It was so exhausting trying to be the cool girl. I bet you know exactly who I am talking about. She is naturally beautiful, she doesn’t care about what anyone thinks about her, she has more guy friends than girlfriends, she a little too in sports, and she makes a point in any conversation to say, “ugh, I just hate drama.

Now, I know some of you are going to get very defensive and say I like football *hair flip* or I just get along with guys better *rolls eyes*. And I am sure you do. But you aren’t 100% the cool girl. There is no possible way.

I tried to be the cool girl. I feel like in movies, and tv shows the main girl is always like this. So naturally, I tried to put on an act. Like I enjoyed watching sports all day long, and I didn’t spend three hours doing a “natural” makeup look. I didn’t do the things that I enjoyed doing to play this role of being the cool girl.

And if you are a boy reading this and think I am crazy, I’m telling you every girl does this. It’s very dumb and weird, but it is usually to impress you. It is just how we are. I’m sure a girl has told you how low maintenance she is, she is to go with the flow and doesn’t know why girls act so crazy. She plays the role of the cool girl. This is like cool girl 101, show and tells the guy how cool you are.

After years and years of trying to be this girl, I found myself of not being happy. I wasn’t doing things that I liked. I’m high maintenance, and I enjoy watching Grey’s Anatomy. But I also like to watch James Bond, and I am pretty go-with-the-flow.

So, I am telling you, girl or guy reading this. No one is the perfect “cool girl.” And if you think she is, she is probably not opening all the up to you.
