1.\tNever wearing dresses<\/h4>\n

You wouldn\u2019t be caught dead in a dress or a skirt. Especially not if it was pink, much to your mother\u2019s disappointment. Trackie bottoms and football shorts all the way.<\/p>\n

2.\tPeoples shock when they hear you owned a PlayStation 2<\/h4>\n

\u201cBut they\u2019re for boys!\u201d <\/p>\n

Well, you didn\u2019t care. To this day, you love to remind your brother that you beat Crash Bandicoot in far less time than he did.<\/p>\n

3.\tBeing really good at sports<\/h4>\n

Whether it was basketball or football, playing for your local team or kicking against the wall in your back garden, your talent was pretty damn impressive. Still is if you kept it up!<\/p>\n

4.\tPlaying with boys\u2019 toys were much more enjoyable<\/h4>\n

Building Hot Wheels tracks were just far more entertaining than Bratz dolls, though you still hold a grudge against your godmother for always buying you one that Christmas they were popular.<\/p>\n

5.\tYou started wearing make-up later than other girls<\/h4>\n

Other girls flocked into the first year of secondary school with perfectly smooth foundation, glossed lips and contour that could cut glass. You didn\u2019t really have any interest in hopping on the bandwagon until a year or two later.<\/p>\n

6.\t\u201cBorrowing\u201d your brothers\u2019 clothes<\/h4>\n

Whether older or a year or two younger, you always felt your brothers\u2019 hoodies and t-shirts looked a lot better on you. Plus, they were far comfier than your own clothes.<\/p>\n

7.\tSporting events were a massive deal<\/h4>\n

Wrestlemania or the Premier League, you had to be updated on everything that was going on. Emotions may or may not have gone into overdrive during this time.<\/p>\n

8.\tWanting to cut your hair really short, or constantly wearing your hair in a ponytail<\/h4>\n

Long hair gets in your face when you’re running around after a ball. Not only that, you highly doubt short hair got tangled as easily. <\/p>\n

9.\tYou were a bit more rebellious than your siblings<\/h4>\n

Tomboys are generally handfuls and very wilful. You were determined nobody was going to tell you what to do.<\/p>\n

10.\tThere\u2019s still elements of these things in you today<\/h4>\n

Maybe after all these years, you\u2019ve still kept up with the latest consoles. Perhaps you\u2019re part of your college sports team. Whatever it might be, some of these elements probably still shine through despite it being years later.<\/p>\n
