What Girls Wish Guys Knew

Us girls are not that complicated.

What Girls Wish Guys Knew

1. As cliché as it sounds, girls just want guys to know that “nothing” means everything.

It’s not what we said, it’s HOW we said it. Clearly, if our voice sounds annoyed, we most likely are. Unless we have resting bitch voice- totally just made that up. If my fiancé asks me “What’s wrong?” and I answer “NUH-thing”, he more than likely did something that totally pissed me off- BEWARE Fiancé!

2. Is there anything on my butt?

For some reason, my guy still doesn’t fully understand why I ask him this. When I’m with my girlfriends, it’s like a no-brainer why I’m asking if there’s anything on my butt- it's that time of the month and I decided to wear tight pants. He get’s super annoyed when I’ve asked him 4 times already, but I have no choice, so he has to deal with it.. right?

3. Must be that time.

Speaking of that time of the month, IF a woman is mad, upset, or just in a bitchy mood, DO NOT assume it’s because aunt flow is visiting. I mean, by all means, be my guest and assume, but do yourself the favor and keep that assumption to yourself, because IF it is that time and you ask that question out loud, you’re going to need the Man up above .

4. Why are you putting makeup on?

*Rolls eyes* My biggest pet peeve is when I’m in the bathroom putting some concealer and mascara on and he just waltz’s in the bathroom to ask why I’m getting “all done up” to go somewhere as simple and as close as the supermarket. Honestly, oh love of mine, I think you’ve seen me more with concealer on, than without, because I don’t even like to look at my dark circles in the mirror. Not that I don’t applaud the woman who embrace themselves fully the way they are, I just like to look less tired than a new mother of a 2 and a half-month-old normally looks. PLUS, this isn’t even makeup boo boo kitty, so don’t test me, because I will pull out my eye shadow pallet, highlighter, winged liner, and Kylie lipkit- don’t test me.

5. You can’t wear that…

I REALLY wish guys knew that when they are dating someone, that they are their partner, NOT their father. I’m sorry, but you cannot tell a woman that she isn’t allowed to wear a certain article of clothing because you think it’s “too revealing”, because of your own insecurities. A woman is entitled to express herself in any way, shape, or form, and if she decides she wants to show a little skin, it’s her body, her life and her decision to do so. Take a seat, please.

6. Stop “sliding in my DM’s”.

I get it, it’s 2016, social media has taken over the world- but if you insist on trying to get the attention of a woman you’re interested in through messaging her on every social media platform, she’s just going to assume you do that with everyone else. No one wants to invest any time or effort into a person that’s jumping from DM to DM. I wish guys would just understand that girls appreciate a personal conversation, rather than talking to each other and getting to know one another through the internet.

These are just the very few examples I could muster up, but I am 100% positive that there are many more examples other girls could come up with. The struggle for women is so real, but we really don't ask for much- just don't do or say something that's going to annoy us.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
