10 reasons why you might like that boy, but you absolutely don't NEED that boy....

1. He is still a boy

Honestly, we are still young, and these boys are not men yet. Girls mature faster than men, we all know this. Boys still want to play games and hookup with random girls every night. Focus on more important things, and let these little boys mature before giving them any of your valuable time and effort.

2. He doesn't see you as a priority

You should NEVER be treated like an option. You are FAR too valuable and beautiful to give your all to someone who only gives you attention when they are bored. I know for a fact that there are 20 other dudes "knocking at your door" who would treat you better.... don't stick around.

3. He hides you

Now I'm definitely not a fan of posting my whole relationship on social media for everyone to see, but it does feel nice to have him post about you every once and awhile... am I right ladies?? If he hides you, it's most likely because he's still entertaining other girls or he doesn't want his "boys" to know he actually likes you. DUMP HIM and his immature attitude.

4. He is interested in you for the WRONG reasons

Don't get me wrong, physical attraction is very important, but it shouldn't be the only reason why he's into you. He should be attracted to your mind, he should love the way laugh, he should be curious and interested in your interests, etc. If he only wants to hookup and never have a real conversation, why are you investing your time into him?

5. He is not ready to "settle down"

If he doesn't want to "put a title on it" or "make it official" yet, IT'S BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT A RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU. He wants to have you at his convince and then be able to leave you without any explanation when he gets bored with you. The thing is sweetheart... you are not someone who gets boring, you're AMAZING, don't let him do that to you.

6. He acts like he doesn't care about you

Honey... he isn't acting, he really could care less about you. If he doesn't want to spend time with you, or hear about your day, or learn about your family and friends, he doesn't care about you. And you don't need someone who doesn't care about you.

7. You are amazing on your own

You don't need a boy to complete you or to make you better. Sweetheart, you are one of a kind, there is no one exactly like you. That makes you rare and amazing. Having a guy doesn't prove that you are worthy. You are worth it before a boy enters your life and you are worth it after a boy leaves your life.

8. He doesn't have his priorities together

If he doesn't think doing well in school is important, trust me you don't need that boy. If he thinks it's cool to get wasted and high every night, you don't need that boy. If he rather go out to a bar than study for an important upcoming test, you don't need that by. You don't need that boy because, you don't want to hangout with someone who could influence you negatively and change your priorities.

9. Being independent is important

Nothing is permanent. That boy could say he loves you one day and leave you the next day. Never become so reliant on a boy that you forget how to be independent. Being independent proves that you can get things done on your own and you don't need a boy (or anyone in that matter) to be successful.

10. That boy NEEDS YOU more than you need him

When you think you need a boy, think about how much that boy probably needs you. Who else is going to remind him that he has something important scheduled that day. Who is going to help him study for exams, help him pick out a proper outfit for his interview, or motivate him to be the best he can be. You are valuable to him and if he acts like you're not, leave him and watch how lost he becomes without you.

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
