24 Essential Girl Skills
Huffington Post

As females, there are a couple of things that we just excel at. However, strange they may be, there’s no denying that some of them come in handy. When at concerts, parties, in the car, or even at home, we tend to find the solution to day-to-day issues, and sometimes even impress our male counterparts in the process. The following is a list of skills that are vital for day-today girl situations.

1.) Applying makeup in a moving vehicle

2.) Changing clothes in tight spaces (ex. a port-o-lav or the trunk of a car)

3.) Fitting you and your four friends into the bathroom

4.) Getting to the front of most lines

5.) Holding things on your hip

6.) Walking over drainage grates in heels

7.) Taking four hours to get ready

8.) Taking .5 seconds to get into sweats after coming home

9.) Holding your phone in your bra

10.) Refusing a date, drink, or ride

11.) Retying a broken hair tie and using it

12.) Putting on lip stain without a mirror

13.) Matching your clothes in the dark, as to not wake your roommate or significant other

14.) Dry shaving without cutting yourself

15.) Changing shirts without taking one off

16.) Going to the bathroom outside

17.) Sleeping with freshly painted nails and not messing them up

18.) Using your friend’s sunglasses as a mirror

19.) Carrying around a 40 pound purse

20.) Picking underwear off of the floor with our toes.

21.) Contouring almost every inch of our body.

22.) Doing yoga with our cat.

23.) Sitting in the most “un-lady-like” ways.

24.) Eating just as much as our dad, brother, or boyfriend.

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.

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?
