5 Signs You Are The Absolute Worst Person To Text

I've always been the type of person who prefers to text or email over phone calls or in-person conversation. Maybe it's my natural inclination to be introverted, or my unfortunate degree of social anxiety. Nonetheless, despite my preference of texting to vocal conversation, I am honestly the worst person to text, like ever.

And, trust me, I'm completely aware of it. I will forget to answer someone's text for hours, days, even weeks at a time. I'll forget to the point where responding two weeks later is just pointless.

And when I do remember to text back, my messages are so sporadic and all over the place that my conversations are just tiring for all parties involved.

1. You say "I'll answer that in a minute" when a notification pops up, but hours (or even days) pass and you have yet to answer the message.


I do this so often that it's borderline rude. Sometimes I don't even notice the notification because I get distracted so easily.

2. You interrupt a group chat's conversation to talk about something completely unrelated that only really concerns you personally.


My friends and I do this so often in our group-chat that we've begun to announce when we are doing it to avoid the inconvenience that it causes.

3. Instead of sending one, concise message - you send multiple short texts that ultimately tell a story, but in a really annoying fashion.


This might just be a style of conversation, but I send probably 15 short, fragmented texts rather than one cohesive message just to tell a story about the coffee I made.

4. You ignore phone calls, even watching it ring, only to text "what's up?" after the call ends.

4. You type out a long, deep message, only to delete it and send something lame like "omg" instead.

This happens when my friends and I are engaged in deep, emotional conversations and I type out a long, sensitive message that is honestly just me oversharing. So after forcing everyone to stare at that thought bubble for 10 minutes, I end up responding with an emoji or something useless.

So, are you the worst person to text or are you an absolutely normal, polite, and entertaining person to hold a conversation with? Let's talk about it, but I probably won't get back to you for another week, at least.

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.
