Questions Women's College Students Hate Answering

Anyone who goes to a women's college knows just how annoying the stigma surrounding our schools can be. With that stigma come ridiculous questions from friends and family. Here are a few of those questions, and some potential answers so you can stop asking us these questions.

1. "Why didn't you choose to go to a co-ed school?"

Well, there's this thing called "tuition," and it's this thing that we have to sacrifice an arm and a leg for in order to receive a piece of paper. We most likely chose to attend these schools because they gave us a lot of money to go there. Also, the accepting, friendly environment and the incredible statistics don't hurt, either.

2. "Have you had any lesbian experiences yet?"

I'm sorry, were there no lesbians at your co-ed school? And even if we have dabbled, does it matter? Doesn't that help a person grow and learn about themselves? When we're asked this question, it's typically in a condescending tone of voice, and that is seriously harmful towards the LGBTQ+ communities. We aren't less of a person if we have, and we aren't better human beings if we haven't.

3. "Is it weird talking to men?"

Uh, no, but it's weird talking to you right now, so byeee.

4. "So what do you do for fun if there are no sports teams?"

First off, your sexism isn't appreciated in 2016. Second, there are plenty of sports teams at women's colleges because our students want them. Third, we kick ass on the field, and we'll pummel you to the ground any day of the week. Fourth, your education doesn't have to revolve entirely around sports; there are tons of activities on campus, from sporting events, to musicals, to Hillel.

5. "Is it one big slumber party every night?"

Sure, if you consider group study sessions, all-nighters before exams, and talking about your professors a "slumber party," then yeah. Throw in some Domino's pizza and red wine, and you have a typical night at a women's college. It's exciting, really.

6. "Are the professors brainwashing you into being a liberal?"

We think for ourselves, period. College is a place where you're supposed to think differently, so if you aren't challenging your ideals, then what are you even doing here? I've never seen the liberal students on campus "brainwash" the conservative students on campus into being liberal, and it will never happen because we respect each other's beliefs.


Here are some questions that students attending women's colleges have for you:

1. Why are you questioning the choice I made to attend my school?

No one ever points fingers at the students who choose to attend co-ed schools. Why? What makes women's colleges so terrible? My school is just as, if not more, respectable than any co-ed school. Just because cisgender males don't go here, it's a terrible place? Eff that. My education doesn't revolve around the dick.

2. Why do you assume that we never talk to guys?

Are you unaware of the fact that some women's colleges accept transgender males? Or that some of us have boyfriends? Or the fact that we have male professors? Seriously, you have to try really hard to not talk to guys. Besides, why are you so obsessed with us having interaction with males? I think you're the one with the guy issues, not us.

3. Why are you so obsessed with our sex lives?

"Do you have a boyfriend? A girlfriend? Oh, have you had any lesbian experiences? Have you had lesbian orgies? Have you ever kissed a girl? Have you hooked up with anyone yet? Huh?"

What if I asked you those same questions? Why don't you understand that no one enjoys answering them? Respect our privacy, and we'll respect yours. (Actually, we'll probably still respect yours, even if you don't respect ours, because we're decent people.)

Hopefully, your questions have been answered because, frankly, women's college students don't feel like answering them again. You're welcome.

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.
