You don't owe him anything. Not a single thing.

This statement is bold, yes, but it's true. You don't owe guys anything. Guys sometimes act entitled to any part of a woman. I'm sorry men, but women aren't property. They're not tangible objects. They have feelings and emotions. They're masterpieces that are worth more than the Mona Lisa. You can look, but you can't touch.

When I mean girls don't owe guys anything, I mean they don't owe time, love, affection, intimacy, etc. If you are head over heels for a guy and are too scared to do the deed so to speak, you can say "no." If you encounter someone who asks for your number, you're allowed to not give it out.

If you want a physical relationship instead of an emotional one, it's your choice. If you don't want to be treated as a second option, you can break things off. If you wear revealing clothes, you aren't giving permission for a man to touch you. You don't have to justify who you are or your actions.

Women are people too. We deserve to be treated with respect.

Everyone has the right to choose what they do with their lives, and who they want to be, regardless of their gender or gender identity; this also includes romantic relationships, friends with benefits, or everything in between. So why is it that in our society we harass women when they make choices for themselves?

Women are beautiful. Women are strong. Women are courageous. Women shouldn't be thought of as incompetent or inferior. Women shouldn't be tossed aside, silenced, or not taken into consideration.

I'm not writing this article to bash on men and be an extreme feminist. There are men that understand the power of women. But, as a society, this is something we need to work on. Feminism stands for equality of both genders. I'm all for women's and men's rights.

There's so much more to women than looks.

Don't be afraid to walk with confidence. Don't be afraid to have a brain. Don't be afraid to have a voice. Don't be afraid to be a force of nature. There is going to be someone who will waltz in unexpectedly who will value you. He will think you're a gift - the greatest thing that ever happened to him. Keep this man in your life.

When dating, go in with this mindset of not owing anyone anything because you don't have to. It makes it easier. I'm starting to learn that myself. It's a work in progress for me because it can be difficult to not worry so much about what people think. This also goes for other aspects of life as well.

It can be difficult to encompass this into your lifestyle, but it comes with time. You're a diamond who doesn't need to be treated like coal. You're worth is so much more than a guy's opinion of you. All that matters is what you think of yourself, and what matters most to you.

Stick to your guns ladies, and trust your gut. You are you, and nobody can take that away from you. This may sound like nonsense, but it isn't.

You don't owe him anything. Not a single thing.

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.
