Man, Being A Girl Really Is So Expensive

Everyone knows that having daughters is inevitably more expensive than having sons. There are many reasons as to why this is true, and here are some of them:

1. Getting manicure/pedicures

Not many girls I know can resist going to the nail salon about every week or so and getting a manicure/pedicure! Being pampered is one of the best feelings, and getting your hands and feet massaged is nothing short of a luxury!

2. Getting your eyebrows constantly waxed or threaded

I know that saying your eyebrows are "on fleek" is a trend, but most girls would be lying if they didn't actually love having their eyebrows look amazing. It may be painful and a frequent expense, but it is definitely worth it.

3. Going-out clothes

Growing a collection of going-out clothes is inevitable. It starts with bar/bat mitzvahs and sweet sixteens, but only continues to worsen once you go through high school and into college! We will do anything to not have to repeat an outfit.

4. Shopping at Victoria's Secret

Walking past Victoria's Secret in the mall without going inside is one of the hardest things to do. Especially if they're having their 5 for $25 deal! Going through the bright colored, pretty assortments of bras and underwear is definitely hard to resist.

5. Trips to Sephora

Stepping foot inside Sephora is a very dangerous thing. Especially because of how amazing it smells when you walk inside, you just can't leave! I always find myself walking into Sephora with no makeup on, and walking out with a full face on and a lot less money in my wallet.

6. Hair treatments (Keratin, Brazilian, Japanese)

Most girls want what they can't have, which in many cases is pin-straight or tamed hair! It's almost a miracle that these hair treatments exist! Waking up and not having to flat iron your hair for it to look good is one of the best feelings.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

St. Thomas Aquinas College

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

For some of us, coming to college was the first time we ever had to share a room. It was a big change, but a fun one.

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
