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".

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
