First, a round of applause to all the females out there, being this fabulous is not that easy. These are some of the things we struggle with:

1. Shaving:

Shaving during summer, shaving for dates, or missing a spot while shaving are the worst. But, I guess it's worth the extra 10 minutes.

2. Putting on Makeup:

What we expect to look like when we finish our makeup. In reality, this would probably take us hours to look like Kylie. Taking time to find the perfect makeup look for yourself takes practice.

and if you mess up:

Time to start all over

3. That time of the month:

This is The. Worst. Time. Ever. Why couldn't we just get a note saying "congrats on not being pregnant, talk to you next month."

4. Cramps:

The cramps that come along with that time of the month could kill a boy, but we put up with every 30 days like a boss.

5. Feminine Products are expensive:

Pads, tampons, pink razors are all taxed because they're considered "luxuries." Because using a tampon or pad is a luxury we actually want to do it, but men shaving their face is a necessity that doesn't need to be taxed. Don't forget this stuff runs about $10 per package, that sh*t adds up.

6. Wearing Heels:

Wearing heels can make a woman feel gorgeous, but we run the risk of breaking an ankle. If we have to wear them for long hours, forget about walking tomorrow. And don't forget about the street dangers, not everyone can be Rhianna:

7. Trying to pick an outfit:

You closet full of clothes, but actually have nothing to wear. Usually going back to the same 5 outfits and just change up the days you wear them while trying not to look homeless. This is a daily struggle.

8. Dealing with your hair:

Long hair is one of the biggest struggles. If you wear it in a ponytail too much, you may go bald; wear it down, it goes everywhere. Not to mention how many hours we've wasted styling it.

9. Then we have to deal hair styling tools as hot as an oven:

Seriously, these things heat up to 400 degrees and could burn a house down.

10. Having to wear spandex or shorts under dresses:

Spandex is a must because sitting ladylike is not one of my specialties. It also prevents embarrassing mishaps with dresses.

11. Having to rearrange your boobs at a bad time:

When your boobs are constantly falling out of your bra and you need to fix it, but you're in a public place. It's not considered "ladylike" to realign the twins.

12. Bras:

Bras are the spawn of satan. They are tight, uncomfortable, make you sweaty, never stay in place. But, this just makes you even more appreciative of taking it off at the end of the day.

13. Being Fabulous:

Being fabulous is a daily struggle that women have to deal with, but we all doing it like a boss.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
