A Girl’s Worst Nightmare: 6 Moments Where the Struggle is Real

There is nothing worse than the realization that your life as a female has automatically placed you into an entire realm of daily struggles. From something as simple as walking to class to strolling through the South 40, there is a whole variety of paralyzing moments that a girl can experience. While the acknowledgement of these nightmares will in no way prevent them, at least you’ll feel less alone the next time your heart drops to the floor.

1. Accidentally mooning the entire school feat. your backpack: Every girl dreads that horrifying moment when you feel an unusually cool breeze on your lower half and realize your backpack has hijacked the lower half of your outfit. Don’t be fooled by the lack of wind on a perfectly sunny day early this fall; there is no greater enemy to the skirt than the backpack.

2. Changing with the window open: No one wants to turn around in their room mid-wardrobe change to see some wandering eyes because they left their blinds open onto the baseball field… Not exactly the homerun those baseball boys were expecting.

3. Mistaken greetings: You think you’ve made it in life as a previous hookup or current crush says hi to you, only to realize seconds later that they were waving to the girl behind you. Yeah, you just waved at a guy who probably has no idea who you are.

4. The tampon avalanche: That moment when you try to discreetly pull out your phone/chap stick/gum from your backpack in the middle of class and suddenly a plethora of tampons comes flooding out… “But I can’t help it if I’ve got a heavy flow!” 

5. Not-so-cute sweat stains: When you realize you have significant boob sweat at the testosterogym as you make eye contact with that blonde-haired, blue-eyed babe in the weight room. While all the men around you grunt as they lift weights the size of a small child, you realize you will never look nearly as attractive covered in sweat.

6. Flashing the library via stairs: You make that usual trek up the stairs in Olin in a skirt and realize all of Whispers has just purchased tickets to a peep show. Isn’t it enough that you have exams to study for? Now you have to avert eye contact with all humans below you and you feel the need to avoid Whispers at all costs. Say bye-bye to your dear friend Mr. Mayan Mocha.
