21 Things College Students Confuse For Romance

Amidst the sea of hookups, almost relationships, baes, and subtweets, it seems like romance is dead among college students today. While it seems that way, it probably isn't. There is just a major case of college students confusing things that aren't romantic in the slightest with romance. If he invites you to his friend's apartment party by direct messaging you on twitter, adds you on snapchat when you get there, and then doesn't talk to you the whole night, but sends "where'd you go?" fifteen minutes after you leave, he very well might be flirting with you, but he's doing it all wrong, and you shouldn't fall for it. You also shouldn't fall for:

1) Netflix and chill

2) Inviting you to their frat party/ sorority event

3) Leaving a party together

4) Texting you after midnight

5) Sitting next to you in class

6) Liking all of your tweets/Instagram posts

7) Making out at a party


8) When they're the first person to view your Snapchat story

9) Sliding into your DMs


10) Having a Snapchat streak with them

11) Dancing on each other

12) Following you on social media right after they meet you

13) Pressuring you to drink/smoke because you should do it with "someone trustworthy"

14) When they let you use their bathroom instead of the one everyone else has to use

15) When their roommate knows about you

16) When you know their roommates

17) Matching on tinder

18) Staying up all night studying for a test together

19) When they say "hi" to you on campus


20) Sitting next to each other at a sporting event

21) When they remember your name

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
