Are you the girl who still sleeps with a pillow pet, lives according to the love path Troy and Gabriella have set, or still watches "Bratz?" If you have answered yes to any of these, you should continue reading this article. Growing up is hard, and letting go of all of the fabulous bedazzled gauchos, Polly Pockets, and Hannah Montana microphones is a phase we all unfortunately have to go through. Some of us can't let go of certain things and I am here to identify a few of those things many of us girls have a hard time giving up to adulthood.
1. Singing to the Cheetah Girls.
No you are not Galleria, you don’t have Dorinda’s dance moves, or Aqua’s twang, or Chanel’s sass. On a Friday night, you should not be in a room with friends trying to copy the cheetah girls dance moves. Pretending you are in Barcelona strutting through the streets is not going to help you with the current drama in your life.
2. Calling your mom just to tell her you have Bieber Fever.
When your mom compares this statement to your 14 year old sister's life, you know there is a problem. Watching the Justin Bieber movie on repeat for a few days in your life and feeling like the only cure to this fever is to be Justin’s one less lonely girl is not going to happen baby because what do you mean by that? He is sorry but right now in your life you just need to worry about how you are going to love yourself.
3. Snowball fights in the dorms.
It’s one thing to have a snowball fight outside but it is a completely different situation when the snow gets brought indoors. Beds become damp, floors become slippery and people become cold. Throwing snow at innocent people while indoors is a no no and is something that we are taught in kindergarten not to do.
4. Try to wrestle boys.
You will end up being picked up, thrown onto the couch, basically demolished into pieces and something of yours will get stolen. End of story.
5. Taking naps more often than a 18 month old baby.
When the highlight of your day surrounds around your nap time, you should be alarmed. This is our youth and the time in our lives when we are taking full advantage of all the time in the world. We are supposed to be lively and full of energy discovering who we are, not under the covers dreaming about the Jonas Brothers.
