Compliment Like The Drunk Girl In The Bathroom

You don't have to be drunk in a bathroom to compliment someone.

Drunk girls in the bathroom–we've all been there. Okay maybe some of us haven't but we've all seen the memes and posts about how nice they are and all the compliments that are exchanged. I wholeheartedly will always try to be that drunk girl just minus the drunk part (mostly). I don't know about everyone else but compliments from other girls are so much better than compliments from guys. Don't get me wrong I LOVE compliments especially from my boyfriend or one of my guy friends that treat me more like "one of the guys." I think it would be quite difficult to find someone who doesn't like compliments at least a little. They are confidence boosters and show that some people are actually taking notice of the makeup you worked hard on, or the hair it took a half an hour to curl, the outfit you put together that may be tough to feel confident in or even the eye color or hair type/texture it took YEARS for you to grow to love. But there's something about compliments from other girls that makes getting the compliment SO much better.

In a society that is based around putting girls in competition with each other, it's refreshing to find other girls who are willing to take the time to compliment you and mean it. It may be awkward and uncomfortable and the girl giving the compliment may get looked at like she has 3 heads but not only does it give the receiver a good feeling about themselves it can brighten the person giving the compliments' day as well. I know that when another girl compliments me I have the biggest stupid smile on my face for the rest of the day and when I compliment someone the knowledge that that girl is going to think about that and smile gives me a specific type of joy few other things give me. That compliment can go so much farther than you think. You never know what is going on in someone else's life and maybe the next time she goes to wear an outfit she was insecure about she'll remember the compliment you gave her and know that the outfit DOES look good or a girl who spends time every morning straightening her hair but one time wears it curly will know the next time she doesn't have the time or effort to straighten it that maybe her perception of it being ugly isn't true.

Taking the extra time to walk a few steps out of your way to tell another girl you like her hair or tell the girl who has probably been at work since 8 am and wants to go home and sleep that her makeup looks great could be just what that girl needs. It could be the one good thing in her day and knowing I did that is why I will always be the "drunk girl in the bathroom" giving you that much needed or much appreciated compliment because let's face it there will come a day when some girls highlight will be poppin' and she will be the one who can tell you if it's the cheaper (but always reliable) NYX or if it's the Anastasia glow kit that makes your stomach hurt when the cashier tells you your total. Or maybe some girl on the other side of Starbucks will have a shirt that almost exactly matches one in an outfit you've been gushing over on your "Dream Closet" Pinterest board that you've been shopping for FOREVER but seems impossible to find and guess who knows where to buy it...yep that girl does.

Not only does it boost confidence but it can lead to actual friendships. I know it seems crazy but giving a compliment is how I met one of my best friends and future roommate. One of my legitimate best friends came from me complimenting her fake nails one day in math class.

So compliment that girl in the bathroom or the lady organizing shelves at Tjmaxx or the girl who you always seem to get stuck in the elevator with on the way up to your room. It could actually be one of the best decisions of your life and okay while it isn't always going to be that groundbreaking or life changing it will make that girl feel good about herself and isn't that something all of us could use?

So go forth readers and bring out your inner bathroom drunk girl. I promise it'll be worth it.

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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
