We all know of at least one stereotypical white girl: Starbucks drink in hand, an over-sized shirt with her sorority letters, black leggings, dad cap, Ugg boots... But what about the girls who aren't so stereotypical? Being a not-so-stereotypical white girl comes with its challenges, here they are.

1. Having a music taste that's the complete opposite of your friends.

Your idea of turn up music? Mo Bamba, Swag Surfin', and some other mainstream songs that are played way too much. My idea of turn up music? Yungeen Ace, JayDaYoungan, Tokyo Jetz, and other artists that most white girls have no clue about.

2. Being the only sneakerhead in your friend group.

None of my friends can relate to the happiness I feel when I cop a new pair of J's.

3. Having no clue about Greek life.

I don't care that Mark from Kappa Sim Card liked your post on Instagram.

4. Loving sports way more than the rest of your friends.

You're excited for March because of Spring Break. I'm excited for March because of March Madness.

5. Dressing up like a girly-girl once and having the entire country comment on how you look.

"You should dress up more often!" Sorry. It's a no from me dawg.

6. Liking a little more flavor in your food than your friends.

I'm not really a Chicken Salad Chick girl... More of a Wingstop girl.

7. Having a different taste in movies and TV shows than your friends.

You want to watch "The Notebook." I want to watch "Friday."

8. Sticking with the same drink every time you go to Starbucks.

Not like I have any clue what any of the other drinks are anyways!

9. Not being able to fangirl over cute guys because your preferences are different from your friends.

I'm more into Jalen Ramsey than Zac Efron, but go ahead and shoot your shot sis!

10. Making guy friends more easily than girl friends.

It's just so easy to get into a conversation about sports or shoes with guys!

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.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
