8 Things All Stubborn Girls Know, And Accept, To Be True

Maybe you're too stubborn to even admit that you're stubborn.

So, if you clicked on this then you've probably been told once or twice that you are "too stubborn." Well, same.

OK, so maybe your too stubborn to even admit that you are stubborn, but if your not sure then if you've experienced most of these things then your probably stubborn, just like me.

1. That eye roll you make when someone tells you to "be flexible"

Eyeroll

I mean we had a plan, so why deter from it?

I get it though, things change and revisions need to be made, but we all know how annoying it can be to have a good plan, and then someone wants to change it.

2. You get annoyed when people tell you for the 100th time that you're "hard headed"

Goat

What am I, a goat?

I prefer the term "driven" because when you stick to something, then you get it done.

3.  Group projects can be a particular struggle 

Group project

I'm all for listening to others ideas, but sometimes it is difficult if you genuinely believe that yours is the best, but the group won't listen.

4. You say "I told you so" a lot 

I told you so

We've all been there - when you know in your heart that you are right about something but then someone else insists differently, only to be proven wrong.

Sometimes you just need to add that "I told you so" in.

5. It's hard to admit when you're wrong 

Right

We all hate being wrong, but for stubborn people, it can be particularly challenging.

Personally, I'll acknowledge if I am wrong, but it is hard to accept.

6. People assume that we think we are always right 

Mean Girls

It may seem that way, but honestly we know that we don't know what's even going on sometimes.

We just come off as thinking that we know what in the heck is going on.

 7. We know we're too stubborn for our own good 

Dog

We've been told this plenty of times before, so we know that we're stubborn, trust me.

We also know that being stubborn isn't our best trait, but it's not horrible to have either.

Our stubbornness can come out as perseverance and drive, but it can occasionally just be plain hardheadedness.

8. We feel bad about it 

Sorry

Again, we know it's not our best trait, so we do feel guilty over it sometimes.

We don't mean to be difficult or to give people hard time, it's just a part of who we are.

Those of us who feel this way do acknowledge that we want to try and change it, so we try and manage it.

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.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
