19 Reasons Why Being a Girl Can Really Suck

Being a female is great, but sometimes I really just can't stand it. Little things that are acceptable for men but not women just aggravate me. Here you can find 19 of those many pesky things that we deal with on a daily basis, while guys just glide through life without a care in the world.

1. “Did you break your straightner?”

Boys get to just roll out of bed, and maybe get in the shower, every day. God forbid we don't put makeup on or brush our hair for one day out of the year. Sometimes I just don't feel like it, okay?

2. “I think I’ll pass on the convertible.”

Yeah convertibles are so fun and classy and then I look like this! What is this? Do any guys understand how long it takes to brush through this. An eternity, if you're a boy and ever so slightly curious. But please, by all means, enjoy the car ride.

3. Drama. Drama. And more DRAMA!

I feel like I'm in a movie sometimes due to the dramatic females I'm surrounded by on a daily basis. The biggest problem here is, even if you're not starting the drama, as a woman, you will be dragged into it somehow.

4. “Sweet raccoon eyes”

I can't swim, or cry, or sweat with makeup on because this happens. And this isn't cute. So why put it on in the first place? Idk society. Why do I have this struggle but guys do not?

5. Fake pockets!

Why sew an illusion on my pants just to piss me off!? I can't wrap my head around it and it makes me unhappy. Where do I put my phone now, or money? My bra? No. Because that's already exceeding capacity with the fruit assortment strapped to my chest.

6. “Ouch!” *Grabs boob immediately*

Nothing drives me more insane than my under wire popping out of my bra when I'm in the middle of something. It makes you look psychotic when you randomly hold your boob for dear life and nobody else understands whats happening. But what they don't know, is you were just stabbed, in broad day light. By someone you trusted to support you.

7. “Your calves don’t look good in those flats”

Why are these necessary? They really don't make my legs look that good,especially with my kankles due to rolled ankles. Wonder where those came from...

8. “Where did this come from?”

Hair. EVERYWHERE. How can we lose so much every single day of our lives? And boys aren't exactly understanding...

9. "And for the lady, perhaps a salad"?

"Perhaps not. I'll take 3 Budweisers and the greasiest thing you've got in this place, thanks." It's always assumed that we're going to eat light and workout all the time. What is that? NO! I like food and I love beer. Nobody is taking either away from me.

10. Bald from the eyebrows down

Why must we shave everything? I think a nice trim would do just fine, but society (specifically of the male gender) thinks otherwise. If we have to deal with their hairy legs, I think they should deal with ours. What do you say ladies? Let's go on strike!

11. “Did you just say #?*!%#???”

"That's not very lady like..." "Well no shit, but I just said it and I don't have a bulge in my pants now do I?" It is so irritating when someone informs you you're not acting like a girl because you used a "curse word." Get over it America. We make money now too, so we're gonna talk like sailors all we want!

12. “Where’s the front?”

Thongs are not comfortable. I don’t care how many people tell you their butt is too big for regular underwear. I’m right there with ya sister, but I will not claim comfort. Why is an underwear line such a big deal anyway? I'd rather have that than butt floss.

13. Where is my hair tie? Or my bobby pins??

Where do they go?? It's so frustrating when you wake up late and scramble for a bobby pin and they're gone, but you went to bed with like 10 in your hair. There should be an episode of "60 minutes: Where are they now? featuring: Hair Accessories"

14. “Sleeping around” isn’t an option

Boys literally take count and make lists and brag about their "late night hook-ups," but if we're caught leaving a party with a guy just once, you might as well sew a red A to every outfit you own. (Thank you, Easy A, for being my perfect example.)

15. Boobs

Guys think that boobs are God's gift to Earth, but these things get in the way. I can't run. I can't have a day without back pain. I can't find a damn bra that fits correctly. These things are not fun to deal with. I can't even see my toes!!

16. Aunt Flo visits monthly

Why can't we just get a text or a letter in the mail saying we aren't pregnant? This bleeding thing is not cool. Somebody needs to put a stop to this maddness.

17. And you have to sneak around with her

Honestly, when you're discreetly taking a tampon with you anywhere, does it not feel this big? Everybody is staring at you and you're just trying to prevent the Boston massacre from escaping your pants. "I'm just trying to be a modern day hero here y'all. No need to observe."

18. "Hey girl, whats up?"

Guys are ruthless. Girls will give you a cute smile and you can take it or leave it. Guys won't take no for an answer. If you turn him down you're just a flaming idiot, right? No! But that wont stop him from contacting you everyday for the next year.

19.Birth.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
