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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
