Living in 2016 as a young woman isn't easy. There is constant pressure to look, act, dress, and live life a certain way. Access to social media in today's world gives us pictures, videos, articles and everything in between on how to live up to society's standards on how to be the perfect woman. Frankly, I'm sick of all the buzz about "perfect."
