When He Just Can't Find Anything

Things we, as women, love to hate.

When He Just Can't Find Anything
ThinkStock

Do you have someone in your life that can seriously NEVER find anything? They put something somewhere and constantly ask where it is when they go to get it again? And why do they feel the need to ask someone else where they put something? This is literally an everyday thing in my household.

I have been with my boyfriend for roughly three and a half years. We moved in together about six months after we started dating, and I noticed this almost immediately. He worked out-of-state for an oil field and was only home for a couple weeks, but it didn’t seem like that mattered. He was living on a boat in the Gulf of Mexico and would call me to ask where something was. I mean, seriously? I’m not even there! But needless to say, he must’ve known I was some sort of psychic. No matter what he lost, I would mention a clue, and there it was. Just like that. Call me crazy, but after knowing this man for many years, I seemed to know everything about him and his little quirks.

My boyfriend no longer works in the oil field and is home every evening. I don’t necessarily watch where he puts things, but it seems like they’re always in the same place as they were before. He asks many questions, such as, “Babe, where’s my keys?” “Babe, where’s my wallet?” “Babe, have you seen my watch?” “Have you seen my flannel?” or better yet, “Where is my snuff?” I can honestly say that I feel the need to chuckle at every instance. At first, I would just tell him where these items were because I had seen them lying somewhere. Sometimes, I would get up and get them for him myself. After all this time, I seemed to get a little smarter.

I do not drive your vehicle, I do not use your wallet, I do not wear your watch, I do not wear your clothes and I certainly do not use your snuff. So please, if you’re going to keep asking me where things are instead of looking for them or remembering where you last put them, then be prepared to play my game. Instead of telling you exactly where these items are, I am now going to give you subtle hints. Welcome to the game of "Can’t Find Sh*t!" [Insert evil laugh here.]

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

College is an endless cycle of crappy, sleepless nights, tedious, boring lectures, and hours of never-ending piles of homework.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
