If "Netflix and Chill" Were Honest

Are you really down for some hanky-panky?

If "Netflix and Chill" Were Honest

You don't want to go to the movies, because you're a broke college student. Plus, you've been eyeing your crush now for months. You've stalked him on Facebook, and you see he "liked" scary movies, documentaries and rom-coms. What do you do? Netflix and Chill.

So you send the text. "Netflix and Chill?" Translation: "Let's make out mid-way through the movie." The text sends at around 9 p.m., not too late like you're only texting him to hook up, but late enough to where he can insinuate your ulterior motives. Finally, after what feels like decades, your crush replies, "Sure. Your place?" You leap around your room in jubilee and immediately run into your roommate's room. Your roommate rolls her eyes once you tell her to hide in her room for the remainder of the night. The living space immediately becomes off limits to the roommates, and we all know why. So you finish getting ready since you've been getting ready for the past hour and a half, even though you were unsure if he would be able to make it. You pretend like you just so happened to throw on his favorite sport team's T-shirt (thanks, Instagram stalking) and that messy hair look only took a total of seven times to execute perfectly. Casual cute will always be the vibe for "Netflix and Chill."

Then, you get the most romantic text ever, "Here." "Here" looks even better, because he double texted you after you decided not to reply to "on the way." This is the best day ever. You open the door and butterflies begin to flutter. You don't know whether to kiss hello or hug hello so you take the safe route and hug. He asks what that weird smell is, and it's the burnt popcorn you made out of the kindness of your heart. You blush in embarrassment, but eventually brush it off and make your way to the couch. You offer an elaborate selection of movies from every genre to ensure your crush thinks you are the most well-rounded, movie-loving individual. You both agree on a scary movie, because that gives every excuse in the world to cuddle. The entire time you are snuggled up on the couch, you question whether or not he can read your body language to the point where you aren't even paying attention to the movie. Uh-oh. He grabs the blanket. Things are getting serious.


"Then, you get the most romantic text ever, "Here." "Here" looks even better, because he double texted you after you decided not to reply to "on the way.""


Midway through the movie, you look up at your crush and bat your perfectly curled eye lashes and drop the "I'm scared" bomb. Which is total bull sh*t; the only thing you're scared about is if he thinks you're a good kisser or not! He looks down at you, and you begin to pucker up, and just when you think he's about to kiss you, your stupid roommate walks into the kitchen to grab the leftover pizza. Way to ruin the mood. She goes back into her room and you realize this is your golden opportunity for attack. You give him the "let's do this" look, and then he leans down to kiss you. Score! Netflix strikes again.

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.
