Actions Speak Louder Than Words

"Tell 'em boy bye"

Actions Speak Louder Than Words

A lot of men are probably guilty of this at some point in their lives when their actions always speak louder than their words--you know who you are. It's a guilty thing guys do to keep their girls wrapped around their finger, and all of us "girls" have fallen for it at some point. Girls may do it by saying a white lie to impress guys; I admit that I've done it. But why do we do it?

It's a guilty verbal pleasure they have on us girls; they feel as if they have more control if they tell us what we want to hear. But we've got news for you boys: we are not stupid.

We start to figure it out as time passes and you tell us you're going to do something--whether it be a trip or a special date--and you guys end up ditching because you are scared of commitment and 'oh my god' someone actually caring about you and wanting to spend time with you--how dreadful.

Sometimes I think they mean what they say but they are too scared to appreciate, too scared of having commitment because they want to be free. But the real fact of the matter is that we, as women, have to see that and "tell 'em boy bye." If he is not hanging, he is not staying.

Always go with your gut, ladies. You should never have to ask a man to show his appreciation for you or show that he cares; and if you do, run girl run! I'm telling you, don't stay and think that things are going to change, because they aren't, and you deserve better for yourself.

In the end, we all figure out our wants and our needs, and if there's no show and just words, you better know to flip that page and go on with the next chapter in life. You deserve so much more than that.

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.

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.
