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.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
