30 Things all Girly-Girls Want You to Know

Fast Pic

Lately, I've noticed a lot of people rolling their eyes and dissing girls that they describe as "girly-girls." You know, the ones that love pink, makeup and everything sparkly. As a self proclaimed "girly-girl," these are the things that I want you to know:

1. Calling me a girly-girl is not an insult.

via GIPHY

I like wearing makeup. I like pink. Yes, this makes me a girly-girl. This doesn't make me some kind of lesser form of being.

2. I know secret uses for household products you've never thought of.

via GIPHY
I can name ten different beauty uses for coconut oil off the top of my head. Can you?

3. I can put together an adorable outfit in my sleep.

via GIPHY
In fact, I often do. I know my closet like the back of my hand and know exactly what looks good on my body.

4. I'm not afraid to get excited over the little things.

via GIPHY
Pink frosted cupcakes? A perfect lilac pedicure? A small animal with a jacket on? The simple pleasures make me happy.

5. I can talk about any given subject for hours.

via GIPHY
And I can probably relate whatever you're talking about to an episode of KUWTK.

6. I make the most of what I have.

via GIPHY
I may not have enough room for storage, but I'll make room because I'm determined. I will get every last drop out of my expensive foundation with a Q-Tip. I can probably even fix your over-bleached hair. Bring. It. On.

7. I know the importance of a good hair cut.

via GIPHY
Good hair makes someone feel ultra confident, and who doesn't want to feel good about themselves?

8. I know how to fix a problem.

via GIPHY
Bad hair day? I can fix that.

9. I know the importance of female friendships.

via GIPHY

It started with a compliment on her makeup. Now we're inseparable.

10. I'm not afraid to put myself out there.

via GIPHY
Wearing a Pinterest-worthy outfit to class will definitely turn some heads, and I am totally OK with that.

11. I can dream big.

via GIPHY
Just because I sleep in a matching two piece set from Victoria's Secret doesn't mean that I don't dream about ruling my empire in my sleep.

12. I know the importance of a good lipstick...

via GIPHY

I found my signature color, and I own it.

13. And a good fragrance.

via GIPHY
It keeps them thinking about you hours after you leave.

14. I can do just as much in heels as I can in sneakers.

via GIPHY
Can you?

15. Being a girly girl doesn't mean I don't have common sense.

via GIPHY

Most of the time.

16. I look cute at the gym because it's my pre-workout.

I make an effort to buy cute work out clothes. I still have my makeup on. It makes me feel confident. To each their own.

17. I can plan a killer sleepover.

via GIPHY
Makeovers. Rom-Com. Snacks. Wine.

18. I can help you feel better about yourself.

via GIPHY

One of my favorite things to do is to give beauty tips or do makeup for my friends on big events. I like making others feel as beautiful as they should.

19. I can be a girly girl and also like sports.

via GIPHY
Yep. I'm an athlete. My sneakers are pink. Deal with it.

20. I'm always down to have a good venting session.

via GIPHY
Who is being mean to you and can a caramel macchiato fix it?

21. I'm fierce as hell.

via GIPHY
I can wear five-inch stilettos and kick your a**.

22. I know my self-worth.

via GIPHY
I'm a princess. Duh.

23. I know a pair of shoes can change my life.

via GIPHY
Dorothy and Cinderella are just two examples.

24. I am stronger than you think.

I've braved through cuts from shaving, hot wax being used to rip hair out of my body, and bloody blisters from my shoes. I am strong.

25. I know how to perfectly craft an Instagram post.

Down to the filter and the caption

26. I can craft an amazing present for you.

27. I can geniusly attack a sale.

It's basically like stalking my prey and attacking with coupons and rewards points.

28. I know what it's like to be misunderstood.

Nope, just because I am a girly-girl does not mean I get everything handed to me. Nice try though.

29. I'm not a mean girl.

Being a girly-girl doesn't mean that I'm not a nice person. I'm totally a nice person.

30. I don't deserve to be judged based on what you classify me as.

Girly-girl or not, I shouldn't have certain expectations placed on me because of the way I look or dress or the things I like. I promise not to judge you either. Pinkie promise.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

SUNY Binghamton

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.

Student Life

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

Dorothy and Cinderella are just two examples.

24. I am stronger than you think.
