There are some things that only single girls will get. It's a different world out there, you guys:

1. Grooming Is An Option Not A Necessity

So you haven’t bought a packet of razors since June 2013 and your legs are crying out to be mowed? Meh. Maybe later. Who’ll see them anyway?

2. Periods Are An Inconvenience Not A Reassurance

Ok so they’re never exactly welcomed with opened arms and a hug, but when you’re loved up, the pain is somewhat masked by the overwhelming relief if you're not trying. Whereas when you’ve been sleeping with nobody except your onesie, they just serve to remind you that being a girl is a painful inconvenience sometimes.

3. Fat Days Are Our Equivalent Of Dates

Whilst our love struck sisters are prepping themselves for another sexy Saturday night of flirting and fun, we’ll be prepping ourselves for a fat pants, make-up free, dominoes filled, laptop marathon.

4. Valentine's Day Needs To Feck Off

A day celebrating love is never going to be our thing. Honestly, it’s like being starved for two months and then being brought shopping in a sweet shop with a strict no taste policy.

5. Friends Insist On Setting You Up

Someone always knows a man that’d be just ‘perfect’ for you. You’ve since learned however, that someone else’s idea of perfect is pretty much your idea of hell, all encased into one awkward, drunk man form. No matter how many times you tell your friends that you are in fact happy to be single, they will still insist on setting you up with the most inappropriate, unattractive males they can find. Just grin and bare it.

6. Your Girlfriends Are Everything

With no male distractions, your female friends will be your everything. Sadly, we’ve all lost friends to the boyfriend curse, so treasure the single ones now, before they disappear forever. Who else could you wear a face mask, pluck your eyebrows and fart in front of, after all.

7. Over-Analyzing Texts Is Totally Normal

Most single girls have a man or two on text tap. It keeps the severe boredom from setting in on those long winter nights. It’s all a clever and cunning mind war, where the time between texts is the name of the game and exclamation marks, combined with x’s means one thing and one thing only. Possible future action.

8. Every Event Is A Pulling Opportunity

As a single lady, you may treat every outing as a pulling mission. You may as well. Play the field while you’re still fit and able. That said, there are some nights when all you’ll feel like doing is drinking cheap cocktails and dancing your little heart out with your best girlfriends and that’s more than okay too.

9. The Sight Of  Couples Holiday Pictures Makes You Gag

It’s not that we’re bitter, it’s just that if we have to scroll through Facebook one more time and witness ‘Joanne’ add another 45 pictures to the album ‘Summer Hols 2014,’ we may scream. Not because her holiday looks amazing you see, more the fact the Joanne’s album consists of varying shots of her, then her boyfriend, then her, then her boyfriend, then, well, you get the point. She must be stopped.

10. Befriending Men Is Seen As An Agenda

As a single girl, merely holding a conversation a man, can be seen as something much more. Every man must automatically presume that you’re up for it, that you’re flirting and fancy the pants off him when really, all you want to know is how many single friends he has. That and some platonic, male advice on males.

There are certain habits in life we need to kick as we get older. We’re not teenagers anymore, and many of us are not even students anymore, so let’s sort these bad habits out once and for all!

1. Staying up until ungodly hours of the night
We all have nights every now and then where we watch entire TV series until 5am in the morning. It’s usually a good idea to get out of this habit or you will burn out fast.

Help-me

 2. Setting the alarm early, so you can stay in bed longer

There is really no point in doing this at all, you’re just postponing the inevitable. It can be a harsh reality to face when you realise you have to get up, but putting your phone on snooze all the time won’t help the situation.

3. Binging on junk food at night
You could actually be really healthy and even have a salad during the day, then when you get home, you undo everything and binge on junk food at night. You spend the whole night eating crappy food and you still wonder why you aren’t losing any weight.

4. Spending stupid amounts of money on things you don’t need
You could be working but you still live with your parents, so you don’t have to pay rent. You have some extra cash to spend so you buy the most useless crap that you don’t need. It will all change when you move out…

5. Saying things that you don’t mean
When you say stuff like “No I‘m fine, it doesn’t bother me” it’s a very clear sign that it does. The person you’re saying it to knows it does so what’s the point incovering it up. Later on down the line when you’re in a serious relationship you need to be honest about how you feel.

6. Documenting every single part of your life
It’s seems nowadays we can’t just enjoy things, we have to document every little thing we do. When we go abroad, we spend more time taking photos than actually taking it all in. You might have a lot of photos when you come back, but you didn’t fully experience it.

