If He Doesn’t Text Back, Ditch Him Like The Two Week Old Cheesecake In Your Fridge

Maybe he's not just a "bad texter."

If He Doesn’t Text Back, Ditch Him Like The Two Week Old Cheesecake In Your Fridge

Throughout my many hoe phases, I've had my share of bad texters. Some that reply with a short one- to two-word text and some that just don't reply at all. And though texting isn't really all that important when it comes down to it, it may just make or break a relationship.

And come on, we live in the digital age, is anyone actually bad at texting?

Stop making excuses for them.

It's so hard to stop making excuses like, "maybe they are just busy" or, "maybe they are just playing Madden with the boys." I know you want to keep holding onto hope that maybe they like you just as much as you like them, but if they wanted to talk to you, they would.

Trust me, I know how hard it is to actually believe that, but think about how you are with people you like and don't like. Nine times out of 10 you will leave the person you don't want to talk to on read, and you will actually have a conversation with the people you like.

So why do you think it's different for guys?

Here's my tip: Go no contact for three days.

Don't text first at all, and don't double text. If they text you first, then you can respond, and they obviously passed. However, if they don't try and contact you first within those three days, they failed, and I hate to say it, but they probably don't care and you should probably drop them as soon as you can.

Now, what's my favorite way to ditch a guy?

This may sound psychotic but bear with me. Text him first, and have a good last conversation and after the last text he sends immediately send an: "SMS: SERVICE ERROR 305: Message delivery failed. Further messages will be charged to your account" message, and BOOM you are done. And I mean completely done with them FOREVER.

Now, delete his number from your phone, and move on because he wasn't worth it anyway.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
