Nike's Gender Neutral Clothing Line Isn't That Great

Nike recently announced the release of a gender-neutral clothing line, which is great but they did not do as good as they could have with this one. The clothing line does include things that could be considered "gender neutral" but really most of Nike's things can. If you think about it, all clothes can be gender neutral, just wear the damn clothes.

The worst part about the new line? All of the sizes are still listed as "men's" and "women's". So that's really gender neutral. Nike really missed the mark on this one. When labeling yourself as gender neutral the sizes also need to be gender neutral, they should not go back to the binary genders. There's more than one way to size something.

Not only did Nike fuck up the sizing on their gender-neutral line, most of the clothes just seem like they are "men's" clothes in "women's" sizes as Twitter pointed out. If it was truly gender neutral there would be more "feminine" options in all sizes instead of just masculine options for everyone.

Lastly, the new line is super expensive. All of the clothes and accessories are extremely overpriced, even for Nike. Those of us who wear gender neutral clothing know that we can get t-shirts and windbreakers way cheaper elsewhere. Nike was not in this for the gender-neutral aspect of things, but for the money. If you're buying these items, it's mostly for the label.

It's really unfortunate that Nike couldn't come through on this one, but maybe they'll do better next time. If you want gender neutral clothing just remember that clothing isn't gendered and you can wear whatever the hell you want.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
