20 Thoughts Every Tomboy Has While Attempting To Do Her Makeup

When I was growing up, I never wanted to play with Barbie Dolls or put on makeup. From sunup to sundown I was outside playing or at a sports practice. Instead of enrolling in dance and learning perfect pirouettes (I learned that word from Dance Moms) and how to get my hair into the perfect bun, I chose karate where we yelled and broke boards with our fists.

So when it came to high school when most of the other girls began getting into clothes and makeup, it comes as no surprise that I had no clue what to do. Here are 20 thoughts that every tomboy has had while attempting to do her makeup:


"Ugh, I have to wear makeup tonight."

 "I'll just look at one of those makeup tutorials on YouTube and will look good in no time."

*While searching on YouTube* "I don't understand why you'd want to put this stuff all over your face."

*Still searching on YouTube* "When you wear lipstick, you have to worry about how you're eating so you don't smear it all around."

"Aha! The perfect look."

*Reading description of video* "I'll need primer, setting spray, highlighter, bronzer, loose and pressed shadows, a shadow base, pigments, eyeliner, lipstick, brow gel, a crease brush, a flat shader brush, a smudge brush, concealer, setting powder, blush..."

*Looks at my grocery store mascara, broken Elf eyebrow gel and one half-melted tube of sample lipstick I got at the mall*  "Well we might have a problem."

"I can make this work."

 "This cannot be that hard."

"Ok this isn't working."

"This mascara expired last year."

"Do I really have to wear makeup tonight?"

"I mean the natural look is in right now."

"I can fix this, I'll just mix some water into the mascara to get the clumps out."

"Well that didn't help. Ok, so we're down to broken Elf eyebrow gel and sample lipstick I got at the mall."

*Tries to apply lipstick, but it crumbles as you press it against your lips* "Ok, so no lipstick."

"I have 5 more minutes to get ready, what do I do now?"

"I'm not wearing any makeup, they'll get what they get."

"Wait, I have to do something with my hair? Maybe I can find a braiding tutorial on YouTube!"

"It cannot be that hard, I'll be done in 5 minutes."

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

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?

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.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
