A Response to TFM's 50 Ways To Be The Perfect College Girlfriend
Total Frat Move

As some of you may have seen, Total Frat Move posted an article three years ago on how to be the perfect college girlfriend.

Though it may have originated as a joke, everyone knows that every joke has a small amount of truth to it right? I could honestly care less why this piece was written, but it’s utterly disgusting. I skipped over the ones I don’t entirely disagree with/have a response to. Here's what I have to say about it.


1. "Be younger than us.”

Cause scientifically women mature faster than men, that’s the only kind of girl you’ll get to date your sorry a$$.

2. "Enjoy whiskey.”

I don’t think you care how we get drunk, as long as you can take advantage of it.

3. "Be able to shotgun a beer at a reasonable pace.”

Beer is gross, so no thank you.

4. "Handle your alcohol.”

You can complain that we are lightweights, but when you’re trying to get laid, you seem not to mind.

5. "Don’t be an emotional drunk.”

We’re emotional always, get used to it.

6. "There’s nothing less sexy than insecurity. Except maybe love handles.”

My love handles are exactly that, mine. And I wouldn’t be insecure if you didn’t make remarks like No. 43.

7. "Make us work for it. But only a little bit.”

We don’t make you work for it because you enjoy the chase, we make you work for it because we hope by then you’re a decent human being who deserves what you’re about to get.

“8. Be nice to our pledges…just not TOO nice.”

You can’t have your cake and eat it too.

“9. Hook our friends up with your friends.”

I am not anyone’s matchmaker, they’re big boys they can get a date themselves.

“10. Understand the rules of football.”

Why?

“12. Be someone we’d want to hang out with sober.”

Don’t hit on me when I’m drunk and you’d know who I am sober.

“13. Don’t have annoying friends.”

They’re MY friends, and if you find them annoying, you probably find me annoying.

“14. You don’t have to like beer, but at least tolerate it.”

What does this have to do with our relationship?

“15. Have an attractive mother. Trust me, it’s important.”

So you can call her a MILF? No thanks.

“16. Don’t rush the initial “girlfriend” talk.”

Don’t act like I’m a casual hook-up and I won’t?

“17. Have a fake ID.”

So I can get drunk for your benefit? Or so you don’t have to be bothered?

“19. Bake us something from scratch.”

Because all I’m good for is cooking and cleaning right?

“20. Don’t look like you just rolled out of bed in class.”

But I thought that’s when we look the best? That’s the line we always hear anyways.

“21. Help us study (read: sell us your or your friends’ adderall).”

Or maybe use a book.

“22. Nurse us back to health on Sunday mornings.”

But as you state #35, we’re not your mother.

“23. Don’t go through our phones. We might not have anything to hide but we still fucking hate it.”

Don’t give us a reason to.

“24. If you choose to wear heels, don’t complain to us when they’re uncomfortable.”

We want to look good for not only you, but for ourselves too. If heels make my legs look better, so be it.

“27. Never ask us to watch “Magic Mike” with you. It isn’t going to happen.”

Stop asking me to watch football then.

“28. Eventually we’re going to ask you for a threesome. Either accept or divert our attention with a blowjob. No tantrum necessary.”

Or you could respect for our decisions?

“29. Before you do anything, ask yourself ‘Would a psychopath do this?’”

Before you do anything, as yourself if it’d upset your girlfriend.

“31. Warn us if you’ve hooked up with one of our fraternity brothers.”

It’s none of your business, and I’m sure they’d have told you anyways.

“32. Don’t expect us to take you on 8 dates a week.”

I’d settle for one if you’d do ever that.

“34. Keep your downstairs tidy.”

Because my body was made to please you?

“35. Remember that you’re our girlfriend, not our mother.”

Only when its convenient for you, once you want lunch packed and food on the table, then its okay for me to be your mom.

“37. Unless we bring her up, don’t talk about our ex-girlfriend.”

We expect likewise.

“40. Lie about how many people you’ve had sex with.”

Um honesty is a key component to any relationship. Why should we be okay with your number (#39 but I skipped it) but then lie about ours?

“42. We hate condoms, and everyone hates abortions. You’re a grown up now, it’s time to get on the pill.”

I don’t care if you hate condoms, for one the pill isn’t 100% effective, but why should preventing pregnancy be only my responsibility? You’re having the sex too.

“43. Look good naked.”

My body is just that, MY body. I'll have it look the way I please.

“44. Realize #43 applies to the entire relationship, not just the beginning.”

Refer to #43

“46. Morning blowjobs.” – “49. Did I mention blowjobs?”

Just no. I don’t live to please you.

“50. Be spontaneous. Refer to #46-49 for ideas.”

Grow up.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Everyone, and I mean everyone has heard of the show "One Tree Hill". Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
