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.

Think of everything that you've heard about college... and completely forget it.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Your mom: you can't live with her, but you can't live without her. You love your mom, but she is insanely predictable. Here is a list of things your mom has probably done.

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