 7. Living on your phone
There’s nothing worse than when you’re trying to have a conversation with someone and they’re too busy on their phone. Not only is it rude, but when you get older you will come across as being extremely anti-social. It will actually benefit you if you put your phone down for once and have a proper conversation.

8. Drunk texting your ex
It’s not going to do any good in all fairness, all it’s going to is bring up bad memories that you’re too drunk to remember. At the time you think it’s a great idea, but in the morning you’re actually disgusted with yourself.

9.  Watching too much reality TV
There is very little reality in reality TV anymore, you can almost the write the show yourself it’s so predictable. Somehow, people get famous from it and are now seen as celebs. Watching reality TV actually makes you feel a little bit dumber.

 10. Spending ridiculous amounts of money on a night out

When you just got paid you’re delighted and end up spending lots of money on booze as well as offering to buy other people’s drinks. The next day you realise that you spent a good chunk of your wages and only have 20 euro to do you for the rest of the week.

11. Drinking way too much in the process
When you’re young you can drink your body weight in alcohol and feel a tad drunk. When you get older you will realise that you can barely have two without feeling tipsy. Your body can’t sustain the amount of alcohol you consume, so it’s better to slow down and stick to the wine.

12. Social smoking
You might think that it’s harmless and you’re only doing it to be social, but soon you start to do it more often and it becomes less social. Most people can actually control themselves, but for others it becomes the habit that you can’t kick.

13. Being too lazy to socialize
You have every intention of going out on the weekend, but for some reason or other you decide at the last minute not to bother. Sometimes you’re just not  feeling up to it, but a lot the time you’re just too lazy and you’re missing out on a chance to meet new people.

14. Procrastination
You become an expert at this in college, but when you get older you need to learn how to use your time wisely. You can’t just do everything the night before work, you actually have to put the hard yards in before.

15. Putting off exercise
You made a promise to go to the gym more, you went once and haven’t gone back since. You don’t need to go the gym to exercise, even if you just do some running, it’s better than not doing anything at all.

16. Being afraid to fail
Not everything is going to go the way you wanted it to go in life, sometimes its better to accept that you have failed and move on. You will learn way more about yourself when you fail than if things always go your way.

17. Being Indecisive
When you get older, you will have to make some tough decisions, so it’s better to break the habit now rather than later. It shows a lack of maturity if you can’t decide on things and at this stage in your life you should really know what is good for you by now.

18. Acting like a complete slob at home
If you are still living with your parents it won’t bother you as much. When you eventually have to move out, your roommates will getting sick of you leaving a mess everywhere. If you’re actually tidy at home it will pay off when you end up living with your partner.

mDghYs3

19. Having an excuse for everything
You will never take the blame for anything and you will always have some excuse for when you mess up. It actually shows maturity if you can admit when you’re wrong and not have some reason why things didn’t go as you planned.

There's certain things girls with an older sister always learn way before their counterparts. That's why we love them! 

 1. Always Choose Between Showing Legs Or Your Chest. Never Both
Such an important lesson to learn if you don't want to look back on photos of that teenage disco with major embarrassment. 

tumblr_mkuyr49jdB1rcqdieo1_500

 

2. When Make Up is Too Much Make Up
Lips or eyes. You are a lady, not a lady of the night.

 

3. No One Will Ever Have Your Back Quite Like Your Sister
They don’t care who the person is.  If someone messes with their little sister, you are f*cked. Better than an older brother aswell because they can be bitchy too!

 

4. Your First Break Up Won’t Be Your Last
You might have felt like the world was ending when you were no longer each others other halves on BEBO. However not only is your sister there to help you through this difficult time, she is there to let you know that it will happen again and again but she will always be by your side through it all.

 

5. She Will be the Kick in the Ass You Need
Nobody can ground you like an older sister. You think you’re the sh**? Before you came along they ruled this joint. They will always be happy for you and they will be the ones who are cheering the loudest but when you need it they are there to bring you back down to earth.

6. The Pill
The spooky contraceptive pill. An older sister is like a cushion between this difficult topic and your mother. She will always help smooth out any situation.

 

7. Respect For Yourself
Your sister will never let you doubt the person you are and will never let you settle for anything less then you deserve. Even though it might be her worst nightmare, she is the one to let you know it’s OK that you would much prefer to have a Star Wars marathon instead of America's Next Top Model. As long as it doesn’t clash with the Keeping Up with the Kardashians reruns, you can do whatever you want. She will set your little weirdo soul free.

