Single Girl Anthem

I'm right there too.

Single Girl Anthem
Molly Woolworth

Alright guys, this is going to be a little different. I'm writing this whole thing as a mostly joke. I mean the humor comes in the truth. I wanted to write this as the "Single Girl Anthem" because as a single girl, it's pretty true. The effort is there, but not always the most successful of methods is employed. And I wear this outfit a lot. I mean a lot. This is basically my morning routine. Here's a peak into the secret world of Molly. It's not a very exciting world.

Should I wear make-up today? Who am I kidding? I don't have anyone to impress. But wait. Yes I do. Do I want to get up at 6:40 before my eight o'clock to wear make-up though? Is it really worth it? Molly, our future husband could be in that eight o'clock class. Slow down, we're a freshman. But for how long? A year. Get back to the task. I guess some foundation wouldn't be that bad...

What should I wear today? I can see my leggings enticing me from the corner... No. I can't. I've worn leggings too many times this week. Someone is going to take notice. Okay, okay. I'll wear jeans. But which shirt? Which shirt says "I'm cute and wife material."? Molly, why would a shirt need to say I'm wife material? Because I am! Not really, my dorm is a mess. Besides, I'm here to get my education. That comes first. I know, but I just like the option to be open. It's not open. It's never been open. Maybe I should wear a dress. Maybe I should wear eyeliner. Great point. Flannel it is.

Okay, okay. Hair. I can do my hair. It's short, there's not that much to do. Oh, but I took my shower last night. I have a fro. A straight, ridiculous fro. Okay, I should do something. Do bobby pins work? And.... I look like an alien. Alright. That's not going to work. There's always a ponytail. I love my baby ponytail. It's so cute and little. That works.

Shoes... Shoesshoesshoes.... Okay. If I wear my red converse, I don't have to tie them, but my navy ones are more toned down. They match everything better. Oh, but what if it's hot today? And socks don't work well with these pants... Alright, I guess I should just go with Chacos. I mean, they literally go with everything. Not to mention, I just painted my toenails. Who am I kidding? I was always going to wear my Chacos. They're my favorite.

Alright let's do a quick run down of my outfit. Let's see... I have my hair in that half-ponytail. It doesn't look that well put together, but I guess it's more about the use than the look. I put foundation on! I don't look like I didn't go to bed last night because of homework at well past midnight. I have on one of my favorite and most comfy flannels. I love this flannel. And look! Denim jeans instead of leggings! That's something! Plus my Chacos! I love my Cha- Wait a second. Didn't I just wear something like this... Yep. There's my dirty flannel. In front of the closet. It didn't even make it to the bed where I store my pajamas. I wore something almost exactly like this yesterday. Same thing as usual. A flannel, jeans, and Chacos. My hair is in this ponytail and almost no makeup on. My future husband has a lot to deal with.

He's gonna love me.

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.
