Here Is Why I Hate Dresses And Skirts
Angelina Sakkestad

When I was a little girl, skorts were all the rage in my kindergarten class. It made sense; it was the early 2000’s and as a kindergartener, I needed maximum playtime mobility and not have to worry about flashing anyone.

Then I suddenly had reasons to be wearing skirts and dresses, and I had to act like a lady while wearing them. It kind of sucked because I couldn’t sit how I wanted to or I’d flash my underwear.

When I was little, I wore them with tights, and I could be mobile at the least. But then it was weird for me to wear tights. What was I supposed to wear? Nothing?

And that’s the answer. I wasn’t supposed to wear tights under dresses and skirts. Maybe just a pair of shorts or my underwear.

I hated it.

My thighs chafed and it hurt. By the end of the day, I’d be fighting walking like a cowboy, or like I had just crapped my pants.

Nothing ever changed and no one ever talked about it. I would sit in class, my thighs near bleeding and the back of my legs sticking to the chair, and wonder if any of the other girls had the same problem.

The answer is yes, but there is still no conversation about it.

It wasn’t until high school that I finally saw jumpsuits coming back into style. I jumped on this train so fast that my senior prom “dress” was a jumpsuit. If prom is supposed to be the best night of my high school career, why spend it with my legs chafed?

I own one black skirt because every woman needs one just in case. I own two pairs of shorts and I couldn’t tell you why. I couldn’t tell you the last time I wore a dress. I own four jumpsuits, and I love every single one of them.

Catch me in summer 2018 wearing leggings, flowy pants, and jumpsuits. Ask me if I feel hot in leggings. The answer is yes, but at least my legs don’t hurt.

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.

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.