8. Music
At a time when DJ Boonie was unstoppable, your sister was there with the Beatles, Bob Dylan and Newton Faulkner. She is the one that will teach you there is not just the music you hear on MTV.

9. Two Wardrobes
Any time you’re sporting a new top or dress, it will more then likely have come from your very own boutique called, ‘I found it in my sisters room.’  Arguments ensue by you insisting that she gave it to you ages ago, or that it simply came in with your laundry so it must be yours.

10. How to Leave a Row with No Real Winner
You will never have a fight like you do with your sister. It becomes less of a row and more of a competition of who can bring their voice to a level where only dogs can hear you. They may be often but they never last for long. You get whatever you need out of your system. You will always love her, you just don’t have to like her on occasion.

11. You Learn How to be Competitive
There will always be a bit of competition with sisters, especially when you’re younger but after a while you learn how to be a gracious loser in some aspects and you become comfortable in your own roles.

12. She Knows How to Make You Laugh
No one can make you laugh uncontrollably like your sister can. Meanwhile your mother will wait quietly in the corner like a nervous wreck because she knows it will only end in tears.

13. She is the Most Honest Person In Your Life
If you look like sh** she will be more then happy to tell you but she will also have an alternate outfit waiting on the sideline.

14. You Were her Doll Growing Up
So she shouldn’t be surprised when you copy her from time to time.

15. She’ll Teach You How to be Bitchy
No one can teach you the art of bitchiness quite like your sister.

16. You Always had a Fake ID
You didn’t have to go at your provisional license with a sharpie. You had the real thing, even if it wasn’t you. You also learned how to snatch and run if the bouncer got suspicious and tried to confiscate it.

17. Matching Clothes
When you were five, it was cute and adorable. However she was a few years older, she hated every second of it. It’s probably why she threw a few unearned slaps your way from time to time.

18. You Have Your Very Own Cheer Squad
They will encapsulate your own mother by being the most embarrassing cheer leader imaginable. 

19. You’re Never Alone When You Have a Sister

There are some things in life that truly shake us ladies to the core. Many are irrational, but that makes them no less scary.

1. Being A Cat Lady Forever

catperson

Cats, cats everywhere…

2. Being An Ugly Bridesmaid

cinderella4

Being a bridesmaid is a catch twenty two. On the one hand, you’re flattered that someone would ask you to be their right hand woman on the biggest and most important day of their lives. On the other hand, you’re terrified that you’ll have to spend a day being photographed in the ugliest dress known to mankind, whilst the bride stands beside you in an attempt to look even more beautiful.

3. Childbirth

tumblr_inline_n8ecpcIb231r6jzi4

Oh god it’s so scary looking….agh!

4. Realising He’s Not The One

brad_006

We’ve all seen the fairy tales, read the books, attended the weddings. We know that true love actually does exist, apparently. We now just need to find it and not mess up along the way. Our greatest love related fear, is doing what they all do in films and marry the first man that comes our way, only to discover that he’s really not right for you.

5. Being The Ugly Duckling

lies-women-tell-fugly-ugly-white-lies-gif

What if if we’re the ugly ducklings of the family or even worse, our friend group? What if, even though we’re aware that our family are good looking, we actually think that we ourselves, are better looking than we actually are. What if we’re totally rank? Better go and scrutinize every single picture ever taken, for definite evidence.

6. Kids

1501806_o1

Just kids in general. They’re loud and cry a lot. Then there’s the whole issue of having to give up a large portion of your life to care for them.

7. Waking Up With Wrinkles

gif-king-5ec29bf09e26517b3ac000ef7721171b

Ever since we’ve poked the lines on our Grandmothers face, we’ve been more than a little scared of wrinkling. Moisturise. It’s key in anti ageing, so they say. Yet, despite going to bed every night with a three inch layer of Astral on our faces, we can’t help but fear waking up with a perfectly ruled face.

8. Getting Grey Hairs

tyra

Mention balding to any man and watch the colour drain from his face. Priceless. Watch them mention grey hairs to us and you’ll pretty much get the same reaction.

9. Being Stuck In A Dead End Job Forever

giphy

We’ve all had to work crappy jobs at one stage or another. Bad money, customers you want to slap. It’s on the worst days that you being to ponder if this is all there is. What if you spend the rest of your life in this miserable, degrading job? Best not to think about that.

