Tough Girls Have Feelings Too

And no, we do not want to talk about them.

Tough Girls Have Feelings Too

I like to think of myself as pretty tough. I never typically like to show any more emotion than the typical ones. You will know when I am happy and you will definitely know when I am mad, but it is a little more questionable to tell with all my other emotions. I have no problem telling someone when I am mad, but all the other feelings I do not wish to talk about LIKE EVER. That is just how I am. I know I am not the only girl like this who does not cry watching The Titanic or talk about her emotions literally 24/7. I just know so many more ways I would rather spend my time than talking about my feelings and being bothered by them. Since I am probably not the only girl like this, I wanted to inform everyone that tough girls have feelings too. We just handle them a heck of a lot different than everyone else and avoid ugly Kim K crying as much as possible.

Sure, we may not talk about them all the time. You may have to pull our emotions out of us when we are upset, but we do have them. We just do not like showing them. So do not make us think we have to cry watching The Titanic, and do not make us feel like it is weird that we do not talk about our feelings anytime something happens. Sometimes we cry at weddings and only sometimes, but that is usually due to alcohol consumption. It is okay to not cry, that is totally normal too. When we are upset and if it is important to us, we will be sure to tell you. But we would rather not waste our time crying unnecessary tears or talking about some boy who did us wrong because we know he is a fool for doing it. Just know that we have them and we will talk about them when we want to.

Also for all you girls out there who hate showing emotion, it is okay. It is okay to not be a "normal girl" and not talk about your feelings every second, but just know it is also okay to talk about your feelings when necessary. We all have different ways of going about our emotions, but one thing is for sure we all have feelings, unfortunately.

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?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
