16 Things You Can Do Instead Of Worrying About A Boy

In This Article:

Boys in college are typically more interested in having fun rather than settling down. While I'm the type of girl who is looking for a long-lasting love, every boy that I find seem to want more of a fling. But you know what, if you're like me and you feel like you're worried about finding a worthwhile boy, here is a list of things you can focus your energy on instead of boys.

1. Go on a bike ride.

Giphy

Literally biking is SO FUN!

2. Get lunch with friends.

Giphy

Call up some of your best friends and spend the afternoon together! Take cute pictures while you're all dressed up and the sun is shining so you can post them and he can eat his heart out, you're welcome.

3. Spend time with your sisters.

Giphy

Your sisters are there to support and love you! Go spend some time with them!

4. Exercise.

Giphy

Exercising doesn't just tone up your body, it also cleanses your mind and gives you a more positive mood change! Exercising is so good for you in so many ways!

5. Join a club.

Giphy

Getting involved is a great way to maximize your time and an amazing opportunity to make new friends! I have gotten myself involved in Student Government, Greek Life, and so many more organizations and I have never looked back!

6. Write.

Giphy

I've always found writing out how I'm feeling or what I am thinking about to be very therapeutic!

7. Read a book.

Giphy

BOOKS ROCK!!! HUFFLEPUFF FOREVER!!!

8. Pet a dog.

Giphy

A dog will love you just for being you! Dogs show you what true love really feels like by getting excited when they meet you and giving you little kisses when you're near them. Dogs are honestly sooooo much better than boys. #DogMom4Life

9. Start binge-watching a new show.

Giphy

One time I got ghosted by this guy I really liked and to help ease the pain and get my mind off of him, I binge watched How I Met Your Mother and now it's my favorite show!

10. Eat chicken nuggets.

Giphy

Chicken nuggets don't care if you aren't wearing makeup while you're with them and chicken nuggets will give you that warm feeling inside that a man won't.

11. Do some karaoke.

Giphy

There's nothing like getting your emotions out like singing Carrie Underwood at the top of your lungs!

12. Go shopping.

Giphy

Retail therapy always helps! ;)

13. Change your hair.

Giphy

Getting a haircut or a color change makes you feel like a new person and can really boost your self esteem!

14. Get a job.

Giphy

This probably sounds like the least fun thing to do on this list but actually I think it's a good way to pass the time. No phone, making new friends, and you're getting paid for it!

15. Watch a romcom.

Giphy

Dirty Dancing and How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days have always been my go-to movies.

16. Treat yo self to a night out.

Giphy

I always enjoy getting all dolled up to go to a fancy restaurant, so take yourself out on a nice date! It's a great way of showing appreciation and love for yourself rather than relying on someone else to do that for you.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

11 Moments Every College Freshman Has Experienced

Because we made it, and because high school seniors deserve to know what they're getting themselves into

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Here are some helpful reminders about life in college.

10. "I wonder if I could sneak a beer in here."

11. "I just really want chocolate chip cookies."

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.
