A Beginners Guide To The "Late Night Text" As Shown By College Boys

The "Late Night Text" is a complex, yet extremely "romantic" method of communication for your typical college boys.

Urban Dictionary defines the term as "When a male in need of testosterone release contacts a girl via text or phone call after midnight for a casual yet erotic hookup," with the example "I'm tryna latenight Melina, but she ain't budgin'". If you're a girl reading this article, we've all been Melina at one point in our lives.

The "late night text" has affected us all. We've all received one... whether it be a classic "wya?" text, a barely English, drunk attempt of texting or a terrible pickup line at 3 a.m., boys are getting quite creative with these texts nowadays.

A few of my friends have graciously given me some of their most bizarre examples of this epidemic. After hours of sorting through tons of laughable screenshots, here are the late night texts that describe it best:

Well, this is how its done boys. The guy who invites you over shortly after he sends a pledge to come get his clothes back from your room. That's romance if I've ever seen it.

Oh, you're probably so lonely after your dog died. It seems like you two were so close!

The guy who uses the election to get you to come over. Nicholas Sparks, I sense a new romance novel inspired by this one.

And just when you thought it couldn't get any weirder, it does. You, my friend, really know how to smooth talk a girl.

We all love a guy that refers to women as meat. Or sex as "boning" for that matter. How long could the line really be?

Dear whoever wrote this sad, unfortunate message... I think any girl can confidently say they would literally rather buy the entire Chipotle franchise than have sex with you after that response.

Well, at least this guy is honest. Maybe that was his strategy?

Well this guy took a creative spin on things... A for Effort! Dear Anonymous Boy who wrote this message, definitely consider changing your major to Art.


The guy who you thought just had a really good taste in music...



It seems like we have the next Einstein on our hands! If anyone is ever squished in the car for 2 hours and needs water, text this guy. He knows exactly what you need.

Oh, and the winner of the worst guy of them all goes to... this guy.

Through all the jokes and humor of these messages, I do have an obligation to comment on the sad truth of this last one. Do not let a boy, or anyone for that matter, ever tell you what to do with your body.

Some of these messages, however, belong in a hall of fame. Thank you to these boys for the entertainment, you have shown us all the true meaning of the "late night" text.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
