10 Misconceptions Guys Have About Girls

I am not making these up.

1. Girls do in fact grow body hair.


Friend told me about how one of his friends once got confused when he saw women's Venus razors in a grocery store. Thought it was a new and dumb idea.

"It's not like they got hair."

"...Yeah, they do."

"What, no they don't. I've never seen it once."

*Holds up razor* "Ya know why? It's cause of these!"

We do in fact grow body hair. Most of us just don't like the feeling of it so we get rid of it.

2. Periods actually do cause us legitimate pain.

Never make fun of a girl's period. Never make "time of the month" or "pms" jokes. They're not funny! We are in pain for nearly a week every month and are sometimes nearly in tears if we don't take enough pain killers. And we will go through this for the majority of our lives. Also, lady products are not evil. So stop acting like the world will end if you have to touch a package of them. I know too many guys that won't help out their wives or girlfriends and shop for them because they don't want to touch them. It's sad and pathetic. Grow up. Periods happen.

3. Breaking a nail.


Breaking a nail is actually pretty painful. Runners or athletes would know this because sometimes they can lose toenails in their sport. For girls, it's not only the physical pain of having a long nail snap off, but also (if you're OCD) then you have to cut all the other nails to match. And that really sucks if you'd been growing them out for a while to make them look nice.

4. Bras.

Contrary to popular belief girls do not just wear fancy bras for men, we wear them for ourselves and to support these massive weights hanging off our chest. These over glorified milk jugs need support.

5. Wearing makeup isn't a form of lying to you.


I have no idea how many guys I've seen or heard say this and even some girls and it's not okay. Girls wear makeup to feel good about themselves or for the fun of it, and it's not always to impress or "trick" you. So quit acting like everything we do is supposed to make you feel good or impress you.

6. The whole "nice guys finish last" thing is really old.

Just stop it. Quit your complaining and grow up already. Nice guys do not finish last and the fact that you act so entitled and whiny when we don't want to be your girlfriend even though you acted "so chivalrous" makes you not a nice guy. Did you ever consider just being a decent person for the sake of being decent? Stop expecting us to put out just because you were nice to us. Don't just act like a gentleman, be a gentleman.

7. Girls are so confusing.


Yes, I'll agree with you on this one. And sometimes we can't even understand our own secret girl codes. Sometimes when I say I'm fine I actually am, and other times I'm dying inside but I can't say anything because then I'll start ranting and be called crazy. So better to just skip that whole mess.

8. Showing you care.

Spouses, boyfriends, so on, we girls don't need a ton of gifts or flowers or anything like that to know that you love us. Just show us with small things like helping us clean, taking out the garbage without us having to ask, or just spontaneous kisses and asking how our day has been. We know you love us. But it's also nice to know and see it in real ways.

9. Girls inherently like pink.


Basic, but needs to be said. Not every girl fits into this perfect, pretty mold made of glitter and pink plastic crap.

10. Words can be worse than actions.

Something that so many guys don't understand it that if you are an important, respected person in our life (husband, boyfriend), and you make just one bad comment about us or something we like, then it will forever change the way we think about it. Example: make one silly joking comment at us using the word ugly, it will take years of telling us that we're beautiful to make us actually feel it again.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
