Boys, Here Are 12 Things You Should Know About Women

https://www.pexels.com/photo/affection-afterglow-backlit-blur-556667/

It's come to my attention lately that there is this huge misconception about women being complicated.. We really aren't. Here are some things boys should learn about women before they call us complicated.

Girls Fall For The Wrong Guys

https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-wearing-a-jacket-sitting-on-brown-wooden-crate-594610/

For some reason, we like to fall hard for the guys that don't take us seriously. You know, the ones who are probably frat boys, swear that Saturdays really are only for the boys and talk to ten girls at a time. We really just love heartbreak.

We Want To Fall For Nice Guys

https://www.pexels.com/photo/photography-of-man-wearing-eyeglasses-792326/

Trust me, we want the romantic boys, it just takes a while for us to fall for the nice ones. Most of us are so used to being led on by the bad boys that it's hard for us to wrap our heads around the concept that nice boys do still exist. Give us time and be patient, we want to like you.

12 AM Texts? No Thank You

Do not text a girl at those hours unless you don't respect her. It's so disrespectful for a girl to be head over heels in love with a boy who only texts or calls at random hours of the night. Girls deserve more respect than that. Take us on dates and call us beautiful or you'll probably just end up alone.

Be Honest

Honesty is key. Be straightforward about what you want and don't ever lead a girl on. Telling her that you're dating and introducing her to your friends to just tell her a couple days later you only want to be friends with her, is not cool.

Break our hearts? Good Luck

https://pixabay.com/photos/woman-long-hair-people-female-girl-2593366/

If you break our hearts in any little way, you're done for. She will go and tell all her friends what you did or said and they will hate you. Then, her friends will go and tell their friends and so forth. It's an endless cycle. Tips? Don't break a girls heart.

Almost Anything Can Be Fixed With Flowers

Flowers fix almost all problems. I don't know why guys don't get that. If you bailed on a girl or you didn't text her back for a while and she's mad, apologize and buy her flowers. Most girls will automatically

Or Something From The Heart

https://pixabay.com/photos/art-watercolors-arts-and-crafts-1851483/

Poem? Letter? Arts and craft? We love that sappy stuff. What you guys don't understand is that girls are really that simple sometimes. Sure, jewelry and expensive stuff is nice too but sometimes something that shows you care is enough. We don't always want the expensive and non sentimental objects, we want something from the heart.

We Want You To Be Our Best Friend

https://pixabay.com/photos/argument-conflict-controversy-238529/

If you are going to date a girl, you need to also be her best friend. We want a companion that is there for us through the good and the bad times.

Romantic yet simple dates? YES, please

https://www.pexels.com/photo/backlit-boy-couple-dark-556670/

Dates don't always have to be super planned out and intricate. Sometimes the simpler the date, the better. Most days we just want to hang out with you

Say Cute Things To Us If You Mean Them

https://pixabay.com/photos/hands-heart-couple-woman-man-1150073/

We love cheesy little pickup lines and when guys call us cute but only if they truly mean it. We love love but only if you mean it. Don't even say I love you to a girl unless you are one-hundred percent sure that you feel and mean it.

We Live For Your Dorky Moments

Geeking out over your favorite show, movie or book? We find that super cute.

Affection? We stan

https://www.pexels.com/photo/adult-affection-bed-closeness-414032/

Hugs? More Hugs? Cuddles? Kisses? Yes, please. We absolutely love affection. If we have a really bad day, odds are we probably want you to comfort us with hugs.

Alright boys, I hope you learned a little bit more about us women.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
