Ladies, we all know how hard it is to get our makeup on, our hair done and pick out cute, different outfits every day. As if it's not hard enough, we often run into many roadblocks. I have compiled a list of those road blocks that tend to make us gasp in fear. And, of course, there are far more in depth, difficult things about being a girl in today's society. These are just the ones that we hate, but can manage.
1. All's fine and good until your hair tie snaps mid-ponytail.

You'e almost done constructing the perfect sleek pony. One loop done, you just have to go around one more time and...snap! That sound against your head, the hair tie slapping against your fingers. It's even worse when it's you last hair tie. When you only have one hair tie left, you become its mother. You take care of that thing like your life depends on it. You always keep it on your wrist, you never let it out of your sight. And when you lose it, you feel naked, helpless. Not to mention the horrid marks you get on your wrist from wearing a hair tie on it.
2. Why is that I only have to sneeze after I've applied mascara?
And I only need to blow my nose when I'm done (trying) to contour it? And my neck is only itchy while my nails are wet? As hard as you try to ignore it, the itch will worsen. The sneeze will come out and you'll be forced to blink. It's just cruel.
3. It may sound superficial, but picking outfits to wear every day is hard!
If you're anything like me, you have more than clothes than you know what to do with, but you only actually like a select few. So yes, it probably looks like we wear the same leggings every day and the same black shirt or cardigan. It's because we do. We just have 400 pairs of the same thing.
4. We all know what it's like to get a perfectly close shave on our legs.
So smooth, so soft, that we just want to wave our legs in the air for someone, anyone to feel them. But the worst is when you finish shaving, step out of the shower, only to see a puddle of blood pooling by the drain. You look at your leg and, sure enough, you have a cut. You were so close to perfection. So close to being hired for a Nair commercial, but no. Now you're stuck with a Hello Kitty band-aid on your knee. Wonderful.
5. Chances are you've probably experienced the heartbreak of dropping your pressed makeup on the floor.

You can't even look down. The thought of your $30 Too Faced bronzer being cracked into powdery little pieces after only one use is too much to fathom. Yes, you can fix it with water (or something like that, there are tutorials on YouTube), but it will never be as beautiful and perfect as it was before you dropped it. Doesn't this picture just break your heart?
6. Haircuts -- always a terrifying experience.
One day you want a quarter of an inch off, the next day you want it all off. One day you want to die your hair black, the next you want blonde highlights. If i get an inch off, it might be too short. But if I get a half an inch, it may look like nothing. But isn't that what I want? No. I want it short. I want a bob. You waiver back and forth for days, only to chicken out in the salon chair and get the same thing you always get. Boring, ordinary, but safe.
7. There's nothing worse than trying a simple, subtle smokey eye for a change and ending up looking like Alice Cooper.

You just wanted some black/grey eyeshadow, some voluminous lashes and winged liner. Except you made the left wing longer than the right one, so then you had to make the right one longer, but you made it too long. You figured you could distract from the wing by adding more mascara so you tried that. But here you are, just trying to go to the food store looking like you just came from the club.
8. Last, but not least (and probably the worst of them all) periods.
The unbearable, unavoidable, incurable nightmare that we all must face every month. The cramps, the bloating, the emotional mood swings (which are very real despite what people may say), the cravings. You spend the whole morning doubled over in cramp pain, the whole afternoon eating and the whole night laugh-crying. And you can't control any of it!
