Eight Struggles Of Being A Girl In The Summer

Eight Struggles Of Being A Girl In The Summer

Being a girl isn't easy, but when you add heat and the summer sun, it gets just a little harder.

1. Humidity strikes.

All of the backyard parties and patio bars can really kill those of us with naturally curly hair. What's the point of even doing it if you're going to have to put it up in five minutes because it's a frizz ball

2. Awkward tan lines.

You tried to be golden all over, but you're impatient and now you look like a black and white cookie.

3. Not feeling tan enough.

Just when you thought you were tan enough to look good, you hang out with your friends who look like a totally different race and LOVE to brag about it. Now you feel like Edward Cullen standing next to the cast of "The Jersey Shore."

4. The same boys.

Chances are you came home for the summer and back to the same guys you've known since middle school. Everything's boring, you've seen all this before. Where are all of the hot older guys you talk to when you're not in your hometown?

5. Picking the right outfit.


Summer can be so unpredictable. Cooler at night and hot during the day, so bipolar! Plus we have to ask our friends if they're actually wearing appropriate clothes or "summer appropriate/looks like I'm half naked" clothes before we go out. It's a difficult process.

6. Creepy guys everywhere

Yes, you understand that you may not be wearing a ton of clothes. It's 85 degrees and you're at the beach. That isn't an open invitation for the creepy guy who's been staring at you for the past hour to come hit on you.

7. Shaving every day.

You had it so easy in the winter, nobody questioned you if you didn't shave your legs for a week while you were wearing long pants.

8. Sweating in public.


You knew crowded frat basements back at college were gross, but everyone there was sweaty. Now you're at an outdoor bar talking to a cute guy and this is just not acceptable.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.
