GIRL TALK, period.

       The reason this blog began is because it's required for my social media class. In the class we have to post three blogs a week and read a book for in class discussions. One of the chapters in my book, The Art of Social Media ,  is called “How to Avoid Looking Clueless”, this chapter reminded me of the movie clueless which is possibly the best movie ever put out. It has a very “Means Girls” vibe which is probably why I like it so much. Clueless is a high school-based chick-flic and I very much recommend adding it to your girl’s night movie marathon! You may notice some of the lines were popular TikTok sounds or that Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” music video was based off of the movie.                  The main character, Cher, is a popular and rich girl at her Beverly hills high school. She sees herself as a match maker and does many things with her friends like hooking up two of her teachers and giving the new, un popular girl a total makeover. It’s a great movie a

       Oh, the amazing world of goo-goo eyes, slight smiles in passing and “I heard he likes you too”. Crushing on someone can be a lot of fun, but let’s make sure you’re doing this right. You never want to be too straight forward and scare him away, but we also know boys suck at hints. You have to be subtle but thorough while flirting with boys. While wooing the boy of your dreams you must act cool, calm and collected. Let him know you like him without actually saying it, let him make the first move. Give a look, an inviting side eye or maybe even a slight giggle in his direction. When the whole room is laughing, look towards him and make eye contact.  This might be a silly trick and it honestly might not work the best way but when I was in middle school and I had a crush on a boy and wanted to know if he was looking at me, I would yawn. Yawns are contagious so if he was looking at me, he would yawn too. This is a last minute and desperate last resort that you can tak

Listen, we’ve all been there. Grounded when you know you have something coming up that you HAVE to do. Well don’t worry, I have some ways to help this grounding get over fast.  Number one and the biggest one, do not complain about the punishment at all or bring up that you have something you want to do. The complaining will only annoy your parents and not make them feel bad; it might actually give them satisfaction if you really did something bad.  Secondly, do your chores on time and do them good. Be thorough and efficient, don’t give them a reason to add more to the punishment and if you’re really trying to impress and loosen that punishment, throw in some extra chores and do them without being asked. This will definitely help the process, make their day easier, not harder.  Next, if you’re grounded from phones and TVs, suggest a family game night. This might not help ease the punishment, but it beats staring at a wall all day and it honestly might make your parents

Okay, it’s time to talk about the one thing every teenage girl can understand and agree on, moms. You and I both know that moms can be a real pain in our butts, with the silliest rules, not understanding simple technology, and the worst yet... not closing the door after leaving your room. Moms make the worst-case scenario situations out of anything and everything you tell them about your day. We bite our tongues with attitudes and hold our eye rolls for when she turns around but somehow, she always knows that you did it.  Even though we could find 100 reasons why moms make us cringe, we could find 101 reasons why we need her. You know in the morning when you can’t find your favorite sweater that you knew you had hanging in you closet? You’ve looked 43 times, but you can’t seem to find it, so you go and ask your mom if she’s seen it and within one second of looking, she has it in her hands telling you that you’re blind. As annoying as this might be, moms really are like sup

     Mean girls can make your teenage years a living hell, but I know of a few ways to help you deal with them at school. I’m sure we all know the movie “Mean Girls” and that although it is very much over exaggerated, they didn’t do too bad of a job at depicting the average popular mean girl clique.       I know the easiest way to deal with someone who is un kind is either to snap back at them or completely ignore them. Now trust me, I always wanted to be that girl who snapped back, but what’s the point of calling them a mean girl if you’re going to be one too just to get back at them?       Dealing with means girls can be tricky but its actually pretty easy, no need to fly under the radar or even pretend they don’t exist because high school isn’t going to fun if you’re constantly avoiding people.  ***First off if there is something serious going on and it’s not just a mean girl in passing, please tell an adult. I know this may seem childish, but I promise that if i

     Trust me girl, going to a school dance alone will be the best time of your life. Dates can be annoying and clingy, keeping you from your friends all night. LAME! I went to most of school dances alone and I can promise you I had more fun with friends than I ever did with a boy glued to my side all night.                       Maybe you just went through a break up and “jimmy” asked a new girl or maybe “jimmy” is a crush of yours that you’re too scared to talk to, or you just aren’t crushing and your living the single life like a champ. No matter what your circumstance, this is a surefire way to rock your school dance solo.                     Don’t worry about the trends, wear what YOU feel comfortable in. If you don’t want a tight short dress that you’ll be pulling down all night, then don’t wear it! I can promise the more comfortable you are, the more confident you will feel!                     Make plans with friends! Just because you don’t

     Welcome to the blog! Since this is my first post, I've decided to share about myself to help make a closer connection with my audience, YOU! I'm hoping this will help you to understand me more as well as feel more comfortable reading my material and commenting/ possibly asking questions in the future.        I am Madylin and I attend Ohio Northern University where I major in Public Relations and minor in Social Media while also playing on the golf team. I am from Monroe Michigan where I just graduated from Jefferson High School in 2019. I miss home, my friends and family and my pets a bunch, but I've become well acquainted with my new hometown in Ada Ohio. Its not much different then back home, corn as far as the eye can see, but I'm stuck behind less tractors in Ada! I have many hobbies which include: golfing, making videos on YouTube and TikTok, hanging out with friends, and watching Grey's Anatomy anytime I get the chance. TikTok and Yo
