How to Fail at Getting the Girl

Tell me your deepest secret....

No? I have known you for less than a week. Let me repeat that, so you can perhaps think about it a little more. I have known you for less than a week. I have known my closest friends for years and my family has been around my entire pitiful life. Do you think they know my deepest secrets? No. They're my deepest darkest secrets for a reason; they stay hidden in the shadows locked behind a door, to which the key has been lost. Why the hell would I ever tell you anything like that?

Do you find me appealing...

Do you hear your own voice? I know, you wanted to be as blunt as possible, but for fuck's sake.... did you have to word it like that. What were you expecting me to answer? Of course, you fulfill my every desire and I think of you every night while I lay awake in bed. To answer your question, no. No, you are absolutely not appealing to me and this conversation is just making you less and less so.

You're a challenge and i want to crack you....

Stop.

Just stop embarrassing yourself and demeaning me.

It's one thing to think that I'm interesting. To think that there is more about me hiding under the surface and that you'd enjoy learning about it. In fact, someone told me "I think you're one of the most interesting people that I've talked to yet, can I get your number," and I gave them my number.

It's another thing to think that I'm a challenge. You may have had the best intentions, good for you, but goddamn it, you apparently can't think again about the words that come out of your mouth. Maybe I am a puzzle, but that doesn't mean that I'm meant to be solved or that I even want to solved in the first place. What type of girls do you normally talk to, that you can get away with this absolute bullshit.

Okay. Okay.

I probably sound like sound some raving feminazi or I'm probably overthinking it. I've been told, that I should be honored to have a boy obsess over me and call me gorgeous .... I should be honored... shouldn't I?

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.
