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.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
