5 Things You Should Never Text A Guy
Brigham Young University

As girls, we're guilty for over analyzing anything that comes our way when dealing with guys. One little word can make our heads spin into another dimension just trying to decipher what they meant, making us seem like we're the complicated ones. We spend hours drafting the perfect message, making sure there aren't too many "y's" in our "hey's", making sure we sound as interested as we can, even if the conversation is down right boring, and making sure the text is sent out at the perfect time, not too early to seem to eager and no too late to seem like "one of those girls". Even with all this effort we put in just to send the perfect text, there are some key words and phrases you should never, ever say to a guy. These texts will either scare them off, or even worse, make them think your crazy or a little too clingy. So when you're drafting that perfect text to send to your guy (or any guy in general), save yourself the trouble and stay away from these trigger words.

1. "We Need to Talk".

Ding, ding, ding! This is the ultimate winner of what not to say, EVER. Nothing says get mentally prepared for a long, drawn out argument or talk like this phrase. When they hear these four little words they know all hell is about to break loose, and who are we kidding, so do we. This texts makes it seem like all the blame is put on them and whatever is wrong is automatically their fault, which is something they definitely do not want to deal with in any relationship.

2. "Do you even like me anymore?".

Obviously if a guy is with you, he likes you and finds you attractive. Never second guess their reasoning for that. They like you for you, your looks, your brain, your personality, anything you can imagine, they like you because of who you are. Questioning them whether or not they like you only makes them think that you second guess them, which can push them even further away. Trust us and trust him, he knows you exist and he still likes you just as much as he did when ever things started with you two.

3. "Why haven't you texted me back?".

This just seems clingy and is something no guy wants. To put it in basic terms, don't over text. One to two double texts is fine to get your point across, but when you get to three or more, especially if you're in a heated argument, be prepared to not have any response anytime soon. Just leave it be and wait patiently for their text back, even if it seems like it's a never ending wait.

4. Saying "Nothing" When Something is Clearly Upsetting You.

Every guy knows, or should know, that when you ask girls, "What's wrong?" and they respond, "nothing" or "whatever", they are clearly in the wrong and they don't want to be. Boys scramble around trying to figure out the last thing they did or last thing they sent just to see what could have made us mad. By saying "nothing", you're also giving them nothing to go off of. They're no mind readers (clearly) and sometimes need that little push to know what is really bothering us.

5. "I think we should break up".

Most guys never want to hear this because they want to beat us to the punch. They want to be the ones to be able to brag to their friends that they ended things and they have the upper hand. Other guys, however, may never want to hear these words because they're too hurt and still totally into you. Either way, these six words can go one way or another, just depends on the type of guy you are with and even then, no one wants to be the one broken up with.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
