There are a lot of things that people assume or say about girls that are just getting really old. Even other women are saying some of these things. The older I get, the more I realize that these things really do bother me. I know I can't be the only one who wants these ridiculous comments to end.


1. Anything that blames our behavior on our period

"Someone is on their period", "Is it that time of the month?"... The list could go on all day. JUST SO EVERYONE IS CLEAR, A GIRL IS NOT ON HER PERIOD 24/7. Maybe I'm being a jerk because you deserve it. Ever think of that?


2. "You should really let a guy do that!"

Uh I'm perfectly capable of doing things myself. I don't need to hunt down a man and beg him to save me. I got this.


3. "When are you getting married?!"

I've had people ask me "Well when do you wanna get married?" since I was in high school. At 15 years old I wasn't really thinking getting married considering the fact I still had to ask permission to go pee. I honestly find this question to be highly annoying because I feel like people never ask men this until their 30s or 40s but women are to be expected to dream about their wedding day their whole life.


4. "So when are you going to have little ones running around?"

Right after you beat teen pregnancy, you're slammed with the whole "Your-biological-clock-is-ticking" thing. Like can I just have a sec please?!


5. "What's your bra size?"

Ah, 20 questions. The game of fuckboys. Usually, this is the fuckboy signature question (question 4 to be exact.) They really jump the gun. But unless you're planning on buying me a bra, you better mind yah damn business.


6. "I can see your bra strap"

Holy shit, someone call Victoria! Her secret is out! NEWS FLASH, women wear bras. And sometimes they slip and show. So what? Boobs are boobs and it isn't like people have seen a bra strap or two before.


7. "Who are you looking good for?"

I'm looking good for ME, MYSELF, AND I. No one else. I will not put some red lipstick for Bobby or some glitter eyeshadow for Ken. I put on make up and dress up for myself. Cause I'm the shit and deserve to spoil myself for myself, not anyone else.


8. "Smile! No boy wants a girl with a R.B.F!"

Resting bitch face is something I just can't control. It's natural. And even if it wasn't, did you ever think I'm not smiling because you're annoying the hell out of me?


9. "Wow you like sports?!"

I don't know if people realize this, but it's 2016. Girls and women have been showing interest in sports FOR A WHILE NOW. I don't understand why it's such a shock that women like to yell at the football game on TV or attend a hockey game.


10. "You shouldn't swear, it's unladylike"

I can swear if I very damn well please. And if it bothers you? Then I'm gonna keep doing it more so maybe you'll leave me alone.


11. "Why do girls wear yoga pants all the time?"

Why do boys sag their pants? Why do boys wear basketball shorts under their pants? Boy bye. I wear whatever makes me comfortable.

12. "Pink isn't your favorite color?"

Personally, I do like the color pink. But there are girls who don't and prefer other colors more. SO WHAT? When a guy says his favorite color is green, orange, purple, red, or anything expect blue you don't hear girls say "Oh you don't like blue?" Why are colors gendered?


13. "Not all guys are the same"

All you boys try to convince us of the same thing. Usually when a guy says this, he's gonna treat you just like the other scum bags did. Guys who actually mean it use actions, not words.


14. "You're the only girl I'm talking to"


This is something that'll make a girl literally laugh out loud. Not because you're funny, but because it's just another thing we've heard from the fuckboys that have come before you. Don't tell me I'm your one when you know you've got 3 other girls in line just in case things don't work out.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

"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?
