To The Princesses Of The World

You drive me crazy.

To The Princesses Of The World

To the girls in this world who call themselves princesses. To the girls who don't seem to know how to do their own dishes or leave messes all over the place for others to clean up. For the girls that can't seem to leave the house without being dressed to the nines hair and makeup included. Even when that involves going to the gym. To the girls that are constantly losing things that you should never lose even when blackout drunk. To the ones who aren't great at problem solving which is why they always have a man around to do it for them. To the girls that can't seem to hang a picture without the assistance of a man because God forbid you learn how tools work. To the girls who seem to carry this entitled attitude with them wherever they go. You all drive me insane.

You make me feel as if I've been set back hundreds of years in women's rights or as if movements have never taken place to encourage our gender to be more than trophy wives. I sometimes stare at you and wonder "How on Earth can someone be this terrible at life?" The basic life skills you lack are frightening. How have you made it this far in life without someone holding your hand? On the same note I realize that you need someone to hold your hand because you don't know how to get by on your own.

I never thought I would get to meet so many Scarlett O'Haras in my life. I'm terrified to say they still exist in the world. I didn't think I would ever see the day where a man putting a jacket over a puddle so a woman could cross the street would be realistic. I have never seen people so incomplete without a man that they are so busy husband hunting that they forget to figure out who they are as a person. I feel as if I should be negotiating with the guys you see as to what would be an appropriate dowry in exchange for you.

If you live your life this way I strongly wish you would reconsider. It isn't cute that you refer to yourself as a princess or act that way. You aren't five. Speaking of age, I'm going to need you to consider the fact that you are probably at an age where if you got pregnant most people would be happy for you. It won't be cute when your child surpasses you in independence skills. If you need to pretend you can't find a way to get the lid off a jar of pickles and need a big strong man to do it just to stroke his ego. Set your bar higher. You don't need a guy like that. If he treats you like a princess, great, but wouldn't you want someone to treat you like a queen instead?

I wasn't raised to live my life like a princess so I will probably never understand what you find fascinating or gratifying in that lifestyle. But on that note, get your lives together. It's horrifying to watch.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
