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?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
