Freshman year you saw this boy who you thought was so cute. You never thought you would ever have a chance with him. When you first start to like a boy it is pretty simple. You have your friends get some dirty information on him so you know what you are getting yourself into. Having a “crush” makes girls go a little insane in the membrane. Maybe your stalking and texting is creepy and annoying but hey at least your not hiding anything.

1. You see him on campus.
2. You add him on social media.
3. You pray he accepts your friend request.
4. You patiently wait for that notification.
5. He accepts! (He knows you exist.)
6. You stalk him on social media.
7. You stalk him hardcore.
8. Who is that girl in that picture he is tagged in?
9. You look through his Instagram.
10. Uh-oh, you accidentally like a picture he put up … eight weeks ago.
11. You put in so much time now on everything you tweet, Insta, share on Facebook. and even your Snaphat story because you know he will see it.
12. When you see him in public, you pretend like you don't see him, so he comes over to you first
13. When he does come over to you and says "hey," you try and act all cool.
14. But really, you are freaking out inside.
15. Your friends are looking and laughing at how much you are blushing.
16. You hope to see him when you go to certain places, just because.
17. When you do talk to him, you sound dumb because you are so nervous.
18. You exaggerate the littlest things to your friends that he does or says because you want to believe it is a true connection.
19. But you will stay positive and believe it is true.
20. Your friends will Snap you pictures of him when they see him in public like he is some sort of celebrity.
21. You talk about him to your friends all the time but realistically, you don't know him too well. So you go by what he posts on social media.
22. You see him talking to other girls, and instantly the song “Hide Away” by Daya comes into your head.
23. This all may seem very creepy, but all we really want is someone who likes us just as much as we like them.

A crush may or may not actually turn into anything. If it does, that would be awesome, but one day you will find someone just as weird, goofy, fun, and crazy like you. Whoever that boy is, he will love you for you -- and god bless him!
