An Open Letter To All Of The Random Guys That Message Me On Facebook

For the sake of my sanity, please stop.

An Open Letter To All Of The Random Guys That Message Me On Facebook
Sure Point Spy

I don't know if any other girl has gone through this, but there are periods of time when I log on the Facebook every few hours and have 15 new friend requests from guys that I've never met. I don't really understand why this happens, but I know its because for some reason Facebook is recommending me to everyone, and so they just add me. I don't accept everyone, but if we have a substantial amount of mutual friends, then I don't have a problem confirming them as a "friend."

What I do have a problem with, however, is when they message me on Facebook as soon as I accept them. And a very large majority of them do this, so what I'm saying is extremely valid and my frustration is real.

Here's the thing: just because I confirm you as a friend on Facebook, does not mean that I am interested in you or interested in having a conversation. But here's the other thing: I'm an extremely nice person and I feel guilty reading your message and not responding. I'm a people pleaser and I don't want you to feel bad about it.

Now if I actually do find you extremely attractive, I have no problem having a conversation with you. Sorry, but that's just the way it is.

The worst part is when people message me multiple times when I don't respond. That is no way it win me over, so please just stop.

It is very nice if you to want to add me because you think I'm pretty or something, and it is also very nice of you to want to message me and compliment me. This isn't what I'm talking about, though. Because trust me, compliments are always appreciated and accepted from anyone.

It is those of you that just message me 'hey' as soon as I add you. That is such a boring conversation starter and I have no interest in responding to that.

So, to you fellas, for the sake of my sanity, just stop. Especially if I do not know you, it is creepy if you're a 27 year old (or older) with some kids and a scruffy beard messaging a 20 year old girl. Sorry, but I'm just not interested in talking.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
