8 Reasons Why Jeans Are Truly The Worst

The pockets are never big enough. The pockets are never big enough. THE POCKETS ARE NEVER BIG ENOUGH.

If we're being honest, most of us can agree that jeans are terrible. Sure, jeans go with almost anything and everything. There are downsides to them though. People need to know that jeans aren't the best choice for your legs. Every time you wear them your legs go to pants jail. That's no fun. So, I'm here to explain why wearing jeans when you can wear sweats or leggings needs to be discussed.

1. Finding jeans that fit you is near impossible

First of all, who decided that the leg size of someone is related to their hip or waist size? Short people are out there struggling to not trip on their pants while tall people want pants, not capris. Sure, you can hem them, but that is another load of money to spend.

2. Jeans are restricting

Have you ever tried to run the mile in a pair of jeans? It isn't fun. Jeans don't allow you to move as much as you can in sweatpants, leggings, or athletic shorts.

3. Jeans are either cheap and will soon rip or destroy your bank account

When you do buy jeans, you want to buy a pair that will last a while. Those jeans most likely cost $30 or more. You can go to Target and get sweatpants for $20. As a broke college kid, I'm going for the sweatpants.

4. Putting them on and taking them off is a battle

Even when jeans semi-fit you still find yourself doing the "pants dance". Jeans are not the kind of pants that you "just slip" on. You think you're going to get ready in 5 minutes when you have the battle of jeans to deal with.

5. When you start to sweat, it stays there. It has nowhere to go

It's wonderful to have your legs drowning in sweat because the sweat is being absorbed by the fabric of the devil.

6. "They're so comfortable." LOL

The moment you get home you rip your jeans off. They are not comfortable whatsoever. After being in them for the entire day, all you want to do is get into your sweats and watch Netflix.

7. THE POCKETS ARE NEVER BIG ENOUGH

Yes, I put that in all caps because it is the most infuriating thing. Where do you put your phone? What if you don't have a purse with you? What if you don't like purses? You can barely fit clothes pin into these so-called pockets.

8. You almost always have to get a new pair every year.

Ok, on occasion shopping can be fun. Jean shopping is the worst. Shopping for a new pair every year is like taking the SATs or ACT every year. You want to cry.

Jeans are pants of the devil. You get your daily exercise in trying to put them on. You 100% wish you didn't wear them the moment you leave your home. Leggings, sweatpants, or shorts are much better. Or you can go with a solid choice of nothing on your legs by wearing a dress. Choose your leg clothing wisely.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
