Pretty much everyone has heard the acronym SWUG. I looked up the official definition online for the purposes of this article and happened across this gem:

A Senior Washed Up Girl is a young woman in her final year at a four-year collegiate establishment who has also given up the possibility of youth.

given up the possibility of youth

Excuse you, gawker.com, but I have hardly given up the possibility of my youth. In fact, I daresay that I am embracing my youth on a daily basis. In the words of Wiz Khalifa, I'm living young and wild and free.

I don’t understand the term SWUG because I disagree with it wholeheartedly. I’m not sure about any of you but I feel like I am currently living my best life.

This past Friday night I took it upon myself to get up and dance onstage at the Psi U Mitch-a-Palooza concert. Freshman year Jackie would have rather been run over by a truck repeatedly than get up and dance in front of the entirety of Psi U. But I have a month left and I'm never going to see any of these people again in my life so why not?

Now that spring is kicking in to full gear, most of us don't care about anything but making the most of our last month at Trinity. (Hi mom and dad I know you read my articles so rest assured that this does not apply to me because schoolwork is my number one priority). This lack of caring has intensified at a startling rate. A roommate of mine, whose name I am withholding out of the kindness and generosity of my heart, dropped a slice of pizza on the floor of Mather last week and then to the sheer horror of everyone around her proceeded to pick it up off the ground and eat it. Another roommate unashamedly wore a Yoda onesie to the Tap two weeks ago. I am unsure as to whether I should be shocked and appalled about these occurrences or proud of my roommates for being unapologetically themselves, but I think I feel a mixture of the two.

Honestly though, in my humble opinion senior year is when people hit their prime in college. You are more comfortable with yourself which means you do things that make you happy and you don't give a shit about what other people think of you. If that's called being washed up then count me in.
