Things We Can Do Even Though We're Girls

"That's not very lady-like."

"A woman should not be doing that."

"You throw like a girl!"

Ladies, we have all heard things like this once or twice before in our life. This is subtle sexism, and it is very real in today's society. Subtle sexism is not always recognized, even though it seems to happen to us on nearly a daily basis.

No matter what society tells you, these are things you can do... even though you're a girl.

1. Play video games

Yes, we can just be as good as any other boy in Call of Duty; and no, we won't do it just to impress boys. Some of us actually like playing video games.

2. Be good at math

And we can even use our math skills to be engineers, too.

3. Aggressive and forward

Not all women have a passive and calm personality. If you irk us, we do have the ability to fight back full fire... so, watch out.

4. Use tools

We can use a screw driver or a hammer. We know how to hit the nail on the head.

5. Cut the grass

Seriously, why is this mainly a guy thing? You mow that lawn, girl.

6. Eat... a ton

Why, yes, I will have a double cheeseburger with extra bacon. Also, can I have a milkshake to go with it?

7. Work a full time job... and be a mom

If dad's can do it... why can't we? We'll work our butt off Monday through Friday and love our children each and every minute.

8. Fix a flat tire

Show us the ropes and we'll fix that tire all by our self.

9. Pay for a date

We can buy the movie tickets or pay for dinner instead of relying on our boyfriend's wallet.

10. Be Independent

Watch us buy our own house, have a full time job, and live a satisfying, independent life.

If a man says you can't do something "because you're a girl," do it anyway and show them what you're really made of.

Who run the world?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
