Things Us Girls Hate Now We're Older

1. Staying Up Late

Gone are the days when we wished for no bed time. Now we are stuck wishing for one lazy night in. With all the assignments due the next day, noisy neighbours and not to mention all the parties, we just HAVE to go to, theres not enough time for sleep, ever.

 

2. Getting our periods

Remember the days when we sat there wishing for our period so we could finally feel grown up? Boy, were we foolish!

 

3. Wearing a bra

Cringing just thinking back at the training bras I used to feel so grown up in. Oh dear God. Now I cant wait to get home just to take the damn thing off.

 

4. Going on Dates

I used to think Prince Charming was going to whisk me off into the sunset after a date. Now I realise it's just time for sloppy good night kisses or embarrassing small talk for the whole night. Give me Netflix anyday. I'll clearly end up growing old with it. It's meant to be <3

 

5. Wearing Heels

Parading in your mothers shoes that were a few sizes too big was the past time of many young girls. Now that we have to buy our own shoes the pain sets in. The prettier the shoes, the more your feet will pay for them. Sure you'll take them off half way through the night anyways, might as well parade in them while you can!

 

6. Wearing makeup

It used to be a novelty, you wore makeup just because you could, your mum finally let you buy your first mascara! Now, you feel that you cant leave the house without any makeup and the time and effort it takes is so not worth it since it all rubs off by the middle of the day anyways.

 

7. Going out at night

Not only does getting ready for a night out take half a day, but choosing what outfit to wear, what drink to buy and who will be there almost makes it not worth the effort. The drama, tears and drunken mess that ensues makes you vow to never go out again - until the next night.

 

8. Shaving our legs

Only now do I realise that my parents did right by forbidding me to shave my legs as a tween. I'm glad the stress, cuts and razor burn was kept from us for another few years. Not to mention the fact they have to be done basically every day for fear of feeling like a cactus. Ugh.

 

9. Living Alone

And having to buy your own groceries. This has resulted in so many college students living off 12c Teco noodles for the few days before the grant comes in. And the STRESS of carrying all the bags back with no car. Those plastic bags are useless.

 

10. Eating what you want

When we were younger our parents stopped us from over indulging all the time. What a waste of the fast metabolism! Now we have to watch what we eat, in fear of the already too-tight dress getting any harder to zip up.
