How To Play Hard To Get And Why You Shouldn't

I never understood the girls who waited exactly seven minutes to answer a text. I don't comprehend the girls who tell a date they're too busy meanwhile they're watching TV. I never understood why avoiding someone at a party or waiting them to approach you first was acceptable.

I don't play hard to get.

I'm not saying I'm easy or that I play into someone's hand, but I certainly don't make myself a task for some guy. I'm not ever going to avoid a "hey" for a half hour for whatever reason some girls have. If my phone is with me, I'll answer in the same minute without shame. If it isn't then I'm sorry, its gonna be awhile but as soon as I have my phone I'll be sending a text back. I'm the girl that will give you the time of day if you give me yours. I don't play games.

Playing hard to get just shows me that you're not mature enough to have a relationship. No honest person is pretending that they can't go to dinner. Since when is "being too available" a bad thing?

Since when is having free time you're wiling to share not okay? I'm okay with spending the night with someone and when they ask when they can see me next, saying the next night. If I'm free, I will make plans. I will not lie about being busy to make you want me more or some backwards logic.

Ladies, please tell me why you're scared to approach someone at the bar or party? If you see someone you want to talk to and they haven't noticed you yet, go over and say "hello!" I will not be the girl holding her phone and her drink in the corner texting her friends that "he" is here and "hasn't had the nerve to come over to me".

Personally, I think playing hard to get is way more effort than it's worth and being yourself will be the most desirable way to get romantic affection. So, get out there girls!

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
