Let's be real here, being a girl sucks. And no, before you ask, this isn't one of those normal feminist articles. I'm not going to yell at men with an Odyssey Article because they don't give me what I think I deserve when I nagged my boyfriend into doing the dishes earlier so I didn't have to do it. Not because my nails were wet, or my period is bad, just because I'm lazy. No, that isn't what this is at all. I'm just going to tell you six reasons why being a girl actually sucks. Trust me. You'll wanna hear this.

1. Vaginas.

That's right. I said it, the word that makes people uncomfortable and makes the world go round. Having the organ that literally grows other humans is such a burden.

2. We know where everything is.

How many times have you called your mom to ask her how to cook something, or knew the second she walked in the room she would find what you just spent 40 minutes looking for? Yeah, all females have to learn this skill in our secret female class. What a pain.

3. Make up.

We're creative enough to paint on our faces every single morning before work or school and make ourselves look however we want. We do it for ourselves, but men think we do it for them. Like why even spend my time being that talented at something?

4. Dresses.

The fact that this piece of clothing doesn't include pants. Honestly... why would I dare wear that?

5. Having long hair.

Shampooing, conditioning, brushing, curling, straightening, braiding, throwing it into a bun-- and thats just once a day. Taking care of long hair is so hard, and we just do it because we like the way it sways in the wind, or the smell of coconuts following us around all day. Wish we could just get buzz cuts.

6. Having jobs.

Why wouldn't I want to be a stay at home mom? Why would I want to have children, then go back to work? Why wouldn't I want to just take care of a house and the kids and let my husband do all the work and make all the money for me so I can do nothing? Why would I want to be independent? Hell no, don't know why those woman in the history books fought for woman's rights. I'd rather watch Netflix all day.

7. We get free stuff.

We know how to get a free drink at the bar, or that making ourselves cry will get us out of a speeding ticket, or that we can use our period as an excuse for being late to class. But it sucks that we have this power over the male population.

8. We can't just have one "style."

Like males, who have very distinct styles that they tend to stick too, females can go from sweatpants and a hoodie, to a crop top and high waisted jeans, to a t-shirt and work boots, to high heels and a pencil skirt and not get strange looks. It's so hard to dress in the morning, because I have to dress how I'm feeling, rather than just throw the first two things on that I see.

9. Stereotypes.

Remember the white girl stereotype? With our comfy ugg boots and delicious starbucks and or beautiful white iPhones? I don't get strange looks when I order the pink drink from starbucks, because it's almost expected of me. Its not uncommon for girls to have glittery nail polish, and that disney princess phone case will definitely get some compliments. Totally sucks that I can do what I want and not be judged for it.

10. Not having to wear ties.

Because to be honest, I really just want to have to wear one of those stiff feeling dress shirts with a piece of fabric tightly tied around the collar, all the way up to my neck. Being able to show my cleavage is just so old.


This whole thing was a satire. Being a female is the bomb.com, and truly, you should be jealous if you're not. Things like the pay gap, not being able to lift that refrigerator into the truck alone and crying because our cramps hurt so bad might be a thing, but guess what. You couldn't live without us, because if woman disappeared, you wouldn't be able to reproduce... let alone find your favorite collared shirt.

So, who run the world?

28 Daily Thoughts of College Students

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
