21 Things College Students Confuse For Romance

Amidst the sea of hookups, almost relationships, baes, and subtweets, it seems like romance is dead among college students today. While it seems that way, it probably isn't. There is just a major case of college students confusing things that aren't romantic in the slightest with romance. If he invites you to his friend's apartment party by direct messaging you on twitter, adds you on snapchat when you get there, and then doesn't talk to you the whole night, but sends "where'd you go?" fifteen minutes after you leave, he very well might be flirting with you, but he's doing it all wrong, and you shouldn't fall for it. You also shouldn't fall for:

1) Netflix and chill

2) Inviting you to their frat party/ sorority event

3) Leaving a party together

4) Texting you after midnight

5) Sitting next to you in class

6) Liking all of your tweets/Instagram posts

7) Making out at a party


8) When they're the first person to view your Snapchat story

9) Sliding into your DMs


10) Having a Snapchat streak with them

11) Dancing on each other

12) Following you on social media right after they meet you

13) Pressuring you to drink/smoke because you should do it with "someone trustworthy"

14) When they let you use their bathroom instead of the one everyone else has to use

15) When their roommate knows about you

16) When you know their roommates

17) Matching on tinder

18) Staying up all night studying for a test together

19) When they say "hi" to you on campus


20) Sitting next to each other at a sporting event

21) When they remember your name

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.

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.
