Dear Boys,

Let's be frank: Nine times out of ten, you suck at communication. Granted, that is a stereotype, but in my experience, it has held pretty true. We, the girls you romantically pursue, literally have no idea of your feelings or what you want. Why? Because you don't tell us. This means we are inevitably lead on and hurt, time after time. And frankly, I'm sick of it.

I'm sick of chasing boys. I'm sick of not being told what I'm doing wrong, or if anything is even happening. Sure this is college, and the age of the hookup culture is upon us, but seriously, just be honest with us. We don't deserve to be lied to time after time, and we hate thinking we have a chance when we don't. If you tell us right off the bat what you want and how you feel about us, I can guarantee things won't be as messy and as complicated as they have been.

Truthfully, I'm sick of not feeling good enough, and this culture of being left on read constantly, then waltzing right back in like you haven't ignored me for four days is getting old. This isn't how you form meaningful relationships and friendships, let alone show a girl you like her. We get not knowing your feelings, trust us, we're girls. But if we have to learn how to be open with ourselves, especially when it comes to you, why can't you do the same? Don't double tap our latest gram pic, send us a text. Ask us out for coffee. We aren't mind readers. Give us something to work with!

Guys, get your shit together before we do it for you.

Sincerely,

The girls who are sick of not knowing how you feel

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed. You feel like you will have never-ending classwork to catch up on if you miss class, so you end up going sick and then it just takes longer to get better. Being sick in college is really tough and definitely not a fun experience. Here are the 15 stages that everyone ends up going through when they are sick at college.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
