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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
