5 Signs You Hate Change

Change can be scary. Whether it's good, bad, or somewhere in between, most of us are at least a little apprehensive about changes in our lives. However, some of us are more affected than others. Here are five signs that you truly hate and dread change.

1. You obsess over your schedule, and freak out every time something in it changes even the slightest bit.

You have a schedule for a reason, and somehow people still don't understand why it's important to stick to it.

2. You have daily routines that you swear by, and if you wake up late, it can mess up your whole day.

Even though it may not seem like a big deal to someone else, your comfortable routines become so important to you that changing what you do because of waking up late in the morning can ruin your mood for the day.

3. You hate when family traditions are left behind.

Even though it might not be realistic to get the whole family together for Mother's Day brunch anymore, you still mourn the good times you had in the past and think that it and other traditions left behind should be reinstated ASAP.

4. When a new friend comes into your friend group, you worry that the group's dynamic will change.

The group is already awesome, why do new people have to come in and change it?

5. Spontaneity is basically your worst nightmare.

Even though you like to believe that you can be spontaneous and let loose, it's pretty much impossible to do things without having a solid plan, or break from tradition and pattern.

Overall, even though we may learn to cope with change, for those of us that really hate it, change can be a lifelong challenge, but it can be good to embrace good change once in a while and let loose, even though we may not like it at first.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
