That Tomboy Girly-Girl Life
Meagan's iPhone

Being a tomboy isn't the worst thing in the world for me. I grew up with three brothers, so my life was mostly about learning things like how to tube the correct way and how to change my own tires, rather than what shoes to buy and how to apply eyeliner.

If you're like me, you're a cross between a tomboy and a girly girl. Like, you don't really want to go shopping a lot, but you don't always want to play in dirt, either. Actually, I hate shopping all the time, so I don't want to go at all, honestly.

I enjoy my sweatpants, leggings, and t-shirts. I could live my whole life without ever dealing with a pair of heels or skirts. Not my thing.

However, I don't mind wearing dresses. Mostly because it's one less piece of clothing that I have to match with. And, as long as they're comfortable. I am not wearing a dress that's super short and revealing.

As previously mentioned, I hate shopping. I don't like trying clothes on in dressing rooms, I hate having to go back and forth to get a different size, and I really can't stand having to wait in line just to buy one thing. Seriously. I'd rather just sit there and watch someone else do that, while I eat.

I'm not afraid to eat a huge cheeseburger and fries in front of anyone, and I don't really get why anyone else would be, either...

Food is one of my best friends, and I'm not ashamed. Gotta have that strawberry milkshake.

I never was put in pageants, or shown how to foo-foo myself up. I don't do heels, and I look like a giraffe learning to walk when I attempt to walk in them. I barely know how to apply my own makeup.

Like, I don't even understand what "highlighting" and "contouring" are. I think I learned how to apply mascara without touching my eyeball for the first time about 2 years ago. Yes, I'm serious.

My entire makeup routine probably takes about 7-10 minutes to complete. It's a miracle that I know how to do it at all.

I never really watched sports, but since I've met my boy, I've gotten into baseball and sometimes football. I'd rather watch a baseball game now than "Fixer Upper".

If the choice were beer or a fruity drink, I'd probably go fruity, though.

I don't know how to make my hair perfect, or not frizzy during the summer. It's usually up in a ponytail or a bun, so I don't have to deal with it. I hate using curling irons, but I'm not always opposed to straighteners.

Honestly, I don't even know what kind of girl I am sometimes.

I just go with the flow and I'm sticking to it.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
