10 Thoughts That Pop Into Every Girl's Mind When Her Boyfriend Says He'll Be There In Less Than 20

Is it acceptable to text back and ask him to wait 20 minutes so you can get ready and clean your apartment?

I love seeing my boyfriend's name pop up on my phone and see a text that he is on his way over. I'm so excited that I get to see him but then panic sets in. I only have 20 minutes to make sure that my apartment is completely clean and that I'm ready for date night.

To All Students During Finals Week, From A Senior Who's Been There

Relax because everything will be fine.

Dear Sleep Deprived Students,

I know how stressful finals week can be. Trying to cram all the information that you have learned throughout the semester or trying to teach yourself all the information that your teacher never did (shoutout to those teachers).

At this moment, it feels like that you have to have the world on your shoulders, considering this one final is the defining factor of your entire life. I am just going fill you in with a secret: it is NOT. These grades may seem like the end of the world if you don't get the grade that you need to get into graduate school, med school, or landing your dream. Yes, achieving high grades is important BUT it is not the end of the world.

Congratulations! We've made it to our junior year. This is when the idea of life after college starts to settle in. Let's take a moment to realize that we made it through some of the most difficult parts of being in college. We made it through freshman orientation, assessment day, and the stress of not being able to get into your classes. I bring up this thought because we typically do not give ourselves enough credit for all that we have done. As we start to approach graduation day and the life thereafter, we should take comfort in what we have accomplished.

Is it acceptable to text back and ask him to wait 20 minutes so you can get ready and clean your apartment?

1. I literally have 20 minutes to clean everything so he doesn't think I sat around all day eating Cheetos and watching Netflix.

2. I have to change into real clothes and out of my old college crew neck and the leggings I have worn for the last three days.

3. Do I need to take out the trash?

4. Do I need to fix my hair?

5. When was the last time I shaved?

6. I most definitely need to take out the trash because the one bag just turned into three bags.

7. I regret doing nothing all day and should've been cleaning this apartment instead.

8. Why do I have so many dirty dishes?

9. I wonder what are plans are for tonight and if I need to even clean.

10. Efff...he just texted that he just parked so I'm just going to shove everything into my closet and hope for the best.

Relax because everything will be fine.
