10 Realities Every Girly Tomboy Can Relate To

As a girly tomboy, it can be tough to defy the 'feminine' stereotype and act in a way seen as contrary to how society believes I should act. Throughout the years, though, I've learned to grow a tough skin by learning how to deal with the struggles of being a girly tomboy.

1. Your sense of style changes on a daily basis

One day you might be wearing booties with leggings and a shirt and perfect makeup, and the next you might be wearing a baggy sweater, leggings, and a beanie. These sudden changes can leave people shocked sometimes when they see you dressed up.

2. You do enjoy dressing up

Since it doesn’t present itself often, dressing up for special occasions can be a great time to play up my girly side, but then I revert back to sweatpants the next day.

3. You don’t wear makeup every day

And when you do have to put on foundation, it can be a struggle. I go most days without wearing a full face of makeup because I think it takes too much time and effort.

4. You prefer practical over fashionable

Sure you have a few pieces to whip out if need be, whether you’re going to a conference or to an interview. Yet, most of your closet consists of practical clothes because you’d rather be comfortable than worrying about your clothes all the time.

5. You aren’t the biggest fan of nail polish

Since I hate when my nail polish chips, I tend to only do my nails when I really feel like devoting the time and effort.

6. You have more guy friends than female friends

This might be hard for some people to understand, but you just prefer hanging out with your guy friends. You do still cherish your time with your female friends, but there’s a difference in how you relate to each other.

7. People often think it’s a phase

Those who think you should act more feminine think this is a ‘phase’ and that you’ll grow out of it soon enough. However, this is who you are and that’s what makes you happy.

8. Short skirts and dresses make you feel uncomfortable

These are your worst nightmare and you hate it when someone suggests you wear a short(er) article of clothing. Again, practicality over fashion wins here: you’d rather be comfortable than trying to hold down your clothes against the wind.

9. You don’t wear makeup to the gym

Unlike those who get dolled up to go to the gym, as a girly tomboy, you can’t imagine doing your makeup and then sweating it all off. What’s worse is, it’s not good for your skin!

10. You don’t pretend to be someone you’re not

Even though some people may not understand your disposition, you’re not trying to impress anyone and you remain true yourself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
