Just Wear What You Want, To Class Or To Anywhere

You shouldn't have to feel pressure to look perfect 24/7.

Just Wear What You Want, To Class Or To Anywhere

Comfort. Everyone craves it, so when you are dressing yourself in the morning, why should your mentality be different? Do what makes you happy and discount what everyone else thinks.

When I wake up in the morning and get my outfit ready; it really doesn't take me that long. I have a rotation of five sweatpants and some random T-shirts that were usually free. I'm not saying my look is a problem, in college and this wardrobe isn't unique, but when other girls think lesser on those who want to be comfortable is where see a problem.

There are so many societal pressures alongside the added pressures of school– so what does it matter what I look like? I'm comfortable beyond measure. When I graduate and enter the workforce, I won't have the pleasures of walking around in my favorite sweatpants. At this point, I don't know how to wear clothes apart of them– but that's something for future me to work out.

Life is too short to be overly consumed by appearance, especially when in college when appearance doesn't necessarily matter. So when you see online that wearing sweats, leggings or Nike shorts is unladylike– remind yourself that ultimately it doesn't matter what you're wearing to class.

Change your mentality and care about the moments. Because when you are creating your memories, you won't remember your outfit — unless it was show-stopping. Take the energy that you would use to create the perfect outfit to create perfect moments instead. Live in the moment and cherish the light around you and remember that life has so much more to celebrate than what you wore to your 8 a.m. class — you do you, boo.

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.

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.
