Who says you need to be? Screw gender roles.

9 Signs You're Not Exactly "Ladylike"
Michaela Walsh

1. Your wardrobe is at least 50% T-shirts.

Most of your outfits consist of jeans and a T-shirt, or a hoodie.

2. You've been told you "dress like a lesbian"

If wearing flannels and beanies makes me a lesbian, then I'm the biggest lumberjack beanie-wearing lesbian there is.

3. When you do actually dress up, everyone is shocked.


You've probably heard "Wow, you actually look like a girl today!" so many times. Or you might get a ton of compliments because nobody's used to you wearing much else besides jeans and a t-shirt.

4. The closest thing to dress shoes you own is Converse or Vans. Maybe combat boots.


"What do you mean I can't wear Vans at my prom/graduation/wedding/funeral??"

"How the hell does anyone walk in heels??"

5. You're obsessed with food.


And there's probably no way you'd order a salad on a date just to seem more like a "lady" and not the messy-eating food lover you probably are. Whoever you're dating can deal with it.

6. You have no idea how to do makeup/hair well. Or you're just too lazy.


You probably either suck at doing your makeup or hair, or you're just too lazy to do it half the time. The extra sleep in the morning is more appealing than having perfect hair or winged eyeliner anyway.

7. You swear constantly.

8. You probably don't carry a purse.

This can be kind of an issue because while you don't carry enough things to need a purse, it won't fit in the tiny pockets that women's jeans have, if your pants even have pockets at all. You're either forced to carry things in your hands all the time or carry a purse just for your phone, wallet, and keys. You see no point in carrying a purse 90% of the time.

9. You don't know how to flirt.


When you try to flirt it usually comes out as "uh, I like your face".

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
