The 9 Everyday Struggles Of Being A Female As Told By Regina George

1. Eating one almond and bloating like you just ate a five course dinner.

We all know this struggle... Why is it when you wake up in the morning you have the ideal body, but right after breakfast you're bloated?

2. Slut shaming

When girls hook up with multiple guys they get shamed, but when guys hook up with multiple girls, they get a high-five.

3. The pressure of finding the perfect outfit for an occasion.

Maybe I am just incredibly extra, but when I know I have an important occasion coming up like a formal or a wedding, I buy my dress weeks in advance. Not to mention brainstorming different ways to do my hair and make-up so I can assure I am putting my best look forward.

4. The side effects of the crimson tide.

Whether you're bloating, aching, or breaking out, your monthly period is the most unwelcome guest and is a struggle all of us deal with.

5. The pressure to dance with a guy after he buys you a drink.

What happened to guys just being nice and chivalrous? Why MUST we feel this weird pressure to go twirl around and pay more than an ounce of attention because a guy bought a drink? Do you want a gold star because you spent $10?

6. Two Words: Sticky Boobs.

For some reason, clothes are being made with less and less fabric and necklines are going deeper and deeper, and you know what that means! You're either going commando upstairs or putting on a sticky, uncomfortable, piece of rubber or fabric to *somewhat* cover you up.

7. The constant groping and catcalling.

media.giphy.com

When I walk in the streets of the city, it is hard for me to walk by a crowd of boys without staring or whistling, and I don't believe that has anything to do with my looks. Creepy men love staring at girls and making them feel uncomfortable, and the second we yell back, it’s like hell has frozen over, and the men are in awe. Oh, and don't even get me started on the groping that men do in a crowded bar. Why is that even a thing?

8. Automatically being second-guessed because you're a female.

media.giphy.com

This is just a fact. Men, and sometimes even other women, are more likely to doubt a female. This is something the third wave of feminism is trying to crush, but unfortunately, these things don't change overnight.

9. Being emotional with men

media.giphy.com

Why is it a guy can get away with being affectionate and saying bold, emotional things even if you're not even there yet, but if a girl initiates the affection and the emotion, the guy freaks out? Did you catch that? Guys can cross the line with words, and we can't.

Although being a female is a daily struggle, I am most certainly thankful I am not a boy. As long as Regina George relates to us, it can't be that bad, right?

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
