10 Things Guys Need To Understand

More often than not, I always hear, "Well, I never know what she's thinking."

*Rolls eyes*

Boys-- women, for the most part, will tell you what is going through their head if you are willing to listen. In an effort to make everyone's lives easier, I decided to create a list of things that girls wish guys would understand.

1. Period pains

We are not exaggerating when we say we feel like we are on our death bed. Oh, and don't compare them to getting kicked in the crotch. No uterus, no opinion.

2. Makeup

You think I spent $100 on makeup to impress you? That's cute. B*tch, I'm trying to impress myself and it makes me feel good. If I want to wear gold eyeliner and you don't like it-- I literally do not care.

3. Dick pics

Only God understands why guys send these, and maybe He doesn't even get it. Don't assume all girls want to see your junk. They are never wanted!

4. Lack of sleep

No girl likes to hear, "Wow, you look so tired." Even thinking about that phrase makes me cringe. You are pretty much telling us we look like sh*t, thanks.

5. Wardrobes

I'm not wearing this v-neck shirt to get your attention. Also, if I'm wearing some high-waisted booty shorts to the pool... leave me alone. I don't need your creepy ass looking at me.

6. Playing video games

Being a video game design major, I always hear, "Do you even like video games?" Do you even hear yourself? No female gamer needs you or the rest of the gaming community's snide comments about being a female gamer.

7. Being honest

If we had a "thing," and then you decide you're not into me anymore, please just tell me, or whoever. We are a lot more durable that you think we are. Nothing pisses me off more than when a guy tries to disappear into the distance. Have some balls and tell me that you're done and then I can move on, too.

8. Feelings

If your eyes cross paths, you will know in about .5 seconds wether or not a girl is into you. If she isn't, she will have this vague, glazed look and maybe a weak smile to go with it. If she is into you though, she will lock eyes with you, smile, and then look down. She may even continue to try and initiate eye contact multiple times too.

10. Be accepting

In a world where women are being continuously judged, it's hard to be ourselves. When we do finally feel comfortable in our own skin, do not shut us down for being confident. Instead, be encouraging and accepting.

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.
