Why People Who Text Like This Are The Worst

Text message may be the most common way to communicate, but not the most useful.

We are all young, and the most useful way to communicate with somebody is usually through text message. Now with that being said, just because that is the most common way that does not mean, it is the most effective way.

One thing I hate is when people dry text you. To dry text somebody is to send one-word text messages, very lifeless text with no enthusiasm. Most of the time people do this when they are angry with me.

If one sender says something questionable then all of a sudden the receiver starts to get dry, 9/10 I just pissed them off.

Another thing I hate is when someone texts me first, then I reply of course, and they don't reply anymore. What was the reason for you texting me first? Or when someone texts me, and then I reply and they don't reply for hours or days and try to continue that same conversation.

The best one is if they don't reply but I see them on Snapchat posting a picture that says "bored hml," (hml= hit my line). That really pisses me off, as if they didn't know we had each other on Snapchat.

Also if you are an iPhone user PLEASE TURN YOUR READ ON!!! I need to know if you saw my message or are you just ignoring me. Usually, I find out of you are ignoring me because I am a trained FBI detective when it comes to these things, but dang at least allow me to see the read receipt so I can know if I said something wrong.

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.
