That Tomboy Girly-Girl Life
Meagan's iPhone

Being a tomboy isn't the worst thing in the world for me. I grew up with three brothers, so my life was mostly about learning things like how to tube the correct way and how to change my own tires, rather than what shoes to buy and how to apply eyeliner.

If you're like me, you're a cross between a tomboy and a girly girl. Like, you don't really want to go shopping a lot, but you don't always want to play in dirt, either. Actually, I hate shopping all the time, so I don't want to go at all, honestly.

I enjoy my sweatpants, leggings, and t-shirts. I could live my whole life without ever dealing with a pair of heels or skirts. Not my thing.

However, I don't mind wearing dresses. Mostly because it's one less piece of clothing that I have to match with. And, as long as they're comfortable. I am not wearing a dress that's super short and revealing.

As previously mentioned, I hate shopping. I don't like trying clothes on in dressing rooms, I hate having to go back and forth to get a different size, and I really can't stand having to wait in line just to buy one thing. Seriously. I'd rather just sit there and watch someone else do that, while I eat.

I'm not afraid to eat a huge cheeseburger and fries in front of anyone, and I don't really get why anyone else would be, either...

Food is one of my best friends, and I'm not ashamed. Gotta have that strawberry milkshake.

I never was put in pageants, or shown how to foo-foo myself up. I don't do heels, and I look like a giraffe learning to walk when I attempt to walk in them. I barely know how to apply my own makeup.

Like, I don't even understand what "highlighting" and "contouring" are. I think I learned how to apply mascara without touching my eyeball for the first time about 2 years ago. Yes, I'm serious.

My entire makeup routine probably takes about 7-10 minutes to complete. It's a miracle that I know how to do it at all.

I never really watched sports, but since I've met my boy, I've gotten into baseball and sometimes football. I'd rather watch a baseball game now than "Fixer Upper".

If the choice were beer or a fruity drink, I'd probably go fruity, though.

I don't know how to make my hair perfect, or not frizzy during the summer. It's usually up in a ponytail or a bun, so I don't have to deal with it. I hate using curling irons, but I'm not always opposed to straighteners.

Honestly, I don't even know what kind of girl I am sometimes.

I just go with the flow and I'm sticking to it.

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.
