I like to think I know a lot about relationships, but the truth of the matter is, I really don't. One area where I'm not struggling? Ghosting. I've been ghosted PLENTY of times, and I've also ghosted people more than I'd like to admit.

Being ghosted can cause a multitude of feelings for an individual. Sometimes we don't care, while other times it hits us HARD. Here are seventeen thoughts every young woman has running through their mind when someone ghosts them.

1. Wait, am I actually being ghosted?!

I always jump right to denial.

2. Do not send that double text. Do NOT DO IT.

*Sends twenty-three texts without a reply just in case they forgot to text back, just got busy, or didn't have a response to the last twelve*

3. It's only been a day since I've heard back, maybe they just got busy...

I mean, they always made it a priority to text me back before we hooked up but now I'm just thinking they're busy...cause that happens...

4. Will sending them a funny meme make them reply?

Memes are always worth a reply, right?

5. Welp, I've officially texted them three times without a reply...#ProbablyGhosted

Not gonna make me quite give up hope, tho...

6. That's fine, I didn't really like them anyways.


This is always one of my first thoughts. I mean, I totally wasn't just crushing on them or anything...

7. I'm going to text John from Stats and see if he wants to come chill, that'll get this guy off my mind...

Because hooking up with someone else is always a good idea.

8. Back to Tinder I go, I guess.

I've probably spent half of my life swiping on this app...

9. How many cats are too many cats? Asking for a friend cause I'm about to have 20.

Cats are forever. Boys are for never.

10. He isn't worth wasting my alcohol on him but I'm about to take seven shots to get him off my mind.

Cue the girls' night and vodka...

11. *Drunk texts him again because the seven shots made me miss him instead of get over him.*

Are we that surprised this happened?!

12. Time to post a bomb selfie on my story so he'll see what he's missing out on.

*Checks it every four minutes to see if he's viewed it yet...*

13. Hopefully, my siblings end up having kids because I know I'll never make my mom a grandma.

Sorry mom.

14. Throwback to when I thought I'd find the love of my life in college.

This is the BIGGEST joke out there.

15. Yeah, I've for sure been ghosted. It's fine. Totally fine.

Not like it hasn't happened before.

16. *Cries in bed while listening to Taylor Swift.*

Oh Taylor, how you get me in my feels every time...

17. OOO, that boy is cute, I'm gonna hit him up...

And so the cycle continues...

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
