It may be your friend or boyfriend or even family member. No matter what it kind of sucks not getting a text back... or getting a text back several hours later. When people don’t text you back it might be easy to be insecure and think they aren’t responding because they don’t want to talk to you or that they just don’t care.

While sadly this might be the case sometimes it isn’t always. For example, if everyone in this person’s life finds it hard to get quick responses back from them… it’s probably not you, it’s them. So here are some things I’ve learned about when people don’t text back quickly.

1. You don't have to constantly be texting

Personally, I would kind of hate continuously talking to someone all day. I would run out of things to say. Not to mention it will kill your phone battery and distract you from work or class.

2. Try calling them

If I need an answer from them within the next few hours I normally call. It’s a much safer bet that they will hear the continuous buzzing than a little notification they can swipe away. I know that some people really dislike talking on the phone, I’m not one of those people.

3. No texting = better conversation

Another great thing is that since I haven’t been talking to this person all day when we do see each other that means we actually have more things to talk about. This makes it so we don’t spend all of our time talking about useless stuff and you can actually give details or context that you wouldn’t over text.

4. Quality time is quality

While they may suck at texting back it is probably because they just aren’t on their phone a lot. This means that when they are with you, they are with you. They aren’t constantly checking their phone or scrolling through social media.


While as frustrating as it is sometime to not have people text back I have come to appreciate it some of the time. It is always nice to have people’s full attention instead of them checking their phone in the middle of conversations. So, for those people in your life that don’t text back quickly, give them a break, I’m sure they will respond eventually.

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.
