Why It's OK To Be High Maintenance

We all have pet peeves, and higher expectations than the norm, but that is okay.

Why It's OK To Be High Maintenance
Lady One

We are clean, organized and needy. We may feel the need to be very hygienic and put together every day. We can’t stand when there are messes around the house, or in small places. When we need something, we will usually get it ourselves, or ask someone to do it or get it for us. Things must go our way and only our way. Remember, women are always right, just leave it at that. We have a high pride in the way our appearance looks. We can be difficult or challenging to handle. We all have pet peeves, and higher expectations than the norm, and that is okay. We do not have an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, it is just the humans we are. You can’t tell me that we are the only people in the world like this, because men can be this way too. Either way, we don’t care, we know we are high maintenance. Being the way we are, can result in being responsible, and honest. We don’t carry around our opinions, we let loose.

High maintenance women are difficult, but we have goals. We are the kind of women who keep ourselves active every day. Whether that be running errands, or getting up to shower, we continuously have something to do repetitively. We aren’t boring, we are exciting and energetic. We can be very sweet and social, but if you piss us off, that’s your fault. It is still okay to be high maintenance.

It is OK, we have dreams. We have things we go for and we won’t stop until we do it. It just means we are more likely to do your laundry and plan the day than sit around and wait for nothing. We are the type of women who like the attention and affection. If we are speaking to you, make eye contact, or you will have one unhappy lady. If we are sad, comfort us, we don’t like to be ignored. Showing that you care about how we feel makes us all feel better. If it’s our birthday, we are the type to make that day one hundred percent about us, and only us. Did I mention high maintenance women are also selfish at times? Not all the time, but sometimes. Money isn’t an importance to us, living life in an organized, and healthy way is what gets our attention. Money is still nice here and there, so men, do not get any ideas. Overall high maintenance women are successful and smart. We know how to be sneaky, and be serious too.

It’s OK because it is our personality. High maintenance, teaches us to care about ourselves and our lives. It teaches us that we have a future ahead to be ready to take on. We have men or children that we might have to care for one day. It teaches us the meaning of striving for your goals, and not stopping. It tells us women that we are made of gold. We can be anyone we want. We are needy, but that is okay. We are organized, but that is okay. We are honest and blunt, but that is okay. Women have to express themselves which makes us feminine.

So, the next time you meet a high maintenance women, tell her thank you. Thank you for being the woman that has goals, responsibilities, and dreams. Although, tell her thank you, thank you for being clean, cause you will have a nice house one day. Tell her thank you for being put together too, because who doesn’t want to look good when they go out in public? Overall, tell her thank you for being a woman, because if it wasn’t for her expectations, your laundry might not be done next week.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
