The Woman to English Translation Dictionary For Men
Chie Alemán

When you were in elementary school, you sat through English classes. You learned new words and learned that some words, though sometimes spelt the same, have VERY different meaning.

Unfortunately for you, they didn't teach you squat about girl talk.

Guys, here's a translation for you on some of our favorite phrases:

1. "I'm fine"

Means she's not fine.

This is the oldest one in the book. When we say "I'm fine," it doesn't mean we're fine, it means, "oh boy you better fix what just happened," or "come bring me chocolate ice cream and a hug... NOW."

2. "I guess..."

MEANS HELL NO.

"Want to go see Star Wars on our romantic date tonight? Can you drive?" "I guess..." HELL NO.

3. "K"

Means you're in huge trouble.

When a girl responds with "K," she's not trying to be cute. She's not trying to be all mysterious and aloof. She's pissed.

4. "Yup"


reference entry #2 or 3

5. *Read Receipt* No response

Means holy cow she's probably thrown her phone at the wall by now.

This is the most dangerous of all responses, none at all. You know you've screwed up when there is nothing she has to say.

6. "Leave me alone"

Means if you bring her food and tell her she's pretty you'll earn major boyfriend points.

7. "You pick"

Means.... YOU PICK.

When men gives women the option on where to go, what to do, where to eat, and they respond "you pick," they're not being cute... just pick.

8. "I mean, it's your choice"

Means "there's one option, so you have no choice."

9. "I don't feel too hot today"

Means one of two things: either she is actually physically ill, or she wants you to tell her she's pretty

10. "I don't want to talk about it"


Means that she wants to talk about it VERY BADLY.


Now unfortunately for you, this list doesn't cover everything. But these are the most commonly used phrases. Now you'll be prepared when you encounter one.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.
