8 Everyday Problems Girls Have to Endure

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

Getting your period while wearing something whiteNothing ruins your day or your clothes like randomly getting your period…this seems to especially happen the day you decide to wear new underwear and white clothes. 

Having to go about daily life while on your periodBoys will never understand how awful it is to have to leave your bed during the first few days of your period. You’re hangry, irritable, sad, and worst of all…you have the most painful cramps when you have tons of stuff to do. 

Sneezing after putting on mascaraWhen I tell you I must be allergic to my mascara or something because I have to sneeze every time after applying it. Nothing ruins a ~fleeky~ winged eyeliner like mascara all over your eyelid. 

Lipgloss getting on your sandwich, straws, teeth…everythingI’ve come to the conclusion lipgloss looks good for about 10 minutes total. It either wears off, your hair gets stuck in it, or it ends up on all of your belongings. 

Picking the right underwear for your outfit

Picking out clothes is already hard enough early in the morning when you’re tired. Now you have to make sure your underwear doesn’t show any lines, show through your clothes, or ride up. Being a girl is sooo fun. 

Your nails chipping 2 days after having them doneI don’t know why I pay $12 for something that lasts about 24 hours. Life is not fair. 

Missing a spot shavingThere are very few things that annoy me as much as when I’m feeling my smooth, freshly shaved legs and I find a little patch of missed hair (most of the time near my ankle or knee) The worst is when you notice it while not in your home because you’re forced to walk around like that until you can get to your razor. 

Having to wear a bra ALL DAYBut being able to rip it off at the end of the day…priceless.