10. Our Metabolism Slowing Down Drastically

ibknaWXycTb9Pn

Now, that’s not to say that we’re completely oblivious to the effects of eating one too many Snackboxes. It’s just that after reading one too many ‘articles’ on ‘celebrities’ and their daily struggles with weight gain, that we start to wonder when we’ll have to live on a diet of baby food and fear. It’s coming…

Ah, 21. The age of adulthood. The age where you realise this life is yours and you better look after it. Here are some things you should have learnt before turning 21, but if you’re anything like us, didn’t.

1. How to budget properly
No more splashing that cash! It’s time for rules.

Money

2. Knowing your limits
This isn’t only when it comes to  drink, but also taking care of your body. When you’re young, you don’t really think much about taking care of your body, but when you get older you start to realise that it’s more about preservation.

14614-Did-Somebody-Say-Vodka-

3. How to cook for yourself
This doesn’t mean making yourself a turkey sambo or sticking a pizza in the oven. It’s being actually able to cook healthy food and have enough variety that you don’t get sick of having the same thing every night.

tumblr_inline_mpo8ah6HXO1qz4rgp

4. There is no such thing as a junk food diet
No matter how much you may love junk food or have a sweet tooth, eventually you will realise that you can’t actually live eating junk food everyday. It’s ok in moderation, but junk food should be a reward or a way to treat yourself.

giphy

5. Eventually things will catch up on you
Whether it’s you’re metabolism,  lack of sleep or you’re total neglect of exercise, it will all catch upon you.

tumblr_m8fwms9z1u1r81wtbo1_500

6. Failure is always an option
You will learn ten times more from failure than you do from constant success, if  everything is rosy all the time you will never see your weaknesses. Failing makes you reassess things and sometimes it can be something really simple that you never saw before.

bridesmaids-movie-quotes-30

7. Being jealous of others is unhealthy
When you were younger, you would always be jealous of what everyone else had and as you got older you became jealous of other people. Jealousy is poison and the more you let it consume you the more you lose the sense of who you really are.

Why-are-you-so-jealous-gif

8. Being older doesn’t make you any less awkward
Just because you’re that little bit older doesn’t mean your personality will drastically change. If you were awkward back then, odds are you’re just as awkward – if not more – now. You can learn to be less awkward around people, but you can’t just expect it to happen.

tumblr_inline_mly0t5YMO41qz4rgp

9. Maturity doesn’t happen overnight
Maturity comes from experience and you don’t suddenly becoming mature just because you’re older. Sometimes you have to learn this the hard way but that’s ok, you’re still only a young adult.

kelso_maturity

10. Don’t worry so much about what people think about you
There comes a stage in your life when you really just don’t care what people think of you. This isn’t to say you should act like an asshole and do what you want without thinking of the consequences. It’s more the fact you don’t have to live your life trying to please everyone you meet.

i_dont_care_what_you_think

11. Nothing ever lives up to your expectations
This isn’t always a bad thing though, because sometimes you expect something horrible and you’re pleasantly surprised. On the flip side, when you spend time building something up in your head, it never turns out as you expected it to.

Amy-Poehler-Lower-Your-Expectations

12. Don’t dwell on the past so much
It’s ok every now and again to take a look at your life and see where you’re going, but if you live in the past you won’t see what’s ahead of you.

tumblr_lxz2lfy8Xg1qdc98ko1_500

13. Don’t be afraid to ask others for help, we’re all in the same boat
Odds are that you’re not the only one who needs it, so don’t be afraid to ask for someone else’s help, you never know, you might be able to help them with something in return. If you in a dark place its always better to ask others for advice on how to get out of it.

help me

14. You can’t live with your parents forever
As cushy as living with your parents may seem, sooner or later you will have to move out and get your own place. It may seem daunting, but you and your friends can share a place when they all have a job. It’s like staying on a tour bus with your mates, be prepared to hate them.

