20 Reasons It Sucks Being A Girl

It's possibly the worst thing ever.

20 Reasons It Sucks Being A Girl
Google

I must admit that I love being a girl. As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned that I would have never been cut out to be a guy. However, while I do enjoy being a female, there are multiple things that make being a girl literally the worst thing ever:

1. You never have anything to wear.

Your closet is packed full of all styles of clothing, but nothing is ever good enough.

2. Makeup is kind of a necessity.

If you don’t wear makeup, you either get asked if you’re sick/okay or you look like you have no eyelashes, neither of which any of us enjoy.

3. Boys.

It’s a universal code that all boys suck and are the root of all problems. You may get crap from friends if you’re falling for a new guy because he will cause all sorts of new issues in the friend circle.

4. Periods.

Need I say more?

5. There’s always a fear of being pregnant.

It doesn’t matter if you use condoms, are on the pill or haven’t had sex in four years. You still convince yourself that you’re pregnant every month.

6. You’re expected to be hairless.

You probably spend way too much time in the shower trying to be as smooth as a baby’s butt only to be griped at that you’re wasting water.

7. You cry during every commercial.

There really is no explanation to this one.

8. So. Many. Emotions.

We are emotional roller coasters and there is just no getting around it.

9. You always lose your bobby pins.

Buy a pack of 100? Gone in two hours. Fabulous.

10. There’s always hair everywhere.

It never fails that even after cleaning the hair is still there.

11. We literally overthink everything.

*Friend is being quiet* She must hate me. Nah, she’s actually just hungry.

12. The pressure to have a bikini body.


Sorry VS models, but not all of us are a size double zero.

13. The dreaded diet.

I actually just wanna eat a whole tub of ice cream.

14. The cost.

I didn’t choose the bra life, the bra life chose me.

15. Holding in poop/farts for who knows how long.

Because girls don’t have natural body functions, right?

16. You have a resting b**** face.

Everyone hates you before they get to know you because, well, your face.

17. The envied messy bun.

Some girls look super cute. Others look like they’ve been on crack for a week.

18. You can't openly like sex.

If you do, you get slut-shamed. Sorry.

19. Painting your nails.

It’s actually impossible to paint your nails and make them look decent without messing them up an average of 27 times in the process.

20. First dates.


You always think you have to eat the salad instead of going for the rack of ribs because he’s cute and you don't want to scare him.

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.
