10 Summer Problems Every Girl Knows

If everyone feels the same way I feel, they can't wait for the weather to get hot and the summer to really start. And with the first day of the season on Monday, I'm sure everyone is eagerly holding onto their bathing suits and beach bags just waiting for the temperature to rise above 80. But don't forget, ladies: with summer comes fun, but also a lot of annoyances.

1. Shaving your legs every day


This is a big one. Usually during the cold months of winter, we don't mind if our legs get a little stubbly (or worse). But shorts, dresses and bathing suits call for super-smooth legs 24-7, which means a big-time commitment to your razor.

2. Finding a bikini that can handle the ocean


Not only do our bathing suits have to be in style and super cute, but you have to know which is right for your body. The strong, crashing waves of the ocean do not give a rat's ass if you suddenly pop up with your tits free for all beach goers to see or your bottoms floating beside you. The search for the right bikini can sometimes me more difficult than the search for the right man.

3. Sun. Burn.


Enough said.

4. Long Hair


Everyone wants long, beachy-waves mermaid hair for the summer. Unfortunately, the maintenance of it is not so easy. Humidity is especially tough on long hair; don't maintain that and you'll end up looking like Mia Thermopolis (before the makeover.) And in the blazing hot heat it feels like a wool blanket is draped over your back. Definitely not comfy.

5. Make up

Summer is definitely a time for fun parties, BBQs, and events that usually take place outside. Although we always wanna look our best and super cute for these get-togethers, heat + make up=clown face. And swimming with make up on? You might as well just show up to the party with your red nose and floppy shoes on.

6. Periods


As much of a damper that periods are, they're even worse in the summer. You can say goodbye to your bikini for five days and watch everyone else swim or go to the beach. You can't just curl up in bed in your favorite pajamas watching Netflix with the blazingly gorgeous sunshine mocking you through your window. All your cute little dresses and skirts don't look nearly as pretty with period bloat. Ugh.

7. Boob sweat

I don't care if you're busty galore or a full-time member of the itty bitty titty committee: boob sweat is inevitable, uncomfortable and disgusting.

8. Wearing skirt/dresses on breezy days

On a hot summer day, a nice cool breeze is always appreciated. Except when it blows up your skirt/dress, exposing your frilly panties to the whole world. Those days where the heat barely reaches 75 and a constant summer breeze blows by are definitely amazing. Just remember to wear shorts.

9. When your butt creeps out of your shorts

Both denim and comfy shorts are culprits of this. Especially with high waist being so popular, your butt is just barely covered on a normal basis. Bend down even the smallest amount, and it's game over. All girls have mastered the pull-down-the-front-and-back-of-my-shorts-as-I walk move to try and save their tushes from popping out.

10. The feeling of sitting in shorts

They squeeze your thighs and stomach. You try to find a comfy position, but it's impossible. You stick to your chair and have to awkwardly peel yourself off of it when you stand up. And you walk around the rest of the day with those weird red lines on the back of your thighs. Not cute.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
