When it comes to girls.

15 Do's and Don'ts for Guys

1. If you are interested…

DO: Smile and say “hi” to us as you walk by.

It leaves the girl thinking about you and only you for the rest of the next class.

DON’T: Like our newest Instagram pic or snapchat us and think that that is enough.

You have to put yourself out there.

2. If you want to get to know us…

DO: Make it known, whether it be by you flat out telling us or making it obvious in front of both of our friends.

Honesty is the best policy.

DON’T: Play hard to get, treat us poorly, or whatever it is you guys do that confuses us girls, to make us “want you.”

It makes us go crazy.

3. If you want to hangout with us…

DO: Actually take us out somewhere. Find out things we like to do or show us one of your favorite places to be.

Always be occupied with plans when you go out so there's no quiet or potentially awkward moments.

DON’T: “Hangout” at our or your place.

That is what every guy has done before… the more effort you show into us, the more interested you will make us.

4. If you are “ballin’ on a budget”…

DO: Pick us up and go to get something inexpensive, such as, coffee, then take us for a walk or get Chipotle and take us to a nice place outside to eat it.

Be creative and YOU make the plans ahead of time and tell us… thats bonus points in my book.

DON’T: “Netflix & Chill”

Which, by the way, ONLY means Netflix and Chill.

5. If you want to compliment her…

DO: Tell us how we look (in an appropriate manner)… because odds are, we took 2 hours to get ready to see you.

Also, try using words such as “beautiful, pretty, and nice”.

DON’T: Say we have a “nice butt”

Try avoiding words such as; “hot” and “sexy”.

6. If you want to make a move…

DO: Hold our hand or gently hold us by our waist or back. A strong hug always does the trick.

Show that we are yours.

DON’T: Grab our butt, or kiss anything but our lips. *Not gonna lie though, I would love for a guy to kiss me on the cheek*

Don’t insinuate anything sexual.

7. If you want to go out again…

DO: Make it known that you had a great time, and say “I would like to do this again”.

It reassures us that you had a good time and are interested.

DON’T: Wait a few days to text us. And don’t leave us confused and not knowing if you had a good time or not.

And it makes us think that you just come and go as you please.

8. If you are not interested in going out again…

DO: Be nice when you tell us.

ALWAYS tell us!

DON’T:Leave us hanging/be a jerk about it.

NEVER offer up friends with benefits!

9. If you want to text…

DO:TEXT!

It shows initiative and gives us the reassurance that you are interested. We always think that they are bothering you guys.

DON’T:Make us wait.

Surprisingly enough…making us wait makes us clingier than if you just talk to us.

10. If you want to date her…

DO:Other than asking us in a sweet, hopeless romantic sorta way.

Maybe where our first date was or where you realized that you knew we were something special— Treat us right!! —we deserve it.

DON’T:Just change your status on Facebook without making it official first.

Don’t lose sight of what you have.

11. If you want to make it last..

DO: Be honest, compassionate, and open throughout the relationship.

Treat others how you want to be treated.

DON’T: Lie

You have no reason to.

12. If there is a problem…

DO: Tell us what is bothering you

It feels better to let everything out.

DON’T: Hold it in.

That only leads to fighting and getting annoyed with one another.

13. If you want something…

DO: Just ask.

If you have plans with your friends, and we want to do something that night… just tell us, we will understand.

DON’T: Agree to make plans with both your friends and girlfriend then blow us off… you are asking for a fight.

Just save yourself from a trip to the florist by telling us you are busy.

14: If we are upset…

DO: Show that you care (even if you might not particularly care that your girlfriends bff Jenna was talking sh*t behind Megan’s back to her)

Call us and ask us what we should do or ask what you can do to make us feel better.

DON’T: Show that you don't care.

We always need someone we can talk to about anything that wont go back to anyone.

15. If you did something wrong

DO: Own up to what you did, say “I am sorry for doing _____.” or “I did not meant to upset you when I said ______.”

Being specific shows us that you are sincere and that you understand why it hurt us the way it did.

DON’T: Lie! (we always find out the truth..we are crazy like that) and don't turn it around on us.

We respect you more and are more likely to forgive you when you own up to your mistakes.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
