Being a girl is great, but being a guy has its advantages.

Reasons Why We Should Envy Guys

Let's face it. It's hard being a girl. Sometimes it almost feels like guys have it easy, you know? They don't have to worry about the things we girls have to deal with. Not sure what I mean? Let's take a look. Here are a list of why we (girls) should envy guys.

1. Let's get real: They don't have to pop a baby out.

This one is huge. They don't have to worry about giving birth to another life. They don't have to worry about the side effects of pregnancy like swollen feet, a mad phase of hunger, morning sickness, weight gain, crying, excessive peeing and excessive farting. They have it easy that's all.

2. Their eyebrows don't have to be on fleek.

This talk about eyebrows is not news. It's like the only thing the media ever talks about nowadays. Guys can have the most bushiest, unshaped eyebrows and nobody would care. Nobody would pay attention to their eyebrows. But for girls, it's like we have to make sure they're on fleek all day, every day. It's almost like our faces get inspected more than guys. Nope. Not fair.

3. They don't get catcalled.

Sure, maybe some guys get catcalled, but we girls get it worse. It's like we can't even walk graciously down the streets without some gross dude checking out our butts and whistling. It's not going to make us magically gravitate towards you. It actually either terrifies us or makes us mad. Honestly, what do guys think we're going to do when they cat call us? "Oh my! That fine, young, gentleman down yonder is calling for me. I shall proceed to walk towards him." No. We will literally speed walk away from you as fast as we can.

4. They don't have to worry about acne as much.

OK. Is it just me or does it seem like guys don't suffer from acne as much as girls do? It's like they've been blessed by Jesus himself or something. Seriously. This hurts me so much that I cry just thinking about their perfectly, blessed skin.

5. They don't get an "Aunt Flo" visiting them every month.

Yup. I decided to bring this one up especially. They don't know what it's like having our life bleed out in front of us for a week straight every month. They don't know what cramps feel like. At all. Be jealous. Be very jealous.

As you see, these are just a few reasons why girls should be envious of guys. It's like they don't have to worry about anything. It just doesn't seem fair. But you know what? We shouldn't be that upset because in the end being a girl is awesome.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
