  Being a girl, overanalyzing simplistic things such as a text is in our nature. Scrutinizing over whether to use hey or hi, deciding to wait to respond 30 minutes or an hour, and consulting all of your friends on what they think you should say is a fairly common process. For some reason, we’ve engrained it into our heads that our use of smiley faces, commas, and “what are you doing tonight’s” will determine not only our fate with a guy, but also our fate in itself.             Remember that guys don’t think or analyze their wording nearly as much as we overdramatize it, using texting only as a way to make plans and to get answers. Don’t overanalyze their responses because for them a text is a text, not what for us feels like the basis of a relationship...

Finals- FML for Short

  We’ve been dreading this week for months, attempting to trick our minds into believing that the reading days were actually just generous days off in celebration of a random holiday. In reality, we knew that the days we skipped class because we were too hungover were catching up to us, and catching up to us fast.
