18 Struggles of A "Not-so-Girly" Girl

18 Struggles of A "Not-so-Girly" Girl

Here's to the ladies who were never a Girl Scout, had no desire to be a dancer and would rather suit up for the game than cheer from the sidelines. You're not alone. I think it's safe to say there are some struggles that the not-so-girly girls out there can all relate to…


1.Having to brush your hair every single day. You would much rather just stick to the ponytail, or perhaps bring out the baseball cap?



2. Having a genuine interest in playing and following sports, but being criticized for it. Why can't girls follow sports and not be judged as “try-hards" by other girls or questioned by guys?


3.Your heart doesn't melt at the sight of a kitten…or even a small lap dog. Bring on the Great Danes and Labradors.


4.Finding it nearly impossible to develop an interest of any kind in shows such as Gossip Girl or the Bachelor.


5.There's a bug in the room. All the girls scream and freak out. You are the one expected to kill it. Everyone calm down.


6.Inability to take a decent selfie, most likely because you are yet to master the art of the “kissy face" and look far from sexy while trying.


7.When it comes down to a fitted tank top or a men's t-shirt, the choice is too easy.


8.You may or may not have more guy friends than girls. So what?


9. You would take a steak over a salad any day.


10. Function > fashion.



11. There have been numerous occasions when your crush called you a “bro,"or vice versa.



12. Considering just about everything a competition of some kind. You have to win.



13. Not knowing how to properly apply makeup.


14. Sports Center will always be more interesting than Entertainment TV — even the late night reruns.


15. Having absolutely no idea how to dance without being awkward.



16. When you actually dress up people go out of their way to compliment you because it is such a rarity.



17. Girls are constantly coming to you seeking relationship advice because, let's face it, you either think like a man or have a slight idea about what they are thinking.


18. Constantly being accused of being emotionless. Seriously? We all have feelings, some girls are just a lot more reluctant to show 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.
