Being a girl is hard; as I'm typing this, my fake nails are slipping off the keys. I've just got done running but instead of jumping into the shower I'm writing my article waiting for some of the sweat to dry (ew) so I can take off my sports bra in less than 15 minutes without dislocating my shoulder, and it got me thinking. Without further ado, here are eight things that make being a girl really hard.

1. Wet sports bras

Who needs straight jackets when a little sweat and spandex leads to your second round of cardio?

2. Fake nails

They're so pretty... until they chip or get loose or you have to pick up something or open a can of soda... still worth it, though.

3. Charging your phone before showering

Because you have to shave and that's going to take a while and shaving in silence just sucks.

4. Shaving

I could write a whole article just about this...

5. Dressing up


Do I wear a dress and have it awkwardly not fit my boobs/shoulders/waist/butt or spend time trying to match slacks and a blouse (that still won't fit my shoulders and/or boobs)?

6. Mansplaining

7. Periods

Call me crazy while I have blood pouring out of my body, I dare you. Just give me chocolate.

8. Long hair

It's gorgeous, assuming I live through choking on it after walking to class in the wind.

9. Being over-sexualized

Dress codes in school be like "girls must dress to invoke pure thoughts in the boys." Excuse me but I have to go protect the men from my sensual shoulders.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
