Bra Breakup: Nine Things That Happen Once You Say Goodbye
Bustle

Switching to a bra-less lifestyle is a full on commitment. You have to own and embrace this way of life, deciding to enjoy every moment of it-- good or bad. If you're thinking about taking on boycotting bras, or already have, these are some things you are guaranteed to experience.

1. You hear "I wish I could do that" all the time.


So... just do it? If I can do it anyone else can do it. All you have to do is throw those bras in the garbage, and start the first day of the rest of your life. I'm not understanding what is stopping you?

2. Hello extra money.

Aside from the empowering feeling of freedom, the money you'll save is the next best thing. Instead of buying over priced bras, spend that money on wine, tacos, get away weekends, whatever your heart desires.

3. Rachel Green becomes your spirit animal.

If she can embrace the bra free life style on national television, you can handle this feeling in your average life. Own it, girlfriend.

4. Conservative family members think it's "inappropriate."

Try to contain your eye roll and backlash comments. Some people are never going to change. Let them be the one's to suffer with the boob holding contraption they feel they need to wear every day. You do you and enjoy the comfort.

5. You become a spokesperson for the movement.


Resisting public rants about "Free The Nipple" and the social constructs of a bra is harder than it sounds. I don't care if nobody actually wants to hear about it, I want to talk about it.

6. Pasties are a blessing, but not on a hot day.

Dear God please do not let me sweat these pasties off.

7. You feel like a badass b*tch.

Once you kick that confidence in, you feel like nothing can stop you. You're owning your body. You might as well be Beyoncé.

8. Visible bra straps make you feel uncomfortable.

I know that doesn't feel good. Do you actually think that looks good? Pretty soon it will be the first thing you notice about someone and you'll instantly wonder that they are thinking.

9. You no longer have to deal with this traumatic experience.

You're welcome. Thank me later.

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.
