Ugly And Acceptable

We all understand what the srat uniform is, so what's the big deal?

Ugly And Acceptable

Yes, college girls, especially sorority girls, wear the exact same thing to class almost every day. The exception to not wear it is if a presentation is being done that day or something else big going on.

Girls love oversized t-shirts, Nike shorts (or "norts") and either chacos or some sort of athletic tennis shoe. The big question is, Why do girls wear this?

One of my teachers asked a sorority girl sitting in my class if it was required. No, it's not required. It's how we want to dress. Still wondering why? I'll tell you.

1. We are in the South in general, and it is HOT. With temperatures and humidity as suffocating as they currently are, no one wants to put the time and effort into looking cute. Makeup will just sweat off, and it's not cute running down your face. Clothes will stick to you if they are actually touching you. Also, if the clothes fit snug to your body and aren't dry-fit, they will have giant sweat stains.

Now boys, is that attractive? No, you can't even say it is.

2. If we have an 8 a.m. and want to take a shower, do our makeup, fix our hair, pick out a cute outfit and arrive in time to sit down in class before roll is called, we are looking at waking up by at least 7 a.m. That is seriously pushing it, too, especially if you live off campus.

It's not even including a stop at Starbucks or Chick-fil-A. It would probably take an hour-and-a-half if we're telling the truth, and for a food stop, add another 30 minutes (those lines are ridiculous in the mornings). Let's be honest here, we all love sleep. Who wants to wake up that early just to look cute?

3. After spending that much time getting ready, we would then arrive to class to realize how uncomfortable we actually are. T-shirts and shorts are so much more comfortable. When we're comfortable, it's much easier for us to pay attention and learn rather than worrying about keeping our super cute dress in place during class. Don't you want us to actually learn something in class so that we can get a good job after we graduate? After all, we're not all just here to get our Mrs. degree.

Now come fall and winter, we'll look a lot more presentable. Scarves, sweaters and jeans are easy and effortless to wear when it is cooler weather, and they look cute! Now of course, even when it's cold, we'll probably still be wearing yoga pants, leggings or whatever else is quick at times. Just give us some time, and we'll look a little more presentable. For now though, the uniform continues.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
