What It's Like To Be A Low-Maintenance Girl With High Standards

Low-maintenance girls don't require much attention. They love their independence, and don't need (or like) constant pampering. Nothing is ever that serious, which is a pretty chill way to live.

But they still have high standards. They have goals for themselves, and hope that the people they surround themselves with do too. Being a frat star who’s good at beer die will not completely win them over.

1. We don’t have a million requirements for boys. The few requirements that we actually have aren't too crazy. Just have some goals and passion in life. Be polite. Don’t be hammered 100 percent of the time.

2. We like doing things on a whim and don’t always need a set plan. But if a plan is made, we expect it to be seen through. We trust people to keep their words, and a pinky promise is binding.

3. We’re totally down to go to date and a fifth. Just don’t think of it as a romantic date, because it's not.

4. We avoid drama at all costs, and hate getting involved in situations that we have no place in. That doesn’t mean we don’t hear any rumors — and our impressions of people can change because of the ones that are true.

5. We like independence and enjoy sincerity. If we say we want to go to a coffee shop to study alone, we actually want to go alone. We don’t play that game where we try to get people to act clingy and do the opposite of what we say.

6. Group projects are the bane of our existence. We want everything to be just right, but we don’t have the drive to attack all other group members to get them to do their share.

7. We might not say everything on our mind, because we don’t want to feel like a burden. But somehow we expect people to know what’s on our mind or what’s bothering us. Whoops.

8. First impressions mean a lot. We don’t expect anything extravagant, but we’re going to note how firm your handshake is.

9. We don’t need undivided attention every moment of the day. But we’re sure to make the time that we have count.

If you often feel relaxed but still take things seriously, chances are you're a low-maintenance girl with high standards. It's pretty cool.

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.

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.
