Sweatpants-Ponytail Girl
A girl who is chill and gives no fucks. She tells it like it is and is legit. She is true to herself and to the people around her. She is able to look beautiful without makeup and she knows what she wants; she is not high maintenance. She can kick it with her boyfriend without having to go out and being entertained. Music is a big part of her life and she likes simple things like movie nights. Sadly, this type of girl is very rare.
