Why Being a Girl is Awesome

Have you ever said to yourself, man I wish I was a guy. Or, this would be so much easier if I were a guy. I totally have. Usually when I need to pee and realize that it would be so much more awesome if I could just run off to the woods or relieve myself in a bottle in the middle of rush hour traffic.

But regardless of the ability to pee anywhere we want, there are a ton of things that are awesome about being a girl that are more than having doors opened for you.




Be it the last tissue in the box, last pen from the offering, or the last cupcake, you will get it. Guys know they would look pretty douchey if they just up and took the thing you both reached for at the same time. This was useful mainly in the grade school lunch line when the last pudding was up for grabs.


If you're having a girls night, drinks will flow from other men and possibly lesbian bartenders. Most of the time, it takes little to no effort on a woman's part. We just have to smile, be nice, and engage in some polite conversation before the, "OhI'mTaken/Engaged/MarriedbutThanksfortheDrinkKBye" has to come out. You might to put up with some bad pick-up lines but drinks are like $12 now.



For the record, the worst pick-up line I've ever heard in my life but caused me to almost fall over in a bar with laughter?

Guuurl, you look so good, Imma get you pregnant!

I love shoes. Obviously.

BUT when I find truly great shoes? You better believe I am getting them in every color. Case in point: these heels cost me $30 from Payless, the Christian Siriano collection.



They are the most comfortable pumps on the planet then when they came out in black patent leather, I had to do it. This goes for clothes, bags, everything. It's not weird. 


Pop songs are built into our DNA to make us stop everything that we are doing, shake our rumps, and sing as loudly as we can. It doesn't matter if it's out of key, we still think we sound like Katy Perry. Give us a mic after a few glasses of Chardonnay, and we're Whitney Houston. You might cringe and think we sound like dying cats but there is nothing on the planet that is more fun than belting out your old favorites with your bestie. 

I swear it's the first we've ever heard it. We just magically know all the words.


I know. You're upset. We're essentially wearing stretchy sweatpants. To work.

Do you know how much time goes into transforming from this to this?



A long freaking time.

There's eyeliner, mascara, foundation, outfit showcasing, and also taking multiple self portraits to send to friends for approval. We need to have opinions about this because who else is going to tell us, "Are you really wearing that? Because you're gonna get laid in that skirt."

I hope you brought a book.


I'm a chick. I won't order a greasy burger -okay yes I will- and fries. I'll order a salad. You'll make the mistake of offering me a fry and before you know it, you're sharing your meal with me.

Don't look at me like that. You offered. Plus, your french fries taste better.



Our friends are our everything. You mess with them, you mess with us. Girlfriends share a bond that goes much deeper than 'Bro's Before Ho's', meaning that you hurt one of us, your ass is grass.





What do you think? Did I leave anything out?

oh man I miss free drinks! when I was in college and my husband and I were engaged at the time he told me a few times to take my ring off so he could pimp me out for free beers. Not even ashamed to say it worked some times haha.
