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?

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.
