First, a round of applause to all the females out there, being this fabulous is not that easy. These are some of the things we struggle with:

1. Shaving:

Shaving during summer, shaving for dates, or missing a spot while shaving are the worst. But, I guess it's worth the extra 10 minutes.

2. Putting on Makeup:

What we expect to look like when we finish our makeup. In reality, this would probably take us hours to look like Kylie. Taking time to find the perfect makeup look for yourself takes practice.

and if you mess up:

Time to start all over

3. That time of the month:

This is The. Worst. Time. Ever. Why couldn't we just get a note saying "congrats on not being pregnant, talk to you next month."

4. Cramps:

The cramps that come along with that time of the month could kill a boy, but we put up with every 30 days like a boss.

5. Feminine Products are expensive:

Pads, tampons, pink razors are all taxed because they're considered "luxuries." Because using a tampon or pad is a luxury we actually want to do it, but men shaving their face is a necessity that doesn't need to be taxed. Don't forget this stuff runs about $10 per package, that sh*t adds up.

6. Wearing Heels:

Wearing heels can make a woman feel gorgeous, but we run the risk of breaking an ankle. If we have to wear them for long hours, forget about walking tomorrow. And don't forget about the street dangers, not everyone can be Rhianna:

7. Trying to pick an outfit:

You closet full of clothes, but actually have nothing to wear. Usually going back to the same 5 outfits and just change up the days you wear them while trying not to look homeless. This is a daily struggle.

8. Dealing with your hair:

Long hair is one of the biggest struggles. If you wear it in a ponytail too much, you may go bald; wear it down, it goes everywhere. Not to mention how many hours we've wasted styling it.

9. Then we have to deal hair styling tools as hot as an oven:

Seriously, these things heat up to 400 degrees and could burn a house down.

10. Having to wear spandex or shorts under dresses:

Spandex is a must because sitting ladylike is not one of my specialties. It also prevents embarrassing mishaps with dresses.

11. Having to rearrange your boobs at a bad time:

When your boobs are constantly falling out of your bra and you need to fix it, but you're in a public place. It's not considered "ladylike" to realign the twins.

12. Bras:

Bras are the spawn of satan. They are tight, uncomfortable, make you sweaty, never stay in place. But, this just makes you even more appreciative of taking it off at the end of the day.

13. Being Fabulous:

Being fabulous is a daily struggle that women have to deal with, but we all doing it like a boss.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