13bc6d28-b5fe-4df3-b5c6-1123c211b838

15. College isn’t for everyone
If you’re 21 and you have dropped out of college twice already, maybe it just isn’t for you. Some people are more suited to going straight into the working world and know exactly what they want to do. They don’t have to waste money on doing a degree that won’t benefit them in any way when it’s all said and done.

ted-college

16. Finding a job you love is better than just finding a job
We all need money right? But if you know what you want to do and it’s actually viable, then go do it. You might have to get other jobs in the meantime but don’t settle for what you have if you really want to go further.

tumblr_mhiw68MoiU1qe11kdo1_500

17. It’s better to have a few great friends than loads that you can’t count on
Your no longer in school and it’s not about popularity anymore. If you have a small group of friends that you can trust and know that they’ve got your back you don’t need much more. They will always be there when you need them and you will always return the favour.

tumblr_m4lhpzbWgN1qluqox

18. It’s better to have bad relationships now than later on
When you’re young, it’s the best time to break-up with your girlfriend and get back together again. It’s the time to cheat and the time to get cheated on. When you get older you have to commit and be loyal and you don’t want to end up like the people on Jeremy Kyle.

tumblr_m9h6lfBFJu1rv3b62o1_500_large

19. If you think they’re the one they’re most likely not
As the saying goes, love is blind but there is much more to a relationships than you think. It’s not always those that are a perfect match that end up being with each other in the end.

10073186

20. Just be you: that’s all that matters
There is so much pressure from the media to look a certain and think a certain way. They’re wrong! What makes people attractive is that they have a way of looking at the world. Be comfortable in your skin, we’re not all super =models, and frankly,we’re better off because of it.

zac-efron-fabulous

21. Your life hasn’t turned out the way you expected it, but that’s ok
We all have a vision of how our life will turn out and that it will be smooth sailing. It can be a harsh realisation when things don’t happen for you, but you shouldn’t be deterred. You still have a life to live and make what you want of it, the only thing is that when it’s all said and done, you did it in your own way.

Some of them we love, some of them we love to hate. Either way, things get crazy with this lot around!

1.  Your BFF
You guys hang out constantly and Snapchat each other when in need of a bitching sesh. This is the girl you go to when you feel awful and she won’t necessarily have to say much, but her just being there makes life that much more bearable. This is the type of friend that knows everything about you and everything seems hilarious when you’re with them.

2. The silly girl
That friend that has literally no idea what the hell is happening 24/7. She will just laugh at everything that everyone else laughs at and say she gets it, when she clearly doesn’t. Every entourage needs one of these though!

3. The sports-mad gal
The mate that tweets and Snapchats sports stats and rubbish about sport that we really don’t care about.

4. The “lady”
The girl that has so much grace, class and poise that it is beyond you. The one friend that eats pizza and burgers with a fork and a knife and keeps her heels on all night.

5.  The social butterfly
That one friend that knows absolutely EVERYONE. You simply can’t walk around campus with them, without being stopped and introduced to a group of people you never knew existed. On nights out she will be messaging everyone and round up a massive crowd for pre-drinks, and you probably won’t see her again for the night.

6. The loud-mouth
That friend that does not have an indoor voice and if she sees something funny she will loudly broadcast so. They are the best craic and beyond hilarious but can we please turn it down a notch.

7. Oprah
The friend that assumes she can solve all your problems and, more importantly, points out your problems to you. She lectures you and tries to inspire you, when in reality you would rather the problem remain unsolved than hear her out.

8. The beauty and the brains
We all have that friend that is so stunning but also has the smarts to back it up.

9. The Disney freak
The friend that knows all the Frozen songs off by heart and thinks Olaf is the “cutest thing ever.” They’re in second year of college and are still attached to everything Disney, and still sport Disney t-shirts and merchandise into classes. You gotta love them though!

10. The outcast
That friend that stands out of the group and is totally different from everyone else!

11. The cynical one
That friend that is so cynical and so negative but you can’t help but love them. Their comments about things are simply hilarious and sometimes make no sense at all.

12. The clubs/socs butterfly
The friend that has no time for anybody or anything because they’re so absorbed in some glee club stuff. They are now on the committee of a club/soc and they constantly beg you to bring yourself and friends to their college events, which you say you will but never do.

13. The foodie
The friend that is a beast when it comes to food. Yes, they will pick food up which fell on the floor and claim that it is perfectly edible. They claim there is a “40 second rule.”

14.  The band member
The mate who has become part of  a band which you have no idea about. The band member friend will always invite you to their gigs, but you’ll never show up.

15 . The keep-fit babe
The friend always Instagramming clean meals and healthy meals and posting her workout routine that make us all feel like sh**.

