Today's Clothing Is Not 'Slim Thick' Friendly, Yo Girl Just Wants Jeans That Fit

It is literally impossible for me to find clothing that fits right.

Today's Clothing Is Not 'Slim Thick' Friendly, Yo Girl Just Wants Jeans That Fit

According to today's societal standards, I am what can be categorized as "slim thick." In other words, I have big legs, hips, and a butt, but my waist is still skinny. It's just naturally how my body is and always has been. Girls today envy people like Kim Kardashian who flaunt this figure. If you Google "slim thick," some of the first suggestions that pop up are "slim thick diet" or "slim thick workouts." Truthfully, being slim thick is a pain in the ass. Literally.

To start, nothing ever fits me right. Buying pants is literally the BIGGEST nightmare on earth. Half of the time, if I can get a pair of jeans over my thighs and butt, it looks absolutely ridiculous because it is loose around the waist. The pairs of jeans that don't fit over my thighs or butt or are extremely tight are usually perfect in the waist. Go figure.

Don't even get me started on dresses.

I usually have to buy dresses two or three sizes bigger because while they may be perfect on top and in the front, they barely cover my butt. Because of this, they are usually way too big on top and too long in the front. Ugh.

I used to have a ton of fun shopping, but now it is such a pain. I never know what sizes to grab because not only is every single brand different, I also just can't figure out a size that consistently fits.

What clothing designers need to realize is that all women are not either fat or skinny. We are not straight sticks without hips. Yes, it is still possible to be skinny but have thick thighs and a big butt. And if there are brands out there that cater to women's actual bodies, like Khloe Kardashian's Good American jeans, they are hundreds of dollars for one pair. Excuse me while I go sell my left kidney just to buy one pair of jeans.

If companies can make plus-sized clothing that goes up to 4X or petite clothing for smaller girls, why the heck can't they make clothes that fit different body types?! It just blows my mind. If I had a dollar for every time I had to try on pants, I would probably be able to start my own clothing line by now.

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.
