11 Struggles Of Women's Pockets

Most of the time they're not even functional.

Being a woman has its ups and downs. We can bring babies into this world (of course with some help), and we can rocks buns without judgment (sorry, guys. man-buns really shouldn't be a thing). Although that stuff is cool, one of the worst parts of being a woman are pockets in women's clothing. Every time I go somewhere, I have to take a bag or get creative with how I carry my belongings. Sometimes guys with pockets are nice enough to hold your stuff, but it really shouldn't be like that. I'd like to keep my stuff with me, so here are 11 struggles of women's pockets.

1. Some are just for looks.

Nothing is more annoying than trying to put something into your pocket and realizing it is sewn shut. Stupid.

2. Dresses usually don't have any.

What are you supposed to do with everything? Hold it? I'd prefer not to. If you do find a dress with pockets, it's one of the best things in the world.

3. Leggings definitely don't have any.

This one is frustrating, too. Most of the time I put my stuff in the waistband until it starts to move down my leg.

4. They're too shallow to hold phones.

With phones getting bigger, it seems harder and harder trying to fit your phone in them.

5. Your belongings are constantly hanging out of them.

This one goes along with the shallowness. Since they're too shallow, your stuff is like halfway out of your pocket making it easy for things to fall out/get lost.

6. There isn't enough room for your phone, keys, wallet, or anything else you may have.

The back ones are usually just for show, so you have to force everything in the front ones which can be annoying.

7. You can't put your hands in them.

I like to put my hands in my pockets, and sometimes I can't. I feel really uncomfortable when this happens since I don't know what to do with my hands.

8. They bunch up when you first put them on.

Girls pants are generally pretty tight, so you have to awkwardly move your hands to un-bunch your pants. It looks so strange.

9. Back pockets sometimes have buttons.

When this happens, sitting down can be rather uncomfortable since you have something hard pushing on your butt. At the least they're functional.

10. You're forced to carry a bag/your belongings.

Instead of just making functional pockets, we have to carry around a bag or something to hold our things. I really don't want something I have to carry every where. It's annoying.

11. Or you have to get creative with how you carry things.

I've found myself putting items in my bra and even shoes before. It's not comfortable.

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.