Life is for living, and sometimes we all let social pressure get on top of us. We allow society to tell us how we should live, instead of actually living. Here are some things us ladies should never feel guilty about:

1. Enjoying social beverages

tumblr_n7yqdkvVaD1qk08n1o1_500

As long as your drinking habits haven’t escalated into problem territory, then you order that Long Island Iced tea and you enjoy every drop of it. There’s nothing wrong with sitting back with few beers and enjoying yourself with friends.

2. Having a healthy social life

will-and-carlton-dance

There’s nothing like a night out on the tiles to lift a bad mood. If, every so often, you like to kick back and enjoy some good, old fashioned twerking to the beats of Dirty Dancing, then power to you. Don’t let the haters tell you otherwise.

3. Wanting to see the world

tumblr_n7feeuaQYL1s22rc8o1_400

Or don’t, it’s completely your decision. Do what makes YOU happy – not anybody else!

4. Having your cake and eating it too

tumblr_ll1lvhr9Mw1qjmv8fo1_500

If you want that second piece of biscuit cake or that third bag of Meanies…have it! Balance is the key.

5. Not living in the gym

gym-dance

While going to the gym is a really great way to feel good and keep fit and healthy, don’t let yourself get worked up if you miss a day.

5. Being a proud single pringle

42791137058

Make the most of that single life, you’ll never regret it!

6. Or be proud and loved up

tumblr_mrhnsjpUlY1r08daqo1_500

You’ll hopefully never regret this one either!

7. Being well mannered

So what you can’t tell that waiter he is being an a**, he probably knows anyway.

8. Not being a slave to fashion

tumblr_mgyoqaly0h1qbooxeo3_500

So you don’t spend the vast majority of your wages in River Island? In this celebrity influenced, appearance drenched society, not dressing just like everyone else, is never a thing to feel guilty about.

9. Having odd tastes

Have you inherited a love of all things retro from your parents? Do you fail to see the appeal of Walter White or does the Game of Thrones hysteria baffle you? Not to worry. You fly that odd flag high and proud. It’s what separates and differs you. No guilt necessary.

Ah college, you served us well. Now that we have entered the dreaded real world, we have come to appreciate the time we spent in college, lazing away and occasionally strolling around the library.

Here are some of the things we are still mourning about college life:

1. It’s still socially acceptable to be an immature eejit
Not a girl, not yet a woman.

12. College is the last time you’ll have absolutely zero responsibility
The only task you have is to pass your exams, everything else ultimately ends up in the care of someone else.

23. It’s okay to scrounge off your parents
You can call up your parents and ask them for rent (beer) money without hesitation, and they will usually give in to your request.

34. You don’t mind drinking cheap beer and vodka
Tesco finest vodka and gin and maybe some Buckfast for good measure.

image505. You don’t work a full-time job
Because you can’t. Hello, we have tutorials. Zzz…

u6. Having the freedom to come and go as you please
Missed a lecture? It’s graaaaand, you’ll totally make it next week. But you miss work ONE time and they freak. What’s the deal?

giphy7. Not having mind-crushing hangovers
Remember when you could down a naggin and wake up singing? Us neither, puuuke!

l

8. It was still somewhat somewhat acceptable to take weird drunken photos.
Now you’ll never get hired if these hit your newsfeed…

Drunk-People-horse9. You enjoy living weekend to weekend
Before you started working full time, you could party anytime you like, now it’s strictly Friday and Saturday nights. How dull.

giphy10. 4 months off in the summer
Ah, them were the days. This gem even inspired a lot of us to become teachers, you know.

The ’90s were such as simple decade. While technology may have made our lives a little easier, there are still some very annoying things we have to deal with now that we didn’t way back when.

1. #whatdoesthisevenmean

tumblr_myxvdsqMv31tnxusfo1_500

Hashtags are possibly the most annoying thing to come from smart phones.

2. But first, let me take six selfies

tumblr_n5lj282ukt1toxnu4o1_500

Actually, THIS is the most annoying thing to come from a smart phone!

3. Sorry, can’t talk. On my phone.

tumblr_lxh639q4Fo1r3eh7mo1_500

People on phones at the cash register have to be the worse people in the world. So. Rude.

4. You have been tagged in seventy photos

tumblr_inline_ml37s8ugLK1qz4rgp

That Sunday morning feeling… *shudder*

5. Lov3 Yewww So Much Hunni xoxo

tumblr_mnk1jtaLtG1stnucso1_500

Facebook relationships are the worst relationships.

