No, It Is Not My Period!

Things you probably shouldn't say to a girl.

There are several moments in life where you're not so sure what to say to someone, more importantly, WOMEN. It doesn't matter how long you sit there and think about what you should say, you can never seem to find the right words. Even sometimes women run into this with other women. Men, you're not alone. Trust me, we know we are confusing and sensitive. Here are a couple things you should probably avoid when talking to a woman and what she's probably thinking when you say the wrong thing..

1. "Are you on your period, is that why you're so grumpy?"

This is probably the worst thing you could ever say to a woman. NO, we're not always grumpy just because we are on our period. Sometimes, you still get on my nerves. It is not my period, it's you.

2. "Is that what you're going to wear?"

Yes, obviously I didn't put it on for fun. I wanna wear this, is that okay? Woman do not want you to question them on what they're gonna wear for the day or for the occasion we got dressed up for. If you don't like what she's wearing, then tell her.

3. "Calm down."

I don't need to calm down. You need to give me space before I punch you in the face. This isn't just for women, I am pretty sure this applies to all sexes. Telling someone to calm down makes them even angrier. AVOID THIS AT ALL COST.

4. "I don't care."

You better start caring. Even if you really don't care, you should probably act like you do.

5. "You're Crazy."

WOAH, this is gonna get you a one-way ticket to the dog house. She may be crazy but never tell her that. Girls do not like to be told that they are crazy. It doesn't matter what sentence you put it in, women will always find a way to get mad about it. So, do us both a favor and just don't say it.

6. "My Ex....."

"We don't want to know about your ex. You're going to make us angry when you say that. You ex is your past, keep them there.

7. "Don't take this the wrong way, but..."

Excuse me, back up. I am definitely going to take this the wrong way.

8. "You remind me of (any woman)."

Don't tell us we remind you of another woman, that is only going to upset us.

9. "You ask a lot of questions."

I am curious, get over it. We don't care how you feel about our curiosity, just answer my questions.

10. "I was kidding."

They say that when you're "just kidding", part of what you're saying is true. So, please dont kid around.

I really hope that this helped you at least a little bit. Not every girl gets upset about the same things, so I can't help in all categories. But, this is a majority of the phrases people tend to use that get women pretty heated.

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.
