12 Truths Every Stereotypical 'Girly Girl' Knows All Too Well

It’s okay to be the stereotypical girly girl. It doesn’t mean you’re dumb and fall into every category the movies portray us as. Just because you’re a girly girl who loves everything pink doesn’t mean you eat a salad everyday. Chances are you probably eat like a grown man. But, a lot of the stereotypes are true for most girly girls.

1. Wearing the most uncomfortable shoes even if they leave you with blisters. Beauty is pain, ladies.

You feel like you have been walking on pins and needles all day, but want to show off those cute new heels you just got. So you’re just going to have to deal with the immense pain I guess.

2. Your favorite color actually is NOT pink, yet you still want everything in pink.

3. Wearing things that aren’t weather/event appropriate.

Wearing thin mittens in negative degree weather because you pick cute over practical. Or, maybe you wore a dress and heels on a 14 hour car ride.

4. Falling in love with the finer things in life.

Everything you touch in a store seems to be five hundred dollars over your budget. Yeah, it’s a struggle. You already know you need to make bank in your future career to support your lifestyle.

5. Getting dressed up even if you’re not going anywhere.

You know, all those times you took an hour to get ready just to go through the Dunkin’ Donuts drive thru.

6. Wanting everything in either a floral pattern or covered in sparkles.

Sometimes you will try to pick something plain out, but you just can’t help yourself!

7. Waking up 3 hours earlier than you actually need to, to get ready.

It’s tough, but you know you just can’t walk around campus looking like a zombie. You just can’t.

8. You never skip an eyebrow waxing. NEVER.

Because you just can’t risk anyone thinking you’re related to gorillas.

9. Having to pick what clothes to pack for a trip.

This is probably some of the hardest decisions in your life. You can’t choose between your favorite shirts and once you do you’ll regret it wish you packed the other one instead. You also probably pack five backup outfits for a three day trip, just to be on the safe side.

10. Having multiples of the same products.

You definitely have at least 3 different curling irons: A normal 1 inch wand, a travel sized one, and a thicker wand for those desired loose wavy curls.

11. You never skip a facial.

You know the importance of renewing your skin and freeing your pores. Some people just don’t get it.

12. Lastly, you know there’s a difference between sparkles and glitter.

Sparkles refract light and glitter reflects light.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
