In this day and age, everyone has a smartphone. When you're in public, just about everyone is on their phone; you might be even reading this on your phone right now.

But, how about when you aren't on your phone? How about when a group chat is going on for the 5 minutes you are away from your phone and you completely miss the whole conversation? Or when that one person just won't leave you alone?

You have to eventually get back to those you have yet to respond to, and you usually hit them with the "Hey so sorry I am just getting to this I have been so busy!!" Which yes, is probably true, but how about when that isn't exactly the case and you actually want to say what really happened...

Here are some excuses we want to say but don't...

1. "Sorry I didn't see your text I'm out with some friends and didn't feel like it."

2. "Sorry I didn't answer your text, I saw your message, pretended not to see it, and actually forgot."

3. "Sorry I didn't text you back, well I thought I did, but never hit send."

4. "Sorry I didn't text you back, I was sleeping."

5. "Sorry I never answered your text, I have had the worst day and didn't feel like laughing at your jokes."

6. "Sorry I didn't text you back, I wanted to but then I didn't."

7. "Sorry I never responded, I was trying to come up with an equally witty text and just couldn't do it."

8. "Sorry I didn't answer your text I was too busy with more important things."

9. "Sorry I didn't text you back, I just couldn't think of a response that would keep you from sending another."


10. "Sorry I didn't get back to you, I am not always on my phone. I am so busy all the time, and it is hard to get back to people constantly. I am sorry I can't keep up!"

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.
