I Can Wear My Nike Shorts And Leggings Whenever And Wherever I Want, My Fashion Choices Are None Of Your Business

Who is anyone to tell us what we can and cannot wear?

Just because I like to be comfortable in casual situations does not mean that I'm lazy, that I don't care, or that I'm immature. I wear leggings, shorts, hoodies, etc. to class or while running errands because I would like to be comfortable in situations which allow me to do so.

Maybe some of us work a lot of hours in addition to going to school full time, so when we aren't stuck in our work uniforms for hours on end, we would like to be wearing something that makes us feel COMFORTABLE. Who are you or anyone else to tell me what I can and cannot wear — regardless of where I'm going or what I'm doing?

All you are doing is contributing to a culture of slut-shaming, except it's the opposite type of clothing.

If you choose to dress nice for school or whatever, that's cool. Honestly, I could not care less what those around me are wearing. As long as you feel comfortable and confident in how you choose to leave the house in the morning, then power to you.

If you're someone who is going to be so successful, then don't you have more important things to be doing than judging those around you for how they choose to dress? There are so many other things to be worrying about today.

I'm not trying to be rude, but I just think it's a complete double standard that men can wear t-shirts, hoodies, and sweatpants literally EVERYWHERE but the second a girl dresses comfortably she's making herself look bad. Give me a break.

Let's all just be nicer to each other in 2019 and learn to let people do what makes them feel good. Girls deal with enough as it is, which is all the more reason to stick together rather than shame one another.

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.
