14 Struggles of Being a Girl

Being a girl definitely has its ups and downs. The cute clothes, manicures, and all that jazz are just some perks. But the cramps and having to put on make up all the time or else we get asked if we're tired are just two of the major struggles we face when it comes to being a female in today's world. Want to know more? Here's a list of struggles girls all around the world are facing on a day to day basis.


1. High Heels

Because nothing draws more attention in the club like you trying to walk with blisters but really looking like a baby giraffe fresh out of the womb in heels.


2. Panty Lines


You have an extensive collection of underwear in your drawers. The ones for the gym, the ones for a night out, the ones you wear when you don't want to wear underwear...


3. You have to shave everything


And once you do shave everything, it grows back twice as fast so its almost pointless to shave in the first place!


4. When you get a manicure and it chips the next day


The best feeling, to me anyways, is just to sit back, relax and get my nails done. Sometimes it can be an expense, sure, but they sure look pretty after. AND THEN THEY FRICKIN' CHIP THE NEXT DAY!


5. Having to use the bathroom while wearing certain outfits


Awe, you wore a super cute romper to the beach today? Good luck going to the bathroom in that! But, hey, if you can conquer this female milestone, more power to you!


6. Getting your hair stuck on your lip gloss


Forget driving with the windows down after just applying that new cute gloss from Sephora that you spent an un Godly amount of money on. Now your hair will have a sparkly gloss to it as well. Maybe just not the one you originally wanted...


7. When your hair tie breaks and a little bit of you dies inside


You've been running around all day between class, that nap and now you've finally made it to the gym. You go to put your hair up with your handy dandy hair tie that hasn't left your wrist in three days, go to put your hair up, and then snap. Your hair tie breaks and you feel a little something inside of you snap a little bit too.


8. When your ponytail is too tight...


You think you've gotten the perfect pony; your hair is away from your face, the length is perfect, and its so sleek. As the day goes on, your head starts to hurt and even throb. Its bad.


9. When you have to sneeze right after doing your mascara


You feel it coming on and you know there's no stopping it. You try everything in your power to not sneeze because your mascara is still wet. And then it happens. Boom. Mascara everywhere it isn't supposed to be.


10. When you rub your eyes but forget you still have make up on...


At the end of the day, you come home, put your feet up, reach up, rub your eyes and mid rub, you remember that you're still wearing make up and now look like a very tired raccoon.


11. Having to take your make up off before bed


Nothing makes me sadder than getting into my pjs, snuggling up with my thousands of blankets and then realizing I still have to take my make up off. I have to get up, turn the light on, go take my make up off, get back into bed, try to get comfy and it just doesn't work.


12. Eyebrows


Because who doesn't love getting hot wax ripped off of the super sensitive parts of your face??? Well there goes $10. That is like four drinks at Dunkin, but thank goodness I don't have caterpillars on my face anymore...


13. Hairstyling


Curlers, straighteners, hair dryers, oh my! Sure, it may leave lasting damage in your hair but at least it looks pretty after...right?


14. Contouring


Who doesn't love to wake up a half hour early just to contour their face when you'll probably mess it up with only five minutes before you have to leave? But when that contour is on point...damn. Go you.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
