Why I'm Horrible At Being A Girl

Sometimes I try, most of the time I fail.

Why I'm Horrible At Being A Girl
presto.com

Being a girl is really fucking hard. I don't know what I'm doing half the time. Growing up, I always considered myself a "tomboy". I never wore dresses really and I made it known that my favorite color was NOT pink. I feel like there's so many expectations when it comes to being a girl. There isn't any shade being thrown towards girls that are "girly" because sometimes I wish I was. I've just always been different and I've decided to explain why that's the case.

First off, what the hell is contouring?! Big props to girls who know how to use makeup because I have no idea what I'm doing 90 percent of the time. I bought a makeup brush from CVS a week ago and the brush part has already broken off. I guess you get what you pay for. I have no desire to spend more than 50-60 dollars on makeup. That kind of money could probably buy you one makeup brush at Sephora. I also never get my nails done. I got a pedicure for the first time in over ten years and it was honestly the best decision I've ever made.

Second of all, how the hell do I walk in heels?! I look like a baby deer learning how to walk for the first time every time I put a pair on. It doesn't help that I'm only 5'2 and posing for pictures with my friends that are already taller than me, and are also wearing high heels. I can't wear heels for longer than 5 minutes without wanting to cry and take them off.

Third, what kind of clothes do I buy?! I literally throw on leggings and sweatpants everyday because I hate jeans. I'm not really a fan of wearing dresses but I'd rather wear a dress to one of my sorority's chapter meetings than uncomfortable khakis and a blouse. My Nana picked out all of my clothes until I was in high school. She'll probably read this and laugh because she knows it's true. (Hi Nana!!).

Next, I don't know how to do my hair! It's so thick that I just leave it natural because it takes way too much time to straighten or curl it. So basically, it just always looks like a hot mess.

Lastly, I'm not considered "lady like" at all. If I put makeup on and a dress, people ask "What's the occasion?!" or "Why are you all dressed up?". Another reason why I don't really try. I'd rather not have people ask me those questions. Also, I'm extremely loud and not very graceful at all. I'm either dropping or bumping into something. I am simply just me. "Take me as I am or watch me as I leave." Not really sure who said that one but it's so fucking true. So if you're like me and can't do your hair, makeup, or put on a dress all the time, then hi, you're my new best friend.

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.

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.
