15 Things All Girls Do That Guys Just Don't Understand

All girls want out of this world is to be treated equal to men. However, we do participate in some activities that a lot of guys don't. They may give us a weird look, roll their eyes, or just be straight up confused because they just don't get it. If you aren't female, you probably won't understand. But this is for you, so you do understand. Because we are sick of the weird looks and questioning text messages asking "why do you do that?!" Sit back and buckle your seat belt because we're about to blow your mind.

1. The amount of thought that goes into an Instagram.

There are so many important variables that go into a good Instagram. You have to have the right filter, the right lighting, and a good caption. Boys don't quite get this formula and the concept of "doing it for the 'gram." Boys, Instagrams almost aren't even worth following because they throw up a grainy picture, no filter *shudder*, every five weeks with a caption "The bros." Wow. Original. I have 12 different versions of the same photo, including two backup photos in case I change my mind.

2. Carrying large amounts of stuff around with you at all times.

You never know when you're going to need something, and just thinking about that stresses me out, so the solution? Just bring it all! Boys will just throw their wallet in their back pocket and their phone. But what if all of the sudden you spill red sauce on your shirt? I have an extra one and you don't. Girls: 1 Boys: 0

3. The back of the pants check.

This is one of the ultimate bro moves for the members of the female race. If it's that girls time and she wants to wear white pants, you need to have her back at all times. No questions asked.

4. Going to the bathroom in a pack.

When one member of the squad has to pee, we all have to pee. Also, where else would we be able to talk about you boys without you hearing?

5. Wearing make up.

Even if you don't wear it very often, every girl has had to go through the struggle of wearing mascara and then having to resist rubbing your eye, unless you want to look like an early 2000s goth girl. But again, girls have the advantage here. At least we get to make ourselves look better, but if you boys don't look good...well, sucks to be you.

6. Getting our eyebrows done.

Boys don't understand that the eyebrows are life. They are the key to happiness. They will never understand why we as girls put ourselves through the pain of shaping them with hot wax, threading and tweezers. Boys just walk around with those bushy caterpillars sitting above their eyeballs. God, how do you live with yourself?!

7. Shaving our legs.

Boys will never experience the beautiful, beautiful feeling of being as smooth as a dolphin.

8. Wearing heels.

Again, why do we subject ourselves to the pain of sore knees, blisters, and crushed toes? Boys don't get it and quite frankly, neither do we. But these stilettos make my legs look like Carrie Underwood's and that's a good enough reason for me.

9. Being emotionally upset when a hair tie breaks.

Boy: "Why are you crying??"

Me: "My hair tie broke and I don't have another one."

*Has an emotional breakdown*

10. The importance of yoga pants and leggings in our day-to-day lives.

The picture really says it all.

11. Thongs.

How else am I supposed to wear my coveted Lulu yoga pants/leggings if I have a panty line? C'mon, this is basic stuff, boys.

12. Getting really upset about something and then being fine the next minute (or not, depends on the day).

I'm a little moody sometimes, okay? Just cuddle me and get me Chipotle.

13. Taking ridiculously long showers.

Boys don't understand that the shower is every girls' happy place. I have a lot to do in there. I have to shampoo, condition, shave, wash, sing, dance, and cure cancer.

14. Our creeping ability on social media.

If the entirety of FBI staff were women, every single case would be solved. Most girls already know your ex-girlfriend's name, birthday, interests, medical history, favorite color, and social security number.

15. The importance of the selfie and pictures in general.

Any moment that is going on that has any sort of importance is a Kodak moment. Whether it is with the front or rear facing camera totally depends on the situation. Us girls will take pictures of whatever we can for the 'gram' and for our forever-full camera rolls because we can never bring ourselves to delete them.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.

Being a music major is not all kicks and giggles. In fact, there are days when I question my sanity and doubt myself as a musician. I know I am not the only one going through the struggle, and so here are 13 GIFs that I know my fellow music majors can relate to...
