7 Things That Will 100% Get You Left On Read

I have a love-hate relationship with texting.

It started off with long messages that would send multiple times in a broken order that we, as "texters" had to put together. We were first introduced with flip-phones and sidekicks, those were the days, ringtones with our favorite hits ("Mr. Carter" - Lil Wayne was mine) and endless AIM and BBM messages flooding our outbox. As technology has evolved, our sidekicks and flip-phones have been replaced with Androids and iPhones.

I have a love-hate relationship with texting because I enjoy having conversations face-to-face, and sometimes texting can be more than misleading, nothing but assumptions that could possibly lead to arguments--I'd rather avoid that.

I'm sure I'm not the only one that gets annoyed with certain aspects of texting. Let's take a look at some of my pet peeves for texting.

1. "Oh, I could have sworn I sent this message"

We've all done it. But let's be real, what really happened was that we seen the text, thought about responding, but when it came down to it, we "forgot."

2. Read at 8:08 p.m.

This really should not be an option, honestly. Let's just keep it at "delivered" without any motives to get the person you're beefing with tight if you leave their message on read.

3. You text me to start a conversation but then you don't text me back?

Now, this is pure disrespect. How do you go out of your way to text me, get me excited for a dope convo then you don't respond? What was your point in the first place because you just low key played me.

4. "Lol" after every text you send

I get it. You want to be lively through text because you're worried that you'll be too serious if you don't add at least one "lol." Just relax, because you're overthinking it but the constant lol's are a bit much.

5. New phone, who this?

This has never happened to me but we all know what's up. We don't forget that one number that we texted every day that easily.

6. "Oh." or "K."

Conservation enders, argument starters, an end before the actual start, really.

7. "I wasn't ignoring you, my phone was on do not disturb"

I'm guilty of this but we're all on our phones 24/7 these days, so I'm sure we seen those missed alerts.

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.
