"Wake up, wake up, gotta do my hair, gotta put on make-up. Gotta act like I care about this fake stuff. Straight up. What a waste of my day. If I had it my way, I'd roll out of bed, say 'bout 2:30 mid day." -Jhene Aiko
I feel the same way. It seems like as time goes on, society finds a way for girls to feel worse about themselves then before. And as a response, girls go through daily changes to make themselves look prettier, feel happier, and weigh less. The funny thing is that so many people are oblivious to the unkind world.
Magazines:
Do not get me wrong. I love to read magazines, and hope to someday maybe be apart of the process of creating issues. But, the issue with magazines is that they show women who have been photoshopped, which gives everyday average Jane's the idea that they too must look like these women when in fast these women do not look like their magazine covers. Cindy Crawford once said "Even I don't wake up looking like Cindy Crawford," implying that even she does not look as great as she is portrayed in the media.
I know, no one ever tells you that you need to start wearing makeup. The scary thing is that once you start, you can not stop. There is this product to minimize pores, this one helps cover blemishes, and that one enhances your eyelashes. Everybody else does it, so you have to compete with the alpha females who always look perfect.
This one gets its own category because it is one of the most intense makeup techniques known to man kind. Seriously though if you can get a perfect winged eye look you probably are not female or human.
Not boyfriend, but boy space friend.The annoying thing is that once you are seen with a guy multiple times, you are either talking or you like each other. Not the case? "Oh, well then she must be a slut since she is always around guys, or, "Oh, she must be a b-word because no girls want to hang out with her." Seriously, let's stop slut shamming.
Tampons and Pads:
By this point in life, I am over the whole walking out of class is embarrassing because at the end of the day, you gotta do what you gotta do. In middle school though, it is one of the most awkward things that happen especially when a boy would see you pull one out.
This one gets its own category too because they just suck. I mean, I guess thank you mother nature for letting me know that I am not preggo this month.
My hairdresser always says that this is a no-go and I can see why. As a female, you want to continue to stay trendy and with the seasons comes new hair colors. Forever thanking God for Color Oops when mistakes in the process get made, but also forever being mad that getting hair colored at a salon is so much money.
"Why is this a big deal?" you may ask. Well, when I hear a guy say that they can see the outline of my underwear, I am not sure if I should thank them for letting me know, or be mad because they were looking at my butt. To be honest, you should be happy to know that at least I am wearing underwear, right? But, this is another thing that one has to through being a female. Society has made it seems socially unexceptionable to be able to see these lines.
Stages of eyebrows have changed dramatically throughout the past couple years. Thanks to a famous vine, we all now know that our eyebrows should always be on fleek.
