Whether you're a sundress wearing, makeup doing, hair-curling girly girl or the girl wearing the dirty sweatpants with your hair in a bun and yesterday's bits of makeup left on, my hope is that everyone can relate to at least a few of these points because, let's be honest, acting like a girly girl can get rather tiresome...
Here's a list of signs that you could be, or maybe always have been, a lady with a tomboy's heart:
1. People have a hard time recognizing you in attire that does not include sweats, t-shirts, and fuzzy socks.
Look good, feel good, do good? Hard pass; how about just feel good? AKA wake up ten minutes before any social obligation and throw on whatever comfortable clothes are laying around that possess only a minimal amount of unpleasant odor. Don't get me wrong, I have my sundress days every month or six as well, but if that's not you then just keep on rockin' those sweatpants, beautiful!
2. You catch yourself swearing once or twenty-three times a day... whoops.
I think this is like, one of the major lady laws, right? You're supposed to speak modestly and with class...well, looks like I dropped the ball on this one as well. Let's get real though, the dictionary of curse words is so versatile and colorful that it really isn't our fault if we can't stop using those words, am I right?
Screw it, I'm full of shit, I know. Swear words are fun.
3. Here's a classic sign; you have more guy friends than girl friends.
Although girls who have multiple guy friends can often receive a bad rep because of idiotic stereotypes, there's typically one main reason why this is actually occurring; you're a girl, therefore you know what many girls are like, and as a result choose to keep your distance....a lot of distance. As much as I love my friends that are girls and think they're awesome, I do enjoy the time I spend with my guy friends where there is minimal drama and cattiness. Typically our chill time consists of a bunch of stupid conversation and stuffing our faces with food.
4. You tend to forget that feelings are typically something needing to be expressed; internalization is your safe space.
As we're probably all aware by now, the male species isn't always specialized in the art of communication. This is typically seen more as a female characteristic... Unless, of course,
Kidding, kind of. I've questioned many times if I was born without the part of my brain that helps me know how to be girly...if that's even a thing. Anyways, I replace my feelings with food
5. Your personal hygiene could probably use a little bit of work...
6. Manners can, at times, sporadically disappear.
If please and thank-you
7. Hair and makeup are out of the question.
One thing I will never be able to comprehend is how there are people that are capable of waking up, getting dressed, doing their hair and makeup, all for an 8 am class or shift at work. I realize that I will one day be required to figure it out when I begin a serious career, but for
8. You never stop eating.
This one is rather self-explanatory; diets don't exist and Taco Bell is life.
Well, there you have it. If you display any of the above symptoms there is a chance that you are and possibly always have been a tomboy. We might have our lady-like moments occasionally, but we always know where our hearts lie; in baskets of wings and dirty laundry.
