Unless it's a see-through bra and underwear to the park with children present.

Wear Whatever You Want

Lately, I have been seeing articles floating around Facebook that have to do with telling women (and sometimes men) what to wear and what not to wear. These range from either saying over sized t-shirts and Nike shorts are ugly to wearing "respectable clothing".

Those articles are written to get a reaction out of the people in the title, and most of the time they do. You will most likely see comments that say something along the lines of "I can wear whatever I want!" Or "yeah! Stop wearing that!" While it's nice to see different perspectives, it's not always the best advice to actually follow (unless you REALLY want to).

Here's the thing, you can wear whatever the heck you want to wear. If you want to wear over sized t-shirts and Nike shorts for the rest of your life, DO IT. If you think that's ugly and you want to wear dressy pants and a blouse, DO IT. It really doesn't matter if people say your outfit choices are not good enough, because that person is not you. You do not need the approval of some stranger to wear what you want. Also, if you are the one saying that people should stop wearing something, maybe try and realize everyone is going to have a different sense fashion than you (and that's a-ok).

Now, if you read one of those "Girls, stop wearing __" articles and it really makes you think of your outfit choices, then go ahead and change. The great thing about outfits is that they are changeable. Your outfit choices do not make you a Good or bad person, they make you unique (even if everyone else is wearing it). Wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable, that's the way to live life to the fullest. No one has time for someone else to tell them what to wear.

In case you're unaware, "resting bitch face" is the term used to describe when a person's natural, expressionless face makes it look like they are mad at the world. Whether they are walking down the street or simply spacing out thinking about what to eat for dinner, it's very easy for others to assume that this person is either upset or mad at them. Because of this, those of us with Resting Bitch Face (RBF), and especially us women, have all experienced many of the same situations and conversations, including:

We've all had a crush before. Whether it leads to something or nothing, the process has all been the same. The awkward feelings, the stalking, and the stress of trying to keep this huge secret. The feeling of becoming a total spazz is something that cannot be avoided, and the most spazzy family that can relate to this feeling is the Belcher's.

At the tender age of 18, we are bestowed with the title of “adult.” For 17 years, we live under the rules and guidelines of our parents, school, and government, and to stray from any of those rules or guidelines marks us as a rebel. At 18, though, we must choose which college we want to go to or what career we want. We are allowed and encouraged to vote. We can buy lottery tickets and cigarettes. We can drop out of school, leave our household, and do other "adult" things. At 18, we start down a path of thinking for ourselves, when for the entirety of our lives other institutions have been mandated to think and do for us.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.
