12 Reasons Why It's Different For Girls

Everything is different for girls. From our appearance, to how we act, and especially how we love others.

12 Reasons Why It's Different For Girls
Catelyn Peterson

It's obvious that everything is different for us girls. We are more easily judged and we have to hold ourselves to a much higher standard. In today's society, we're supposed to meet a certain stereotype that the world percieves us to be. It is hard for us to just sit back and be ourselves in a world that is telling us the complete opposite. Everything is different for girls. From our appearance, to how we act, and especially how we love others.

Here is a list of why everything is different for girls:

1. We can't just roll out of bed and leave the house.

2. It takes us a super long time to get ready because we have to make sure we look camera ready.

3. We overreact.

4. We are the best at overthinking things.

5. We can't just let ourselves go.

6. When things get rough, it takes a lot for us to act tough.

7. We wear our heart on our sleeves, which makes it easier for us to get hurt.

8. When our hearts get broken, we can't fix it back together in a short period of time.

9. We can't turn off our feelings when we feel something for someone.

10. We mean it when we tell someone we love them.

11. When love disappears, we can't pretend that it never happened.

12. When we love, we love hard.

So love yourselves, love others, and know that even though everything is different for us, it is worth it in the end.

Xoxo,

Catelyn

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

8 Easy Ways to Get Involved in College

It's easier than you think.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