6. Lost in translation

tumblr_mdwxicskIH1rvawku

Text fights are so easily caused because the tone of the message can be lost. Just make a phone call and avoid that long-lasting family fight.

7. Reality television

tumblr_mlwvqz7GS31rwowhzo1_500

Okay, so it may be brain dead and we wish it was never invented, but damn it’s addictive.

8. Lack of bacon and cabbage

tumblr_m544zrf4DB1qm7166o1_500

Bring back the classics! Enough of this nouveau-food crap!

9. RIP light up runners

tumblr_n2edeyIiCu1ro8ysbo1_r1_500

We would totally still wear these.

10. Rejection central

tumblr_mc778vf4uz1qih9gi

It was so much easier to take rejection back in the ’90s, obviously they weren’t able to get through because the phone was engaged.

You know the moment you hear that opening track to SATC, it’s gonna be a good day.

Here are some valid reasons why Carrie Bradshaw will always be the ultimate style and life icon:

1. She is unarguably, the Queen of Heels
She educated a generation of women to the simple principal of ‘ A Woman’s Right to Shoes,’ and played a hand in fostering what is now a deep love for Manolo’s.

Carrie Bradshaw Shoes2. She’s upfront about things
She tells it like it is, and you have just gotta admire a woman who has the balls to do that. Carrie we salute you!

Well Dont Be A Bitch

3. She’s not perfect
She shares all the same neurosis about men that we do, even if we haven’t quite stalked our other halves at mass with their Mammy’s yet. You never know, give us time.

mass

4. She’s a classy lady
If we could wear a ballgown to McDonald’s, we totally would.

 5. She’s our relationship spirit guide
Yes, over the course of 6 seasons there were lots of men, and one or two re-run’s thrown in for good measure. However Carrie never settled, she never sold out, and she kept searching for her dream man until she finally found him.

It’s time to enter the so-called “real” world. Here are some hard lessons you will soon learn in this next exciting phase of your life.

1. Wages
You’ll be paid a whole lot less than you think thanks to those lovely things we call taxes. Never heard of ’em? You will soon.

tumblr_m34h2vX6To1r3bcb9o1_5002. Co-workers
Some of them won’t like you, it’s natural, but try to learn from them. All they see is this self proclaimed hot shot coming straight out of college whereas more than likely you’re a diamond in the rough and need to be cut and polished before you can be left to your own devices.

Scarlett-Johanson-Poison-Everyone-Hate-Job-Coffee-Gif3. Your boss
He or she may have been on the interview panel, and may have asked you personal questions in order to assess your suitability for the position but don’t for a second think that they didn’t forget your name the second you walked out the door.

Coworkers4. Don’t stand still
Technology is changing every day, exponentially and the days of getting locked into a civil service position for life are becoming less and less. Self  improvement and up-skilling are the key to you staying relevant while moving forward. So take advantage of any courses or seminars that will better you. If you stand still you’ll become an unmotivated drone!

the-office-25. Bringing in lunch
You probably learned this in school but keep the smelly lunches to a minimum. Healthy, scentless food will be better for you in the long run, both in popularity and in health situations.

tumblr_mcgxulgneq1ri5c15o1_500_zpsc788be346. Gossip
The water cooler conversations as they are now well known throughout the world. Learn to keep your comments neutral and rarely gossip about people in your new work. You don’t know how long the person you are speaking to has been there or where the allegiance lies. Just nod and smile, people, nod and smile!

Thats-What-She-Said-Michael-Scott-Last-Episode7. Inter office relationships
Look, it’s going to happen. People just can’t control themselves and make extremely poor choices but make sure it doesn’t hinder you. The fewer people that know, the better. You don’t want to become the gossipee, do you?

joanroger8. Take the right “sick days” off
Some people never take a day off, some people do. But unless you have your spine hanging out maybe don’t take a Monday off after a massive weekend on the piss. Go in and deal with everything “the fear” has to throw at you. The odd Monday is fine, of course, but repetition will be noted.

sick9. Office parties
Please be on your best behaviour at these events. It’s so easy to swallow a bit too much eggnog at the Christmas party and deliver a few home truths about your boss, but that kind of behaviour will land you straight in HR on your first day back.

2yynho110. You will make mistakes
Ask questions because everybody makes mistakes. If you keep your mouth shut, you will walk head first into these mistakes so take the initiative and ask someone who can you a heads up!

And of course, above all, enjoy!
