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

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.
