Before I sit here and complain about what I don't like about my gender, just know I'd take this body over a boy's any day!
1. Nails chipping the day after you paint them:
AKA, the most annoying thing ever! This drives me nuts because I love for my nails to look nice, and I spend time painting them myself versus paying a random person to do it for me.
2. Always expected to look flawless:
Excuse me, but I am about to enter my third year of college. I'm not sure which bags are bigger, the ones under my eyes or the ones hanging off of my clothes. If I want to wear baggy sweats and a guy-sized sweatshirt to class, I will.
3. Makeup:
Nobody's business if I wear it, and nobody's business if I don't. Guys, you can stop saying we wear it to impress you — you're just pissed because you can't cover your blemishes/ugliness.
4. Always judged ... for everything!:
Girls can be pretty cruel in this department. But guys don't have a filter on their mouths, either. Sometimes it's just better to keep things in the privacy of your own mind.
5. Self-conscious shopping:
Recently, I noticed that the media has been surfacing American Eagle's size change in clothing, specifically shorts. A girl wrote a review online saying that her size 4 shorts from one year ago, are now considered a size 10. Wow, that explains right there why most girls feel the way they do.
6. Periods:
One week a month of hell. Literally hell, burning inside of your uterus. At least that's how I describe it.
7. Feelings/Hormones:
Here, have some of them. Because my body is overpopulated with them!
8. Drama:
One day cannot go by without hearing "did you hear..." (insert whatever pointless sh*t is being said).
9. Stress/Anxiety:
I know everyone experiences this, but I feel like females, especially in my age range, really suffer from it. Not to mention all of our worrying causes us to break out a ridiculous amount. K COOL.
10. Relationships:
Do I want one? Yeah. Does anyone else? Probably not. I'm in college, those don't exist there. #hookupseverywhere
11. Catching the feels for a guy friend:
Well sh*t ... that wasn't supposed to happen. Now to enjoy awkward encounters.
12. Being taken seriously:
This is just a general statement. If I say I want to do something amazing one day that requires a lot of knowledge, effort and skills, then I will! Shut up, I will do it.
13. Shaving:
Sadly, it's currently summer so this is a must-do everyday kind of thing. Counting down the days for No-Shave-November.
Although these obstacles are often annoying, I love being a girl. After all, Beyoncé says we run the world.
