Your first boyfriend. Hearts were racing, recess was coming up, and you had just gotten permission from your parents to start dating. You thought you were going to marry him, but then at the end of the week you were bored and broke up.

I asked a handful of women what their first relationship entailed from the way they were asked out to the way they broke up. Embarrassment and all, these are their stories.

1. All-American Rejected

"My first boyfriend was in the 5th grade. For Valentine's Day, he got me the latest All-American Rejects CD. I got bored and didn't want to date him anymore but I didn't want to initiate it, so I just ignored and avoided him until he eventually broke up with me. It lasted like a month."

2. Sponsored by Monster Energy

"My first boyfriend stuck gum under the chairs in my kitchen and when my family noticed it and realized none of us were dumb enough to do that, my dad confronted him about it and he denied it so hard. He also told me he was an MMA fighter sponsored by Monster but I never once saw a match or heard/saw any proof, but being 14 and in LOVE, I fully supported him. Surprise, surprise: We broke up because he was lying our entire relationship."

3. Less Than 24 Hours

"My first boyfriend lasted less than 24 hours. He asked me out in gym class, I said yes during computer class, then I put a note on his locker that said I was breaking up with him during study hall the same day. I got in trouble with my parents and brother because I didn't break up with him in person, so I officially broke up with him the next morning before class started."

4. The Drop-Off

"My first real boyfriend took me to the re-premiere of "Finding Nemo" because it was my favorite movie at the time. After our parents dropped us off because we were only freshmen, we were the only people there besides a couple of really old people. All of a sudden, he kissed me before we left and it was so awkward. He basically ate my face. Another time, I had said something about how I thought my thighs were fat and he kind of pinched them and said I could work on them."

5. Cheater Cheater

"My boyfriend cheated on me with my best friend. Come to find out, he cheated on me with a guy as well, then told my best friend to let me know that he had come out as gay."

6. I Don't Dance

"I 'dated' this guy in 8th grade and the whole relationship was awkward. We slow danced at a school dance together but he didn't know how, so a friend had to teach him. The extent of our relationship was basically high-fiving in the hall and talking. Then, he dumped me at the next dance by confronting me with this other girl who liked him and they both asked me if it was okay if we were done so they could date instead. While he was breaking up with me, my dad was waiting to pick me up from the dance and decided to get out of the car and wave a flashlight at us to get my attention."

Thank you, first boyfriends, for all of the memories. The heartbreak, handholding, and having your friend break up with us for you because you couldn't do it yourself. Gone but truly never forgotten.

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.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
