Yes, I'm High Maintenance

Don't try to convince me that it's a bad thing.

This has been a tough realization for me...but I'm a different breed of woman.

I've decided that it's nothing for me to be ashamed of, or to try to hide from people (as if I could hide it even if I wanted to). It's a part of who I am, it makes me unique...in a weird way. In no way am I conceited, in no way am I stuck up, I'm a good person. I'm just the kind of person with a lot of physical and emotional demands. I can't fathom the thought of sticking my hand in dirty dishwater. It took me 18 years to realize tap water is just like other water (still prefer the filter, if I'm being honest). I function a specific type of way, the way that makes me the happiest. I don't really care how much it may or may not annoy the next person. I'm coming clean with myself and I am coming clean with all of you. I'm a special kind of woman.

The tough kind. The difficult kind. The high maintenance kind.

1. I'm not drinking after you.

2. If it ain't Brazilian I don't want it.

"Why don't you wear your natural hair?" Why don't you mind your own business? Thanks.

3. I like my nails as long as my ex's excuses.

4. Yeah, I love attention.

5. Selfies are a virtue.

6. I change my phone cases based on the mood I'm in.

7. I can hardly afford my favorite mascara.But I'll never go without it.

8. My gas tank will be on E before my eyebrows go un-threaded.

9. I will not be happy if my food touches.

10. I think it's cute when girls try to "compete" with me. Healthy confidence.

11. My birthday is my favorite holiday.

12. You'll hardly ever see me without jewelry. If I could have every piece of jewelry with my name engraved on it... a dream come true.

13. I would love to travel the world.... but the way my picky eating habits are set up...

14. I talk about myself in third person.

15. I take my own blankets to sleepovers.

16. I'm not holding anybody's baby that may or may not drool on me.

17. I'm a drama queen.

18. I always come to slay.

"Who you all dressed up for?" Literally myself, thanks.

19. I'm happily confrontational (in the classiest, sassiest way).

20. When people try to tell me "no"....??? Foreign concept.

So thank you to all the people in my life, I can't imagine I'm an easy task to take on.

(But of course, I'm a worthy one)

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
