An Open Letter To The Confusing Boy

They think we're the confusing ones but they're wrong.

An Open Letter To The Confusing Boy

The overly confusing boy: every girl knows and probably hates one. You probably have someone in your head just based on the first sentence. He probably uses the phrase "I don't know" multiple times in just one conversation. He also probably makes you so confused that it makes you kind of mad. Although that might just be me, who knows.

Even though they irritate the heck out of us, we still choose to put up with them. At times our friends probably wish we wouldn't considering how crazy they drive us. "He should know what he wants with you," is something that I constantly hear from all of my friends. I totally see where they're coming from since I say the same thing to them, but let's face it, every girl has her confusing boy. The sad part is that sometimes he's just your friend. You have to go through all the confusion just for nothing to ever change. In my opinion, that is definitely the worst.

The funny thing is that guys generally see girls as the confusing one. Yet, every girl knows that it is the other way around. Guys hardly ever make it clear what they want and often end up leading us on because of it. No matter how confusing he may be, we continue to put up with it. Girl brains like to hope for something that may not even exist. If guys were upfront then this might not occur as much.

So to all the guys out there that are hopefully reading this, just stop. Being confusing will get you nowhere with a girl. Just be straight forward. Don't bother with mixed signals. Also, the whole treating us different depending on the day or who is around isn't cool. It just confuses us even more. We appreciate brutal honesty more than you think. If you don't want the same thing we do then yeah, it sucks but we will feel so much better finding that out instead of having false hope.

I bet most of you are sitting there saying that you're never confusing but that's about 75 percent false. Every guy has been confusing to some girl at some point in their life. It might not be on purpose. Side note, if it is then you're terrible. You probably don't even realize you're doing it but you are. You'd think we'd leave but let's face it, we kind of like how crazy you drive us. It just adds to how we feel about you. I want you to do something right now if this even possibly relates to you. Text her. Explain how you feel and what you want. Right this second. She will appreciate it. As for those girls getting the texts, I hope it all works out for you. If not, then maybe try to find a less confusing boy.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
