To The Girls Who Can Do Both

Surprisingly Low Maintenance (Sometimes)

248
To The Girls Who Can Do Both
The Darling Detail

Sometimes I can’t be bothered to change out of my pajamas all day. Sometimes I live on fast food for days at a time (and loving every fried minute of it). Sometimes makeup seems like the biggest waste of time. Why bother with nail polish (I’ll get too impatient to let it dry, end up messing it up, and peeling all of it off)? My laundry pile is as tall as I am. I’m a fan of making weird (and I mean weird) faces and dancing in the aisles of the grocery store. The trendiest I’ll ever be is wearing shirts that are so oversized, it looks like I don’t have shorts on underneath (but I totally do). My ideal Friday night is hanging with the fam.

But that’s not always how it is.

Other times, I could spend hours watching makeup tutorials online. Other times, I’ll try on random outfits in my room just for fun. Other times, doing my hair boosts my confidence a good ten points (fifteen points if I actually do a good job). Other times, I’d pick skinny jeans over sweat pants. Other times, I’m taking pictures specifically for Instagram and editing them to my liking. Other times, I’ll be out all day with friends, laughing obnoxiously loud (and annoying people around us). I could easily do some major damage at the mall in a few short hours. I’m not ashamed to say Starbucks is my beverage destination of choice (and yes I do enjoy a nice PSL). I relate to Clueless on a spiritual level.

Sometimes I literally don’t care, and other times I want you to applaud how even my eyeliner is. It’s confusing to be me sometimes I guess.

I kinda like it though.

So here’s to the girls who are an absolute mess half of the time and Elle Woods the rest of the time. The girls who feel just as confident running to class with their wet hair in a bun as they do in a dress.

I mean “get you a girl that can do both”, right?

I've lived a whole 21 years with an RBF (Resting Bitch Face), so naturally, I go through most of these struggles on a daily basis.

And before you ask, yes I'm fine. No, I'm not mad. This is just my face, so take it or leave it! To those of you who have been #blessed with an RBF, you'll probably relate to these more than you'd like to:

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?

Why Theater Kids Are the Greatest People Ever

Supportive and spontaneous human beings are the best.

Theater Kids

Throughout school, the theater department has always been my go-to place with go-to people when I need advice, a dance party, or just someone to listen to me vent.

You never know what's going to happen when you're dealing with theatre or what kind of characters you'll encounter. We have too much fun doing anything! One time in my senior year acting class, we spent an entire class period watching Bob's Burgers, and it was the greatest class period ever.
