I'm not going to wait 10 minutes before I answer your text.

An Open Letter to the Boys of My Generation

I'm not going to leave you on open for a few minutes before I respond to your snap.

I'm not going to wait 10 minutes before I answer your text.

I'm not going to agree to Netflix and Chill.

I'm not going to build walls around my heart so that you can't come in.

I'm not going to talk to you while I have 10 other guys on the line.

I'm not going to hide you from my parents.

I'm not going to ghost you.

I'm not going to plaster you on my social media.

I'm not going to stay distant so that I can make a clean break without a broken heart.

I'm not a fan of whatever "talking" is.

I'm not going to play all those games.

I'm going to love hard. I'm going to love recklessly with a ground-breaking love. I'm not afraid of a broken heart. I know how to pick up the pieces. I want to love so hard that it could rip my heart. Because when it comes down to the end of my life, I don't want to say, "I should have loved and let myself be loved." Because when I go I want to leave this life shattered. Not one part of it untouched.

I'm going to commit to you. There is no one else. I don't have a second choice, a plan B or C or D. It's you or no one.

But you know what else I'm not going to do?

I'm not going to sit around and be your second choice.

I know my worth. I know who I am. That doesn't make me cocky. That makes me independent and secure in myself.

So, go have fun with the girls that will play your games and when you decide you want "wifey material" come back around to let me decide if you'll make the cut for husband material.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
