10 Struggles Of Being A Girl

Sometimes it’s true when they say it’s a mans world, when it comes to getting ready, a quick shower, dry off and shave and they’re out the door. Don't we all wish it was that easy?

Being a woman however, takes just a little more effort. It takes a lot to get ourselves ready on a weekly, even daily basis. Then having these things happen on top of it doesn't make it easier.

Ain’t nobody got time for that... But some men don’t seem to understand the efforts girls go through to feel spick and span, and look even more beautiful than we already do, as well as the opinions we receive from them.

With all the nitty gritty details, and beauty products, sometimes I wish I was a boy so facial hair would be considered attractive!

1. Periods.

Nothing worse than getting your period the day before or day of something important. Mother Nature just send me a text and call it a day.

2. Shaving your legs.

These are the times where you wish you could snap your fingers and the deed could be done.

3. Getting your eyebrows done.


I think you all understand the pain it takes for the brows to be on fleek.

4. Breaking your hair tie.

Then having to walk around with a bump in your hair if you can't find a new one. Or something that at least substitutes it.

5. Makeup expectations

Reality:

6. Bad hair days.

Guys have it easy, just throw on a hat and call it a day. We have to tackle the summer humidity, the rain and everything else Mother Nature has to throw at us.

7. We can't get ready in just five minutes.

When you get the dreaded "Be there in 5" text and you are in the middle of your contour. There is no turning back now. Looks like they are going to be sitting outside for 20 minutes.

8. Chipping your nails 10 minutes after you get them done.

9. Running with boobs.

Or just running in general.

10. Being accused of being a bad driver.

This one just puts the icing on the cake of being a girl, I don't think I have ever heard a guy compliment a girls driving.'

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
