An Open Letter to Dresses

You really are a beautiful piece of fabric

An Open Letter to Dresses

This one is for you, dresses. You are the true MVP of the hot summer months. You and your cute designs, fun colors and all around pretty aesthetic make my life better. Not only are you adorable, but you are a better option to pants. Now, I know you might hear that a lot, but it's true. Pants are nothing compared to you. You make my legs feel free, you give me even more of a reason to shove my freshly shaved leg into people's faces to show off how smooth they are. All in all, you're just a wonderful addition to my closet.

Now I know that we haven't really had the best relationship in life. I thought I was once too "cool" for dresses, or that they were "too girly" for my style, but in reality, I just missed out on years of true comfort because I was above dresses. But I have learned my lesson and now, I am hooked for life.

Here I stand, looking at my closet full of floral dresses that can turn into little bells if you pretend you're a little girl and spin around a lot, and I think about how lucky I am to be able to wear these dresses without people mocking me. And I think about how lucky I am to be able to walk around in these pieces of comfort fabric for all the world to see how cute I feel.

Dresses are the most comfortable things next to big sweatshirts but in these hot months, sweatshirts aren't really the best option. And if you know me, I could live in a sweatshirt for the rest of my life and I would be happy. But you, dresses, you got me hooked. And needless to say, you fulfill my comfort quota. Sweatshirts in the winter and fall and dresses in the spring and summer, it's perfect. It's the absolute perfect completion to my life.

You've controlled my life, I'd like you to know. Now anytime I'm in a store or in the mall, I have to go into every store to see if there are any more beautiful styles that I don't have or that I want to try out. It's becoming a problem and you are completely the one to blame. Don't get me wrong, it's an addiction that I am willing to continue, but I just thought you should know that you are probably the reason why I have no money and my paychecks are only in my bank account for a few hours.

But all in all, I must say thank you. Thank you for being there to make me feel cute. Thank you for being there to make me feel beautiful and wonderful. Thank you for finally giving me an image I actually like to see in the mirror. I haven't been happy with my reflection in a long time and you have helped me combat that.

I can't wait to spend more money on you and take you on more summer adventures.

Stay beautiful, you gorgeous piece of fabric.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
