What All Girls Want Besides 'The Ring'

I mean, it's only a diamond.

What All Girls Want Besides 'The Ring'
William Ames Photography

I’m not gonna lie, most girls do want to get married. However, it’s never the ultimate goal all of the time. Sometimes we have different wants for each hour of the day. For example, at 11 PM, my ultimate want is to finish this episode of "Criminal Minds" before falling asleep, and randomly I have the goal of saving all endangered animals. A ring would be dope (eventually), but it’s not all that goes through a girl’s mind 24/7. Sometimes we want...

1. To eat as much as we can without gaining weight

Duh.

2. To own every dog/cat in the world

Pets are the best. They’re so much easier to take care of than people. Plus, they’re soft and will always love you.

3. Equal rights

Hell yes!

4. Carrie Bradshaw’s closet

Don’t know what I’m talking about? Watch one episode of "Sex and The City" and then you’ll understand.

5. To not be “mansplained” to

It’s rude, it’s demeaning, and it’s annoying.

5. A date with Leonardo DiCaprio or Jennifer Aniston

No girl – straight or gay – would turn down an evening with Leonardo or Mrs. Aniston. Any girl who says she would is lying.

6. Free tampons

They’re expensive. Enough said.

7. To cry AND not be judged for it

Oh, are my tears bothering you? Too bad.

8. To wear what we want and not be told we’re “asking for it”

No. Just no.

9. A cute pair of heels that are also comfortable

Heels are cute, but oh my gosh they hurt like a bi*ch. If someone could make a three-inch heel that is cute, classy, AND comfortable, I’d cry.

(C+C+C = Rachel crying tears of joy. Take that to your math teacher.)

10. To have someone that they can talk to at 3 AM

It doesn’t matter if we’re sad or we can’t believe what just happened on "Grey’s Anatomy." We need someone who won’t get upset when we call them at 3 AM. This could be a boyfriend, a friend, or even our mom. Doesn’t matter. We just want it.

11. To be understood

“Girls are so crazy.” “I can’t understand them.” “They’re so confusing.” Okay, well stop complaining and TRY. Literally just talk to us and ask us want we want, mean, or need. I don’t know any girl who doesn’t talk about her feelings. We just want to be understood, but it takes some communication.

Like I said, rings are nice and some girls really want “a ring before spring,” however, getting married is not the ultimate goal of a girl’s life. She has basic needs like food, shelter, and equal pay that come before marriage. Not every girl strives to get her Miss changed to Mrs.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
