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. Well, I know 20 minutes isn't enough time and these thoughts cross my mind in the 20 minutes of panic that occur before he gets here.

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

I probably did, but he doesn't need to know that...yet.

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.

Nothing screams sexy like that, right? Wrong. Time to empty out my closet in search of the perfect outfit.

3. Do I need to take out the trash?

It's only one bag, so it should be fine if I just leave it for now.

4. Do I need to fix my hair?

My hair is a fizzy mess and is falling out of the bobby pins. Does it really matter though because it always is?

5. When was the last time I shaved?

I mean my legs don't feel that prickly...

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

Last time he complained about the one bag so he definitely will complain about three bags.

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

How does my apartment get so messy when I live alone?

8. Why do I have so many dirty dishes?

I eat out all of the time yet my sink if full of dishes and I regret not living in an apartment with a dishwasher.

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

I mean if we are going out then there is no need to even clean my apartment, right?

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.

Clothes, shoes, jackets, books, you name it and it's probably shoved in the closet.

Even though these ten thoughts cross your mind, you know you are beyond excited to see your boyfriend. Plus if you and your boyfriend have been dating a while then he probably is used to your apartment been a mess and you thinking that you look like a mess all the time.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

A little advice for my original best friends

You are young

You will be scared

But be brave

You are your own person

Take Chances

When you get the chance, play.

Listen to your parents

God First

Family second

Everything else comes after

The opposite sex doesn't matter

Life moves fast

Put money into your savings account

Study hard

Just remember your life isn't made up of numbers

Learn how to shake hands

Things will fall apart

But almost every time it's better in the long run

Choose kind over cool

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate

Have a hobby outside of your phone

Take care of your skin

Always put your name on the cover of your books

Take care of your teeth

I'm always here

You can never go back in time, so live in the now.

Appreciate what you have right now, don’t wish it away.

Look around you and take in what you see

Don’t slack off on college research

If you like a college, visit it, then visit again, maybe even stay overnight.

Don’t care about what anyone thinks

Graduation day will go by FAST, take every moment in.

While looking at colleges, make sure to take into consideration where they are located.

How popular you are right now literally doesn’t matter at all.

Don’t stress over your SAT scores

Don’t complain about a five-page paper, college will be much worse- get used to it

Enjoy all of the free time you have

Don’t stress the small stuff

Go to prom

There will be a time when you miss high school

And why I fell in love.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

1. There are people who love you and want to be there for you.

2. It is OKAY to need alone time.

3. The outcome of the issue that you are stressing over probably is not as bad as you are imagining.

4. Just because you are feeling unmotivated does not mean you should give up.

5. God is there, even when you do not feel like He is.

Thank you.
