Sometimes it’s healthy to take a step back and have a good laugh at your own expense. Being a young women in this generation gives me plenty of material to make fun of. Between the narcissism of taking selfies to flaunting the latest trends, girls can make themselves an easy target. In particular during the rise of the seemingly upcoming feminist movement, being able to laugh at myself for doing typical girl things, is both ironic and entertaining. Indulging in these stereotypes is sometimes inevitable but comical regardless.
1.Saying the word “like” too much
Give a listen to any high school girl’s conversation and you will hear the word “like” as if it’s going out of style. Gossiping, no matter how immature, is almost instinctive to girls. For some reason while we are conversing with our friends, the only way we can get our point across, is by saying “like” every other word.
2.We constantly touch our hair
No matter the length, twirling our hair is more than just an anxious habit. Nothing is better than just getting out of the shower and twisting your hair with your finger and brushing through it with your hands. Yet, this activity becomes more of a regular occurrence when you’re playing hair dresser in class, while driving or even in line at a store. It somehow becomes more addictive than eating chocolate while you have cramps; which is a totally separate issue..
3.Being indecisive about our clothes
Even though our closets are overflowing with options, we somehow never seem to have anything to wear. Shopping is usually a regular thing, so there’s never a shortage of outfits. Yet somehow, finding an appropriate ensemble everyday is more complicated than college math homework. It takes me, on average, about four clothes changes before arriving on a satisfactory outfit.
4.Going to the bathroom in herds
Whether you’re at a dinner or a get together, going to the bathroom alone when you’re among females at a social event, is unheard of. This is our time to pee for the second time in twenty minutes, talk trash really quickly, see how bad our make-up looks and adjust our annoying bras. To everyone else, this is highly irritating. To us, it’s normal.
5.Strutting instead of walking
All of the above reasons, I can identify with… However, I would rather walk than strut. Nothing is more irritating to girls, than seeing other girls strutting their hips. There’s no reasonable explanation, it just is. There are so many other ways to get people’s attention than blatantly swaying your hips and keeping the posture of a diva. Acting like you’re sporting designer outfits on the runway when you’re just walking down the street, is a little much. Regular walking will suffice.
