Dear Nike Shorts (Norts),

Thank you for being there for me during the good and the bad. During my trips to my gym and my 8 AM classes, you've always been there to lend a stylish hand.

We've had some good runs and bad runs (literally) and we've had some of the best and worst first impressions. From showing up to my early morning classes with you to proudly wearing my Norts at Block, we've been through the best and worst of times.

You're friends with my Birks, Chacos, and gym shoes, so I never have an issue picking out a pair of shoes to compliment you well. Hats are a perfect addition to the look, but on good hair days, we look even better together.

Thank you for pulling all-nighters in the library with me and not being afraid to be seen in public two days in a row.

I'm sorry for hiding you under my oversized t-shirts sometimes, but you've been able to appearances in my cross country meets so you've had your chance to shine. There's a few of you I wear more than others but know that I love you all the same.

You've matched with all of my shirts, no matter what school I've gone to or what tee I was wearing that day. Thanks to your rainbow of colors, I've never had to debate on what color to buy.

You've always been there for me, and I hope you think the same about me. I've tried to give you a good home and keep you clean and happy, making sure to never leave you behind after a night at a friend's. I make sure to take you out frequently and absolutely never be ashamed of the bold style statement you make.

I will forever be grateful for your comfort, your colors, and most of all, your ease to get me between the gym and class. You will always hold a special place in my heart and my closet.

With lots of love,

Taylor
