You've been home for awhile now and the months of summer that remain are full of promise and fun experiences, beach vacations and parties, laughter and tears... and texts from your ex. You know, the one you thought you got rid of for good who just so happens to contact you every time that you're home on break? Before you roll your eyes and leave his pathetic messages on 'read', you have to know what to look for.

Luckily, the girl who can spot a f*ckboy from a mile away is here to help you get through this summer without making any boy-related mistakes.

Here are 12 texts that boy will send you that you should totally leave on 'read.'

1. You up?

Giphy

Adding a winking face makes this text worse than it already is. If he adds an emoji of any kind, especially the eggplant, you need to run.

2. You're home already?

Giphy

Uh, yeah. Shouldn't matter to you though.

3. We should chill

Giphy

You can chill with your bros. I don't chill.

4. Too good for me now?

Giphy

You got it.

5. Wanna chill?

Giphy

This, in a way, is better than number three because at least they're asking versus telling. It's still bad tho. Still not worth a reply. Next!

6. Since you're home, you should come over

Giphy

This one's funny, because sometimes they add "haha" at the end to make it seem "casual"...

7. I miss you

Giphy

You don't miss me. You just miss... nvm.

8. I know you've thought about me

Giphy

Yeah, I've thought about how nice it has been to not have to see you for months.

9. You're the only girl I wanna be with

Giphy

This text is usually used to rope you into a summer-only "commitment" where you're the only one committed. Good try, boys. Good try.

10. Wyd?

Giphy

Well, I was relaxing until you texted me and ruined my peace with your existence

11. You should come cuddle

Giphy

If they're brave, they'll start with this. Typically, though, this is said after you stupidly entertain them for awhile. Don't even bother.

12. I've changed

Giphy

Have you changed? Or are you just that desperate to get laid?

Now that you know what you're looking for, you know what to avoid at all costs. Be safe out there, ladies. Fuckboys are everywhere this summer.

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.
