10 Things Girls Say VS What they Actually Mean

As a fellow female, I can vouch for all of us when I point out that not everything we say should be taken exactly as it was spoken. Confusing, I know. In our mind--most likely somewhere in between scheduling our work plan, answering texts, and making phone calls, what we think can be lost in the translation of what actually comes out of our mouths. Maybe its a blessing, maybe its a curse.

1. "It's whatever"

What it really means: no, actually its not whatever. Its nowhere near whatever. She's probably got a much more definitive answer strategically planned out in her head, but due to the circumstances she will try not to be too high maintenance and play it safe with just that statement.

2. "I'm not really that hungry"

What it really means: Ask me if I want food in another 10 minutes, and I will most likely say that I am very hungry.

3. "I'm dying"

What it really means: something she saw, did, or witnessed is actually really funny--to the point where she's laughed so hard she may actually die.

4. "RT"

What it really means: I agree

5. "Yeah, he seems really nice"

What it really means: she's not really sure if she's interested in him, however she am not opposed to being around him.

6. "Do you think he's cute?"

What it really means: she's not sure if she has a weird taste in men, or if the guy she's looking at is actually attractive. *or* she's intoxicated and can't seem to make that judgement without the support of her fellow intoxicated friends.

7. "fine"

What it really means: nothings fine. Apologize until she begins to tell you what is actually bothering her. AKA get ready for an argument.

8. "Do I look fat in this?"

What it really means: She hasn't hit the gym in weeks, and has had pizza more than three times this week, but still wants to look cute.

9. "I'll be ready in 2 minutes"

What it really means: Do you mind waiting another 30 minutes, I haven't even done my hair yet.

10. "I have nothing to wear"

What it really means: she hasn't done laundry in weeks, she's searched through her closet several times, and has still come up empty-handed. Meaning, she is going to need to borrow something from someone ASAP.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
