Why Lululemon Is Worth It

806

CAUTION -- If you don’t believe that leggings are pants, you may want to stop reading this article now, because leggings are indeed pants, and I know that Lululemon Athletica agrees with me.

Most of us go to class every day looking like we are headed to the gym. We obviously do this to be comfortable and because some of us are too lazy to pull on anything that actually requires a button and a zipper. But we also do this because sporting the latest athletic gear (whether we run five miles a day or not) is the definition of college casual wear. So, whether this is a good or bad thing, we might as well “be sporty” in the most fashionable way possible. And in my opinion, if this is indeed the comfy chic look you’re going for, you simply can’t go wrong with Lululemon.

This yoga-inspired athletic apparel company got its start in 1998 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Since then, Lululemon has become known for their stretchy performance fabric designed for all types of “sweaty pursuits” and is definitely a sorority girl favorite around campus. With Lululemon’s unique apparel designs and standout colors, it can turn a comfortable going to class outfit into a sporty chic fashion statement. There is no doubt that Lululemon makes rolling out of bed and throwing on a pullover a lot more glamorous than it really is, but this classy workout gear is also unfortunately known for being significantly overpriced.

I know many of you are Lulu experts and understand the performance quality of the brand, but for anyone wondering why anyone in their right mind would invest in $100 leggings, I’m here to explain Lululemon’s incredible quality with help from one of the experts.

Fellow Kappa and Lululemon employee, Dannan Lee, explained to me that the brand is more expensive because their products are made to last and that Lululemon’s great quality clothes are designed specifically for different athletic activities.

“I’ve talked to people who say they still wear their pants from four years ago,” Lee said.

Lee went on to explain that there is a “why we made this” tag on every product describing the product in detail so that learning more about the quality of each item is easy to do. 

I know I can agree with Dannan in that Lululemon takes athletic apparel to the next level with their quality and unique designs. And although I’m no yoga junkie or spend my free time training for marathons, I have to say that my Lulu leggings are my pride and joy. I seriously don’t remember the last time I wore actual pants. This may seem problematic on so many different levels, but my leggings have never been a disappointment. Because unlike other leggings that may in fact be a third of the price, Lulu’s leggings are built to last.

With this amazing quality you can walk to class in your Lululemon jacket and leggings and feel good about investing in a high quality fashion statement.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
