Now that spring is upon us, people will be on the go. Whether it’s hiking, traveling, or just running errands, everyone will be enjoying the warmer weather.

When you’re on the go, you want to carry your belongings around with you. However, purses, backpacks, and bags can weigh you down. Because of this sad reality, I’m bringing back the best alternative: the fanny pack.

You might think I’m kidding. I’m not. Don’t believe me? Here are 8 reasons I want to bring fanny packs back.

1. They’re already coming back

Even without my help, the fanny pack is going to make its way back. I’m sure you’ve noticed its prevalence at summer camps, dance marathons, and the like.

2. They’re cute now

Fanny packs aren’t the ugly things they used to be. They now make cute ones that you’ll actually want to wear.


3. They’re so convenient

Why have a backpack or purse weigh you down or occupy your hands when you can carry your stuff on your hips?

4. They aren’t just for dads

I want to break the stereotype of fanny packs only being for touristy dads. They are for everyone!


5. They’re a conversation starter

Someone will always talk to you about your fanny pack. It’s an instant connection with fellow fanny pack lovers.

6. They’re spacious

You can hold way more than you think in a fanny pack. It rivals that of a good-sized purse.

7. They give you popularity

It takes a certain person to be bold enough to wear a fanny pack when nobody else is. I don't know about you, but I want to be friends with that person.


8. They’re underrated

It makes me so sad when people give fanny packs so much hate because I genuinely love them. They’re so convenient, fun, funny, and just genuinely great.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
