10 Things I'm Sick Of Hearing Because I Curse

"Sweet as sugar, hard as ice. Hurt me once, I'll kill you twice."

10 Things I'm Sick Of Hearing Because I Curse
Thought Catalog

I believe that my vocabulary is very, VERY colorful but I hate the judgmental comments I get when I say a word that someone does not like.

1. "You are unprofessional."

I curse in front of friends. And in grunts of frustration. I do not go to an employer or a professional boss and say, "Shit." or any other curse words. There is a time and place to say things.

2. "You only curse for attention."

I don't know a single woman who swears just to get attention. Personally, I've never thought cussing would magically make me stand out or appear sexier or more confident or tough, either. But if you're a woman who loves to swear, some people are going to think you only developed Sailor Mouth or a trucker mouth because you're an attention-seeker.

3. "You are just trying to be 'one of the guys'."

This one I CANNOT stress enough. Just because I curse, does not mean I am more manly then feminine.

4. "You try to be cool."

Just because I said "Damn" does not mean I am trying to fit in by any means. But thank you for asking about my popularity.

5. "You are far from classy."

First of all, no one should get to tell grown women whether or not we're classy enough; we get to decide that for ourselves. Let's open the book to music guru's who use swears. Beyonce, Katy Perry, Lily Allen, and Lana Del Rey all curse in their songs, and they are the classiest people I have ever met.

6. "My religion is against this."

I swear I hear this more than ten times a day. Just because I say the F word, does not mean I worship Satan, but thanks.

7. "You have terrible manners."

Okay, okay. I do not say all the curse words at the dinner table.

8. "You must drink like sailors."

What does cursing have anything to do with alcohol?

9. "You must have a poor vocabulary."

No comment for this one.

10. "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?"

I kiss everyone with this mouth. Sometimes I pass "the cursing bug" to other people. *gasp*

Here are ten things that I, as a woman, am sick of hearing because I curse.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

No Matter How Challenging School Gets, You Have To Put Your Health First — A Degree Won't Mean Anything If You're Dead

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
