5 Annoying Things Girls Do

Irritating girly things we all find annoying, even if you're a girl.

5 Annoying Things Girls Do

Sometimes it’s healthy to take a step back and have a good laugh at your own expense. Being a young women in this generation gives me plenty of material to make fun of. Between the narcissism of taking selfies to flaunting the latest trends, girls can make themselves an easy target. In particular during the rise of the seemingly upcoming feminist movement, being able to laugh at myself for doing typical girl things, is both ironic and entertaining. Indulging in these stereotypes is sometimes inevitable but comical regardless.

1.Saying the word “like” too much

Give a listen to any high school girl’s conversation and you will hear the word “like” as if it’s going out of style. Gossiping, no matter how immature, is almost instinctive to girls. For some reason while we are conversing with our friends, the only way we can get our point across, is by saying “like” every other word.

2.We constantly touch our hair

No matter the length, twirling our hair is more than just an anxious habit. Nothing is better than just getting out of the shower and twisting your hair with your finger and brushing through it with your hands. Yet, this activity becomes more of a regular occurrence when you’re playing hair dresser in class, while driving or even in line at a store. It somehow becomes more addictive than eating chocolate while you have cramps; which is a totally separate issue..

3.Being indecisive about our clothes

Even though our closets are overflowing with options, we somehow never seem to have anything to wear. Shopping is usually a regular thing, so there’s never a shortage of outfits. Yet somehow, finding an appropriate ensemble everyday is more complicated than college math homework. It takes me, on average, about four clothes changes before arriving on a satisfactory outfit.

4.Going to the bathroom in herds

Whether you’re at a dinner or a get together, going to the bathroom alone when you’re among females at a social event, is unheard of. This is our time to pee for the second time in twenty minutes, talk trash really quickly, see how bad our make-up looks and adjust our annoying bras. To everyone else, this is highly irritating. To us, it’s normal.

5.Strutting instead of walking

All of the above reasons, I can identify with… However, I would rather walk than strut. Nothing is more irritating to girls, than seeing other girls strutting their hips. There’s no reasonable explanation, it just is. There are so many other ways to get people’s attention than blatantly swaying your hips and keeping the posture of a diva. Acting like you’re sporting designer outfits on the runway when you’re just walking down the street, is a little much. Regular walking will suffice.

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?
