28 Truths Only a Girly-Girl Who's Also "One of the Guys" Can Relate To

There's no real word to describe us other than "awesome"

28 Truths Only a Girly-Girl Who's Also "One of the Guys" Can Relate To

We're a rare breed, and there's not really a label for us other than "awesome." We're not tomboys. We're not froofy, either. We're those well-dressed, feminine, well-spoken girls with that undercover masculine streak. But such uniqueness means we've got probs only other girls like us will understand. Here's 28 of them.

1. You own three types of shoes.

1. The stylishly cute pairs you wear when getting coffee with the girls. 2. The ones that stink (like last year's locker room laundry...) that you throw on to play Ultimate with your bros. 3. The stylish, cute ones you wore once playing Ultimate with your bros. Whoops.

2. You always have nice outfits for sports events.

Then you can look cute while screaming your lungs out for your favorite team (and then arguing about plays and passes and stats later!)

3. Chick-flick or explosion-heavy action movie?

"Avengers" or "Princess Diaries"? "Pride and Prejudice" or "Jason Bourne"?

4. Sure, you love Starbucks, but (unless you do already) you're pretty sure you'll like beer and whiskey, too.


5. You end up playing wingwoman for both your guy friends and your girlfriends... sometimes at the same time.

6. You love cars. As in speed demons with awesome engines. In nice colors, anyway.


7. You make food. A lot of it. Both for Instagram and to eat all of it shamelessly. But mostly to eat all of it shamelessly.


8. You have no problem lifting and moving things in your heels.

You're a strong independent woman who don't need no man's help... but you definitely need cute shoes and bragging rights.


9. You use perfume as a bonus deodorant.

Because 1. It's nice and feminine and classy and 2. if you do end up playing Ultimate later, you won't smell like it after your Lady Speedstick fails you.

10. You owned both LEGOs and American Girl dolls at some point in your childhood.

Other staples: Barbies who were both fashionistas and soldiers, and matchbox cars with names and families (and that was BEFORE "Cars" was a thing...)

11. You say "Dude, you're awesome" and "I LOVE YOU SO MUCH" equally as much.

Because sometimes you can't even, and sometimes everything's just "SA-WEEET."


12. If one of your guy friends starts running, you WILL run after him and BEAT him... even if you're wearing heels.

SHOTGUN. IT'S MINE. LADIES FIRST.

13. You just choose not to flirt as a rule. It's too confusing.

You know girls tend to over-read everything. And you also know guys either do the same or are oblivious. It's just not worth it.

14. You're the squad's official spider killer...

Both for your girlfriends and for your guy friends (because they're okay admitting to you that spiders are gross!)

15. You're just as good at getting the perfect smokey eye as throwing a football.


It just requires that perfect touch.

16. When people ask what sport you'd compete in if you were an Olympian, part of you would love to be a figure skater but you also think rugby would be cool.


Because sparkles and twirling is so pretty but then running across a field screaming and tackling people is pretty legit, too.


17. You feel this strong need to prove yourself, in general.

"Really guys/girls, I've got this."

18. You've mastered the art of having pretty (but also functional) hair.

Because who said said practical can't look gorgeous?

19. You overreact when your guy friend burps (ERMEHWERD WHYYYYY) but then tell them it wasn't impressive enough, try again.

20. You are the ultimate master of sarcasm.

21. You always have lipstick and your pocketknife on you.

Gotta be prepared.

22. Your t-shirts are all the v-neck, fitted, feminine looking kind but they also are all representing your favorite sports teams and bands and superheroes.

23. You roll your eyes at girls who say "I like guys because they're not dramatic."

"Girl, I got bros who are so dramatic they deserve Tony Awards."

24. But you also roll your eyes at guys who say, "All girls are so dramatic!" because they obviously forgot you're sitting right there.


25. When people say the word "mask," you sometimes think of a facial but sometimes think of Batman.


Why not both? Can I make that happen?

26. The shooting range and the mall sound equally exciting.


27. You have the weirdest music playlists.


28. You just love life, in general!


You're a well-rounded woman and you've got this! You're ready for anything life throws at you. And if it takes a wrong turn, just throw glitter on it or blow it up!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
