To The Girl Who Needs A Wake-Up Call, B*tch, He’s SO Not Into You

Based on the experiences too many friends have told me over the past year, here's a letter to the girls who need it.

To The Girl Who Needs A Wake-Up Call, B*tch, He’s SO Not Into You

I know you don't want to believe it right now, but, girl, you need to listen.

I know you think he's charming and handsome, and clearly, he has good taste because he's going after you. He says all the right things; he makes you blush furiously and with just a few words he makes you feel like the only girl in the room. I know it's appealing, who wouldn't think so? Maybe you're getting close. Maybe you feel like this flirtatious back and forth you have going on with one another is actually going somewhere. You know his favorite color and his favorite drink when he goes out, you know the video games he likes and the music he listens to when he's chilling in his room.

At some point or another, he became your go to; when you're drunk crying after a night out with the girls, when you need a good laugh, or when you just can't sleep. He's always the one you're thinking of.

I just have to ask: are you his go to?

Are you sure?

Don't pretend you don't see him eyeing other girls when you and the gang go out together. Don't act like it doesn't tear you up inside when you realize he's wandered off with someone, someone that's definitely not you. Stop justifying him leaving you on read time and time again, even when you know he's not busy.

Does he bail on plans often? Does he make up some lame excuse every time just to repeat it again? Does he call you up to talk about anything of substance or because he misses your voice? Or are his phone calls only reserved for when he wants you over at his place?

And I get it, maybe he's not a bad guy! Maybe he's been a good friend when you really need him and you want to see where things go. Maybe he just can't make up his mind on what he wants- but do you really want to be stuck in the middle of someone else's indecisive tendencies?

I bet he doesn't know your favorite color or what your favorite drink is. I bet he's never asked to hear the music you listen to when you're alone or called to make sure you got back to your place alright. I bet when you raise the question of what exactly you two are he gets flustered, heated, and he makes you feel shitty.

Girl, if you have to ask what exactly y'all are doing, he's so not into you.

If he was into you he'd make his intentions known. He'd try to get to know you better and actually retain the information. He'd make you feel wanted and give you his attention whenever and freely, not just when you two are alone. He'd take you on a date, he'd make legitimate plans, he'd do something more set in stone than an "I'll see you when I see you."

You're so caught up in the idea of him, of the guy you think he is. You don't see how it's consuming you, how it's making you feel awful more than he's made you feel good. You've been crying over a guy that's probably been making some other girls feel exactly the same way.

He's only into you when it's convenient for him, not when it matters most.

Here's a wake-up call: I think it's time you leave him alone.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

Water signs are are emotional, intuitive, and mysterious. Fire signs tend to be passionate, creative, and adventurous. Earth signs are conservative, realistic, and loyal.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.
