15 Things All Girls Do That Guys Just Don't Understand

All girls want out of this world is to be treated equal to men. However, we do participate in some activities that a lot of guys don't. They may give us a weird look, roll their eyes, or just be straight up confused because they just don't get it. If you aren't female, you probably won't understand. But this is for you, so you do understand. Because we are sick of the weird looks and questioning text messages asking "why do you do that?!" Sit back and buckle your seat belt because we're about to blow your mind.

1. The amount of thought that goes into an Instagram.

There are so many important variables that go into a good Instagram. You have to have the right filter, the right lighting, and a good caption. Boys don't quite get this formula and the concept of "doing it for the 'gram." Boys, Instagrams almost aren't even worth following because they throw up a grainy picture, no filter *shudder*, every five weeks with a caption "The bros." Wow. Original. I have 12 different versions of the same photo, including two backup photos in case I change my mind.

2. Carrying large amounts of stuff around with you at all times.

You never know when you're going to need something, and just thinking about that stresses me out, so the solution? Just bring it all! Boys will just throw their wallet in their back pocket and their phone. But what if all of the sudden you spill red sauce on your shirt? I have an extra one and you don't. Girls: 1 Boys: 0

3. The back of the pants check.

This is one of the ultimate bro moves for the members of the female race. If it's that girls time and she wants to wear white pants, you need to have her back at all times. No questions asked.

4. Going to the bathroom in a pack.

When one member of the squad has to pee, we all have to pee. Also, where else would we be able to talk about you boys without you hearing?

5. Wearing make up.

Even if you don't wear it very often, every girl has had to go through the struggle of wearing mascara and then having to resist rubbing your eye, unless you want to look like an early 2000s goth girl. But again, girls have the advantage here. At least we get to make ourselves look better, but if you boys don't look good...well, sucks to be you.

6. Getting our eyebrows done.

Boys don't understand that the eyebrows are life. They are the key to happiness. They will never understand why we as girls put ourselves through the pain of shaping them with hot wax, threading and tweezers. Boys just walk around with those bushy caterpillars sitting above their eyeballs. God, how do you live with yourself?!

7. Shaving our legs.

Boys will never experience the beautiful, beautiful feeling of being as smooth as a dolphin.

8. Wearing heels.

Again, why do we subject ourselves to the pain of sore knees, blisters, and crushed toes? Boys don't get it and quite frankly, neither do we. But these stilettos make my legs look like Carrie Underwood's and that's a good enough reason for me.

9. Being emotionally upset when a hair tie breaks.

Boy: "Why are you crying??"

Me: "My hair tie broke and I don't have another one."

*Has an emotional breakdown*

10. The importance of yoga pants and leggings in our day-to-day lives.

The picture really says it all.

11. Thongs.

How else am I supposed to wear my coveted Lulu yoga pants/leggings if I have a panty line? C'mon, this is basic stuff, boys.

12. Getting really upset about something and then being fine the next minute (or not, depends on the day).

I'm a little moody sometimes, okay? Just cuddle me and get me Chipotle.

13. Taking ridiculously long showers.

Boys don't understand that the shower is every girls' happy place. I have a lot to do in there. I have to shampoo, condition, shave, wash, sing, dance, and cure cancer.

14. Our creeping ability on social media.

If the entirety of FBI staff were women, every single case would be solved. Most girls already know your ex-girlfriend's name, birthday, interests, medical history, favorite color, and social security number.

15. The importance of the selfie and pictures in general.

Any moment that is going on that has any sort of importance is a Kodak moment. Whether it is with the front or rear facing camera totally depends on the situation. Us girls will take pictures of whatever we can for the 'gram' and for our forever-full camera rolls because we can never bring ourselves to delete them.

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.
