What It's Really Like To Be In An All-Girls Group Chat

A girl's GM contains more secrets than the entire U.S. government, more fashion advice than every issue of Vogue combined, more support and inspiration than any Pinterest board ever could, and more roasts than a Donald Trump debate, and this is only the beginning. A female group text is a wonder in and of itself, and every girl knows that in order to achieve this magical realm of advice, sass, and support, it requires a combination of a few special types of members. But as we know, every all-girl friend group has their own group chat. These group chats hold everyone's daily activities, secrets, L's of the week, selfies and a multitude of things we can't even really explain.

These are the GM's where it all goes down. The roasting, the analyzing of texts, the concocting a response, the outfit approval, the planning on who's bring the marg-mix and who's bringing the tequila. These are the GM's that make all the other GM's worth it.

Whether it's your friends you've had since high school, the friends you made in college in separate parts of the country/world but still accessible via group chat or your work friends. These GM's allow you to tell your whole squad the latest gossip without having to retell the same story or answer the same questions a billion times.

The Squad GM is the original GM, the text message answer to the conference call, it's beautiful (unless you're the one being roasted then it's painful).

They will make you smile, be angry, and always make you laugh, not just because of the random, but needed GIF wars or random roast sessions, but because you know that your people are there for you, for better or for worse. Whether you think you want to die from your stubbies hangover, explain why you think dogs are better than cats, or simply text to look like you have multiple friends, group messages will always be there for you. So the next time you’re added to a GM titled “The Girls Room” don’t roll your eyes. Get ready for the late night texts and early morning pings. Congratulations, you have just been entered into the group message circus.

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.
