6 College Struggles Only Girls Who Went To A All-Girls School Understand
Julie Perry

Being able to attend an all girls school was one of the biggest blessings in my life. But the transition from that to a huge public university was definitely a struggle but life's not easy right?

1. Realizing That Not Everyone Is Religious (or just knows about religion)

Even though I am not a practicing Catholic I went to catholic school my whole life so I know when it's Ash Wednesday. But I definitely knew I was not at my catholic high school when I said to my friends, "OMG guys its Ash Wednesday today" I can tell you I have never gotten more have never gotten more blank stares in my life. It was even better when my friend asked me "what are the ashes made of? Bodies?". Or the one night when I forcibly read the creation story to my roommate because she has never heard it before.

2. Putting Makeup on Everyday

I am a huge believer that everyone is beautiful all the time and makeup is not necessary however I do wear it often in college. Sometimes in college sleep is not your friend and sadly I don't want to look like the hobo I did in high school. The fact that I get up ever morning and put makeup on my face that I usually mess up is the worst. Looking like a hobo was where I truly thrived.

3. Picking out Clothes = Biggest Struggle of My Life

I can not be more serious when I say picking out clothes will be the death of me. I actually sit in front of my dresser and think "what the hell am I going to wear today". Being able to wake up five seconds before I left for school knowing that I will wear exactly the same ratty old uniform I've been wearing for the past four years was the best feeling in the world.

4. Boys Boys Boys


They are the MOST confusing thing on the planet and I feel those two GIFs really put my two main feelings about them together. Yes, is it the best thing to walk into a class and see a beautiful person. But then I'm just so confused by them not all I will say, but most. I would have truly appreciated a class in highschool like "How to Understand Boys 101".

5. Finding New Friends Who Love Food As Much As Me

Nick is me 90% of the time. During my time in high school if there was something we loved as much as school spirit it was our food. It was weird for me when in the I didn't have enough time for breakfast so I brought my box of cereal to my nine am and got a ton of weird stares. Like girls gotta eat what do you think I would do STARVE, your crazy. Thankfully I was able to find girls that love food (especially brunch) as much as me. Bruch people are the best people.

6. Not Having My Sisters

There is not a day that goes by where I don't miss these ladies. I am forever grateful for them and all the support they have had for me and all my sister from the past four years into the future LOVE YOU LADIES. sko dawgs #senyolo.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
