It's Not Easy Being Teen

Hey errr'one.  Our most sincere apologies for our extended absence in the blogging world.  Life as teenage girls can get pretty hard...

which bring us to our topic: the struggles of adolescence.

Fashions to keep up with, reputations to uphold, and the opposite gender to impress.  These are just a few of the many obstacles we face.

1.) FASHION TRENDS

hair bows, combat boots, denim wear, maxi skirts, native patterns, you name it...we want it.

there's only one problem.  we gots no money. oh wait...that's where all our money goes.  it's not our fault that the second you walk into Forever 21 your mind is blown and you have the sudden urge to purchase every beautifully crafted article of clothing and/or accessory in sight. or when you find that "fits perfectly" pair of overpriced jeans at Urban Outfitters and find yourself in the check out line frantically attempting to justify the massive amount of money you're about to spend.  and let's not forget that floral head-wrap you just HAD to have. happens to the best of us...

and boys, we know you're not innocent here.  that 'OBEY' shirt definitely costed a pretty penny.

2.) SOCIAL LIFE

whether you have one friend or thousands, having a social life requires some sacrifice. who has time to turn in that online essay or study for that statistics test when there are football games to attend, homecoming dances to prep for and so on.... and let's just think for a moment about those fridays when you have a major quiz in ALL of your classes. well played teachers...well played.

 p.s. honors english, do you really think I am going to waste my precious summer days reading a book that makes about as much sense to me as the 'silly bandz' phase? good joke.

3.) LADIES & GENTS

we all have that special someone(s) we are constantly trying to impress..aaand now you're thinking about him/her. gotchya.

let's just be honest, the reason topics 1 and 2 are so important is because of this person.  girls, we know you aren't wearing those wedges cause they're comfy. ;) and boys, there's no way you're going to that dance concert to "support the performing arts program".

If you check their facebook/instagram multiple times every day...you're not alone. we all do it...i think.

and don't worry about those awkward/embarrassing moments you have in front of them...we've had our fair share of trips, falls, and stutters in front of our significant others and they still like us.  so don't lose hope. all is well.

And as this post comes to a close, we have a few GO's and HECK NO's to share with y'all.

GO's:
- anything studded
- coral, or floral
- flannels....yes please.
- good morning texts.
- cologne
- watches
- winks...enough said.

HECK NO's:
- crocs
- mandals
- mass texts that you thought were personal to you...not cool.
- comb overs
- tails, saggy pants and wife beaters. {please refer to previous post}
- never having a scrub day..loosen up. :)
- over dramatic-ness
- did we mention crocs?

Until next time.
