I'm A Girl That Likes 'The Chase' And I’m Not Sorry

Sometimes a man is more interesting when he’s trying to impress you.

If you don’t know what "the chase" is, it’s basically all of the pre-relationship stuff. It’s the back and forth of “does this guy like me or what?” Or it's "do I want this guy to like me?" Or it's "I like this guy, but I can't really deal with all the relationship extraness RN." The chase is the best and I used to ~lowkey~ love every minute of it, but here I am now to confess.

Some people call it "the challenge," but whatever you call it, it's one big game either way.

I like the game and honestly, I’m not afraid to admit it — call it what you want. We’ve all played the game at some point. And, when it comes to college, most people are playing so either play or get played is the way I see the situation.

Most people aren’t trying to be serious because they have GPAs, jobs, friends and finding the perfect internship to worry about. You're trying to make time for friends when you're not studying, working and/or trying to get your life together, so it’s a lot of commitment to make a full-time relationship a thing right now.

I've spent so much time in this back and fourth stage and it used to annoy me when guys didn't know what they wanted but do I? Not really... I know I don't want to deal with anyone who's trying to hurt me, obviously, and I'm not trying to hurt anyone either.

Whether it's a cute dinner, a movie night or a one-night stand — a lot of people settle for the chase. And, that’s where it all stops so you can move on to the next flavor of the week. I'm busy trying to save money and figure out what I want out of life, plus who needs a man at 20, anyway?

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

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. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

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.
