14 Struggles of Being a Girl
Sally Beauty Supply

Being a girl definitely has its ups and downs. The cute clothes, manicures, and all that jazz are just some perks. But the cramps and having to put on make up all the time or else we get asked if we're tired are just two of the major struggles we face when it comes to being a female in today's world. Want to know more? Here's a list of struggles girls all around the world are facing on a day to day basis.


1. High Heels

Because nothing draws more attention in the club like you trying to walk with blisters but really looking like a baby giraffe fresh out of the womb in heels.


2. Panty Lines


You have an extensive collection of underwear in your drawers. The ones for the gym, the ones for a night out, the ones you wear when you don't want to wear underwear...


3. You have to shave everything


And once you do shave everything, it grows back twice as fast so its almost pointless to shave in the first place!


4. When you get a manicure and it chips the next day


The best feeling, to me anyways, is just to sit back, relax and get my nails done. Sometimes it can be an expense, sure, but they sure look pretty after. AND THEN THEY FRICKIN' CHIP THE NEXT DAY!


5. Having to use the bathroom while wearing certain outfits


Awe, you wore a super cute romper to the beach today? Good luck going to the bathroom in that! But, hey, if you can conquer this female milestone, more power to you!


6. Getting your hair stuck on your lip gloss


Forget driving with the windows down after just applying that new cute gloss from Sephora that you spent an un Godly amount of money on. Now your hair will have a sparkly gloss to it as well. Maybe just not the one you originally wanted...


7. When your hair tie breaks and a little bit of you dies inside


You've been running around all day between class, that nap and now you've finally made it to the gym. You go to put your hair up with your handy dandy hair tie that hasn't left your wrist in three days, go to put your hair up, and then snap. Your hair tie breaks and you feel a little something inside of you snap a little bit too.


8. When your ponytail is too tight...


You think you've gotten the perfect pony; your hair is away from your face, the length is perfect, and its so sleek. As the day goes on, your head starts to hurt and even throb. Its bad.


9. When you have to sneeze right after doing your mascara


You feel it coming on and you know there's no stopping it. You try everything in your power to not sneeze because your mascara is still wet. And then it happens. Boom. Mascara everywhere it isn't supposed to be.


10. When you rub your eyes but forget you still have make up on...


At the end of the day, you come home, put your feet up, reach up, rub your eyes and mid rub, you remember that you're still wearing make up and now look like a very tired raccoon.


11. Having to take your make up off before bed


Nothing makes me sadder than getting into my pjs, snuggling up with my thousands of blankets and then realizing I still have to take my make up off. I have to get up, turn the light on, go take my make up off, get back into bed, try to get comfy and it just doesn't work.


12. Eyebrows


Because who doesn't love getting hot wax ripped off of the super sensitive parts of your face??? Well there goes $10. That is like four drinks at Dunkin, but thank goodness I don't have caterpillars on my face anymore...


13. Hairstyling


Curlers, straighteners, hair dryers, oh my! Sure, it may leave lasting damage in your hair but at least it looks pretty after...right?


14. Contouring


Who doesn't love to wake up a half hour early just to contour their face when you'll probably mess it up with only five minutes before you have to leave? But when that contour is on point...damn. Go you.

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.
