Modern Wife Life

1. Nalgene... I'm a 90s child... and I ran cross-country in high school. But hey, I still think I'm an athlete. I am... right?

1. Get a tattoo (of anything other than a chinese symbol, a flower, or a butterfly).
2. Wear glasses.  Who cares if your vision is 20/20.  You'll be taken more seriously-- it's not a rumor.
3. Stack a bunch of eclectic bracelets and bangles on your arm.  You will look more worldly and well-traveled.  Who cares if you got them all from Forever21?
6. Wear everything in your closet 1x before you re-wear things.
8. Eat sushi.  Because let's face it, sushi says, "I'm cultured."
10. Go 1 day without make-up.  You'll definitely get more noticed.  Letting your guard down like this makes you instantly more "real" to acquaintances and classmates.
11.  When you're with people and need to take a phone call, step aside.  Not only is this simply polite, but it creates instant intrigue.  Who called you?  It must have been important.
13. Use a "face time" strategy when going out.  Stay at parties for an hour or less.  Casually bounce around to different groups-- but NOT rushing like late for an appointment.
14. Change your hair texture once a week (i.e. curly to straight or straight to curly).  Again, you'll get the double take and people will often think, "I wonder how long that took?"
15.Dress up for an interview when you don't actually have one.  It will probably intimidate the crap out of your colleagues.
16. Only update your Facebook status 1x a week, and make it WORTH IT (i.e. no song lyrics, or "what I ate for breakfast" statuses).
17. Hide your Facebook photos.  People will wonder.  Who cares what they're wondering-- at least they're wondering.
19. If you babysit, take the kids grocery shopping.  You'll get that look, "Hmm, is she a teen mom?"  Bam. You're more interesting. Mission accomplished.
20. Two Words: Trader Joe's.

This is my new favorite music video.   It's so relatable.  So touching.  So real.   If you don't know the artist, Dustin Tavella, be on the lookout!  More importantly, I must introduce you to Roman Dent, the director and producer of "Forget About Me."  Roman is a senior at the College of William and Mary, and he is going to be the next Hollywood director.  Check him outtttt here!  Oh, and he might be single ;)

AND my legs are totally in this video at 4:45 - 4:50.  100% serious!

Leave a comment below with your thoughts!  Does anyone else totally relate?

This photo has nothing to do with this article.  I was just feeling especially Native American today.  Navajo, baby.

1. Never make direct eye contact while putting on chapstick.  Unless you intend to send hardcore signals.
3.  Chivalry is undervalued in America.  If girls would start saying "thank you" more often, maybe we wouldn't have to open so many doors!
4.  If you have to park your car on a college campus, add 40 minutes to your drive time.
5. Remember: "Your dresses should be tight enough to show you're a woman and loose enough to show you're a lady." -Edith Head
7.  Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels, except for candy corn pumpkins, twizzlers, and waffles.  And midnight milky ways.  And Dominos. 
8.  Her Campus William & Mary is the best upcoming club on campus.  Drop.
9. You don't need a smart phone.  Don't give in.  No, don't do it! Who wants to join the boycott?
10. Approximately 90% of the time, it's faster to NOT go through the drive through window.
