate their girlfriend??? The picture they posted of their beautiful girlfriend is cute. God bless them for going to the pumpkin patch and doing basic girl things. That doesn't make them weak or lame or any other names you want to tease them with, it just makes them a good guy who has a great relationship and there is nothing wrong with that.



Consider this a message from the entire girl population. End of rant.

And don't worry gentleman, I will be following up with an article of what girls should stop doing as well ;)


Thank you for listening and have a wonderful day :)

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
