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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
