Ladies, This Is The DM He'll ALWAYS Respond To

Almost everyone has a social media profile of some kind, and mixing those platforms with a little bit of online dating can be challenging to say the least. Figuring out the right thing to say that grabs their attention and encourages a response can be tricky and intimidating for anyone.

This is especially true for girls, who are statistically less likely to send the first message.

Since starting college, Tinder has become my best friend. It's nice to get a little bit of male attention and be flirty just for fun, but like most girls on Tinder, I ran into a problem early on. I was getting dozens of matches in a swipe session, but only a handful of messages showed up the next day.

Why do guys match and not send a message? Most importantly, why was I waiting for him to message first?

I decided to take things into my own hands and shoot my shot ⁠— after all, I couldn't let these handsome guys just sit in my Rolodex. I tried out quirky pickup lines, simple and somewhat mysterious messages, and even a polite "hello, how's it going?" Regardless of the contents of my message, there was no consistency. The same message could get a response from one guy and give me radio silence from another.

That is until I sent "hey boy."

Almost immediately, I received response after response after response. I found the magic message that almost every guy would respond back to. This DM is something so absurdly easy, but it the perfect softball message to get a conversation rolling. It isn't dull and doesn't come off too eager, yet at the same time, it reads very casual and flirtatious — which is exactly what you want. Reading this, he's automatically intrigued.

So whether you're reaching out on a dating app or a classic social media platform, this message will get a response almost every single time. You can thank me later, ladies.

You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
