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

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!
