Chubbies Shorts: “Sky’s Out, Thighs Out”

749

Across college campuses all over the nation, short shorts are making a revolutionary comeback thanks to the launch of Chubbies Shorts in the fall of 2011. And if I do say so myself -- it’s about time. This San Francisco-based shorts company is making this revolution possible by combining top-of-the-line comfort, raw materials, and style. These shorts are by far the most thigh-liberating, cargo-freeing, bald eagle flying, “Four More Years!” article of clothing you could own.       At some point in our lives, we have all uttered the phrase: "I hate pants." These three simple, but magical words inspired four Stanford graduates to do something about their hatred for pants -- and this my friends, is how Chubbies began, and the shorts revolution was born.
You may be asking yourself: "What exactly are Chubbies?" I’ll let the founders speak to that – "They are weekend BBQs in the sun. They are that perfect day on the beach. They are trampoline dodgeball and IM sports. They are radical moustaches and longboarding in Costa Rica. They go where no cargo shorts can go, and they do it in style."
Basically, chubbies are the shorts your thighs want you to put on each morning. Cause let’s be honest with ourselves, Wranglers aren't always your best friend when it’s 100 degrees out, and you’re gonna be at that tailgate for the next three hours.

With high quality materials, these completely American-made shorts are the perfect fit for any occasion. That’s right – even those spring formals. Chubbies has a massive variety of styles including gingham shorts, swimsuits, athletic shorts, tuxedo shorts, drawstring shorts, pastels, Hawaiian-shirt inspired shorts, flannel-lined shorts, corduroy shorts, and seer sucker, just to name a few.
If you men out there have ever seen anybody walking around campus in a pair of American flag thigh liberators, you have probably thought to yourself, "I want those. I need those." The ‘Mericas are by far the most popular short on the site, regularly selling out within an hour of being put up on the site. Their website, ChubbiesShorts.com, is the only way for you to get your hands on a pair of these bad boys. So, if your thighs are yearning for a pair, then head on over there and let ‘em know who sent you!
Speaking of America, have I mentioned that these shorts are solely made in the USA? The men at Chubbies HQ in San Francisco have made it a mission of theirs to ensure that every single pair of shorts will be designed and manufactured in this great country. Why do this? Because these men believe that as a company, they are living the dream, and giving back to America is their duty.
Getting its start in the fall of 2012, Chubbies began their College Ambassador program. Beginning with about 50 guys (including myself) Chubbies now has over 150 ambassadors at 120 different schools nationwide. Being a rep is quite a bit of work, but every minute of it is an absolute blast.
Fortunately, in the spring of 2013, Mr. Holden Gibson, who is a Sig Ep here at TCU, joined me as an Ambassador on the task of spreading the good word to this campus and beyond. While managing a Facebook page “Chubbies at TCU," we also get to chat with the founders each day on a Facebook group where all 150 of the most radical, outrageous shorts-slanging Patriots do some work for the company.
Throughout the year the company will send us new designs they’re working on, backpacks, portable coolers, and my personal favorite, brand new shorts. We’re very well taken care of, and we even get the chance to give input on new ideas they’re work-shopping out there in California.
When it comes down to it – word of mouth works. And we are the front lines for Chubbies across the nation. We get to wear the most outrageous shorts the world has ever seen, get free gear along the way, and we call this our job. It’s unreal. 
Chubbies has established itself as the shorts company across college campuses nationwide. With insane quality, customer service, a lifetime warranty, free exchange policy, and your legs finally getting to breathe, there’s no question that Chubbies are the right call. Men, do yourself a favor. Ladies, help them out. Order a pair, I dare you. You’ll never go back to those “pants” things ever again. And as we always say, your thighs will thank you.

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.
