9 Things The Independent Woman Wants — AHEM – Needs You To Know Before Dating Her

You probably knew most of this, and if you didn't, you're going to.

Her life is busy

She may not be able to see you every day, and that's okay. A relationship isn't about the quantity of time you spend together, but rather the quality of time spent together.

She may not respond to your texts

This goes along with the above. Her life is way too busy to be constantly texting you every minute. Besides, we're all adults now. Waiting a few hours to talk isn't the end of the world.

She's not going to rely on you

As much as Disney princesses rely on their princes, an independent woman won't need to. She relies on herself. Don't take it personally.

She may seem closed off, but she's not

We're all tough cookies to crack, and independent women are no different. Her exterior might be a little hard to get through, but on the inside, she's soft.

She doesn't mind paying the bill

Traditionalists will say that it is always the man's responsibility to pay the check, but nowadays, who cares? Independent women will be more than happy to pay. Take turns if you must!

She tells it like it is

If she comes off as harsh, she isn't meaning to. She's just blunt because she doesn't have the time of day to beat around the bush.

She likes things to be done when you say they'll be done

If you tell her you'll do something by Friday and it doesn't get done, you're going to have some problems. Don't say what you don't mean boys.

She wants you to communicate with her

Nothing is more annoying than a man who won't tell her what she does wrong or if she upset you. JUST COMMUNICATE. I promise it'll be worth it.

She waits for no one

If you are dragging her down, she will leave you behind. Try to uplift her, be her solace. Don't hold her back because she isn't afraid to leave. It'll hurt like hell, but her career is everything.

If you're afraid to date an independent woman, you probably shouldn't. You'll only weigh her down. If you aren't afraid, well, you know what they say... Good luck, Charlie.

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.
