If You're Still Calling Women Out For Going Braless, You Need To Calm YOUR Tits

It's 2019- we're freeing the nipple and not giving a f*ck about it.

If You're Still Calling Women Out For Going Braless, You Need To Calm YOUR Tits

I haven't worn a bra in weeks, maybe even months. I don't wear a bra to go out, nor do I wear them when I'm lounging around the house. My roommates don't care, my friends don't care, nor do my family or boyfriend.

It seems that every irrelevant person has the most to say about seeing my nipples through my shirt or watching whatever itty bitty titty I have bouncing around. There's always a random guy staring at me as I run down the stairs, probably thinking that I don't notice him gawking at me.

"I can see your nipples," people tell me.

Well good, you're supposed to.

I had my nipples pierced my first few years in college. I wanted people to see my nipples because I was taking a stand. I was embracing my body and putting the whole "body shaming" thing behind me. Little did I know that I was attracting more negative attention to myself by being so confident in my own skin.

Here's the big issue: it's 2019. Why are we still calling women out for going braless? Like, we burned our bras in the 60s for our own feminist protests. Women have been going braless since then, and yet here we are, constantly ogling any woman whose nipples are visible through the cotton of her t-shirt.

"Women have been going topless at the beaches in Miami since the 90s," my mom always tells me, "and there's always been that creep trying to take photos or those girls that can't stand to see other women living their lives." So, even the generations before us d.g.a.f., so why does our generation have so much to say about it now?

Even some of my girlfriends get a little insecure about going braless. "Oh, I can't, I have to wear a bra with this top," they say as they cover themselves. I'm always the first one to shout out, "free the nipple!" and proceed to leave the house in a white tank top and no regrets.

Women will feel comfortable going braless and being in their own skin once others stop shaming them. Although it seems impossible, if people could learn to mind their own damn business, women could live comfortably and without fear or shame.

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.
