9 Signs You're Not Exactly "Ladylike"
Michaela Walsh

1. Your wardrobe is at least 50% T-shirts.

Most of your outfits consist of jeans and a T-shirt, or a hoodie.

2. You've been told you "dress like a lesbian"

If wearing flannels and beanies makes me a lesbian, then I'm the biggest lumberjack beanie-wearing lesbian there is.

3. When you do actually dress up, everyone is shocked.


You've probably heard "Wow, you actually look like a girl today!" so many times. Or you might get a ton of compliments because nobody's used to you wearing much else besides jeans and a t-shirt.

4. The closest thing to dress shoes you own is Converse or Vans. Maybe combat boots.


"What do you mean I can't wear Vans at my prom/graduation/wedding/funeral??"

"How the hell does anyone walk in heels??"

5. You're obsessed with food.


And there's probably no way you'd order a salad on a date just to seem more like a "lady" and not the messy-eating food lover you probably are. Whoever you're dating can deal with it.

6. You have no idea how to do makeup/hair well. Or you're just too lazy.


You probably either suck at doing your makeup or hair, or you're just too lazy to do it half the time. The extra sleep in the morning is more appealing than having perfect hair or winged eyeliner anyway.

7. You swear constantly.

8. You probably don't carry a purse.

This can be kind of an issue because while you don't carry enough things to need a purse, it won't fit in the tiny pockets that women's jeans have, if your pants even have pockets at all. You're either forced to carry things in your hands all the time or carry a purse just for your phone, wallet, and keys. You see no point in carrying a purse 90% of the time.

9. You don't know how to flirt.


When you try to flirt it usually comes out as "uh, I like your face".

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.
