Why I Love Deirks Bentley's "Different For Girls"

Yes, I'm a girl. Yes, I love it, but I really love this song by Deirks Bentley too.

I was on my way home from work the other day when I had heard a country song that had resonated with me. Of course, it's country so of course it's gonna pull on the heart strings. The song is called 'Different for Girls,' by Dierks Bentley. Sit back and read as I add commentary to every lyric that I can relate to. But I have to say before I start, I love this song, and it couldn't be more real.

“She don't throw any t-shirt on and walk to a bar"
I can't do this because I'm not old enough to.... But I'd probably do this.

“She don't text her friends and say, "I gotta get laid tonight."
One night stands aren't really my thing. Unless they just naturally happen. Which is highly unlikely, might I add.

“She don't say, "It's okay, I never loved him anyway."
That's true 100%! I fall pretty hard and fast in love.

“She don't scroll through her
phone just looking for a Band-Aid”

I just look for my mom’s number because I'd want her to bring me sushi or a good home cooked meal.

“different for girls when their hearts get broke
They can't tape it back together with a whiskey and coke

Well, I don't like whiskey and coke but I do like RBVs. But to each their own.

“They don't take someone home and act like it's nothing
Yeah I don't really do that, but if I did I probably wouldn't admit it like a guy would.

“They can't just switch it off every time they feel something”
Even when I feel like I can, I still remember the moment he met my family or the moment that he walked through my front door for the first time. It's like Niagara Falls after that.

“A guy gets drunk with his friends and he might hook up”
Yeah, because drunken sex and STDs sound great, or a possible pregnancy scare sounds swell.

“She don't sleep all day and leave the house a wreck
She don't have the luxury to let herself go

Depends on the type of girl. I mean, I'll sleep all day and not do a single thing. But again, to each their own. To be quite frank, I’m not as domesticated as I probably should be.

“It's different for girls
Well duh, who do you think we are...? A bunch of guys with penises? That's why we're girls with vaginas and feelings.

Yeah, it’s different for girls. And to be real, for us girls it’s harder than it may look to get over an ex or a fling or an almost boyfriend or whatever the relationship may be. But just from my experience, it is hard and even if things don’t plan out the way you’d think, listening to this song and making it fit for you is worth it. As long as it makes you smile. Rather than crying. So thanks to this dude for producing this song for us girls to laugh along with…. Or maybe even cry…. But that should be the last stop. Last resort.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
