Why It's OK To Be High Maintenance

We all have pet peeves, and higher expectations than the norm, but that is okay.

Why It's OK To Be High Maintenance
Lady One

We are clean, organized and needy. We may feel the need to be very hygienic and put together every day. We can’t stand when there are messes around the house, or in small places. When we need something, we will usually get it ourselves, or ask someone to do it or get it for us. Things must go our way and only our way. Remember, women are always right, just leave it at that. We have a high pride in the way our appearance looks. We can be difficult or challenging to handle. We all have pet peeves, and higher expectations than the norm, and that is okay. We do not have an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, it is just the humans we are. You can’t tell me that we are the only people in the world like this, because men can be this way too. Either way, we don’t care, we know we are high maintenance. Being the way we are, can result in being responsible, and honest. We don’t carry around our opinions, we let loose.

High maintenance women are difficult, but we have goals. We are the kind of women who keep ourselves active every day. Whether that be running errands, or getting up to shower, we continuously have something to do repetitively. We aren’t boring, we are exciting and energetic. We can be very sweet and social, but if you piss us off, that’s your fault. It is still okay to be high maintenance.

It is OK, we have dreams. We have things we go for and we won’t stop until we do it. It just means we are more likely to do your laundry and plan the day than sit around and wait for nothing. We are the type of women who like the attention and affection. If we are speaking to you, make eye contact, or you will have one unhappy lady. If we are sad, comfort us, we don’t like to be ignored. Showing that you care about how we feel makes us all feel better. If it’s our birthday, we are the type to make that day one hundred percent about us, and only us. Did I mention high maintenance women are also selfish at times? Not all the time, but sometimes. Money isn’t an importance to us, living life in an organized, and healthy way is what gets our attention. Money is still nice here and there, so men, do not get any ideas. Overall high maintenance women are successful and smart. We know how to be sneaky, and be serious too.

It’s OK because it is our personality. High maintenance, teaches us to care about ourselves and our lives. It teaches us that we have a future ahead to be ready to take on. We have men or children that we might have to care for one day. It teaches us the meaning of striving for your goals, and not stopping. It tells us women that we are made of gold. We can be anyone we want. We are needy, but that is okay. We are organized, but that is okay. We are honest and blunt, but that is okay. Women have to express themselves which makes us feminine.

So, the next time you meet a high maintenance women, tell her thank you. Thank you for being the woman that has goals, responsibilities, and dreams. Although, tell her thank you, thank you for being clean, cause you will have a nice house one day. Tell her thank you for being put together too, because who doesn’t want to look good when they go out in public? Overall, tell her thank you for being a woman, because if it wasn’t for her expectations, your laundry might not be done next week.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
