It’s inevitable… It’s most likely going to happen. When you’re laying in bed, watching Netflix by yourself. Thinking to yourself, “man I really wish (insert ex’s name) was here.” Just to keep you company, just for some cuddles. In that moment you may think that it’s a good idea to text them and just let them know you’re thinking about them, or that you are missing them.

You just think what harm could a text do! NO! DON’T DO IT! I promise immediately after you hit that send button, you’re going to regret it and want to take it back.

Here are 11 things that you could do instead of text your ex.

1. Order some food, and have it delivered.

Pizza, dessert, pasta, a smoothie, whatever you want, get it!

2. Call one of your friends and invite them to binge watch with you.

A little company never hurt!

3. Cuddle up with your dog and take a nap.

Napping tunes out the world!

4. Get up, take a shower, get dressed and make some plans.

If nothing works out, you can at least get a few good selfies out of it.

5. Download a dating app, and just talk to people.

It won’t hurt I promise!

6. Plan out dinner for yourself, go to the store and get to cooking.

Go on Pinterest, find that recipe you’ve always wanted to try, and make it!

7. Watch a stand-up comedy on Netflix.

You could probably use a good laugh!

8. Get out a notebook and just start to write.

Any topic, just go wherever your mind takes you.

9. Make it a day of pampering

Go to the drugstore, buy a face mask, a hair mask, a bath bomb.

10. Go on an adventure by yourself.

Get in the car, with no destination in mind, and just go!

11. Turn off your phone!

Get away from all social media, texting, emails, phone calls. Just be, by yourself for a few hours.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
