Dear Victoria's Secret

Your biggest size is a large, most women don't fit into your apparel.

Dear Victoria's Secret,

I've been pretty vocal about my beliefs that stores should have a plus size option for those men and women who aren't a part of the nation who fit into a size two. However your brand might be the worst when it comes to the open disregard for plus size people. Even when I was a size large, your size large underwear and PINK clothing didn't fit me because I had more hips and boobs than that of a "normal" size large.

Does being plus size mean that I don't get to have cute and sexy underwear? Abso-fucking-lutely not. Being plus size means there aren't that many places to buy cute underwear that won't cost you an arm and a leg, being plus size means that everyone else's period panties are your everyday panties because they don't make panties for plus size women that make us feel sexy. Why is this?

Don't get me wrong, I love sites like Torrid and other plus size friendly stores, however when it comes down to it I'm a college student and I can't afford to pay six dollars for one pair of underwear.

So many people will read this and say, "just lose some weight," however what those people don't realize is that I would have to lose close to a hundred and fifty pounds to even come close to fitting into your underwear which would take years. Instead of pressuring women to fit the mold of beauty you've created for your brand, your company should adapt to the evolving norm of the world. The average size of today's woman is a size 16. The average woman in today's society couldn't even fit into your clothes because your size L, which is your biggest size couldn't wear your underwear.

I know you're not purposely trying to make women feel bad about their weight because believe me, we get it enough from society anyway. Not only does it make sense from a moral standpoint but also from a business standpoint. I would never buy underwear or bras from another place if your brand started making plus size items.

As I said, it is hard enough for plus size women to find cute clothes to wear but worrying about underwear is something we shouldn't have to do. Granny panties are not cute on a 20 year old woman.

I don't know if or when you'll see this post but on the off chance that someone sees this know this one thing, I support your company wanting to have a fashion show with women walking in it that have waists so small I can wrap my hands around it, I do not support the fact that the largest size you have is a large when most women today are not a large.

I leave you with this thought, you taking this huge step would not only help your company but it might help people look at plus size women as actual human beings instead of disgusting people who just eat all the time *rolls eyes*.

Sincerely,

A 20 year old who is sick of wearing granny panties.

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.
