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.

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.
