13 Struggles Only Women Will Understand

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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
