I'll Be Rocking Comfy Clothes To Class, Because Feeling Like A Million Bucks Is Better Than Looking Like It

While everyone else may look cute, and I admire that, it's just not going to happen for me.

Most days, you can catch me sporting a nice pair of Lulu's and a T-shirt or hoodie. I'm a woman of simple means and find that I don't have a desire to put in much thought when it comes to putting makeup on or dressing for class.

Here is my philosophy: if I didn't have to wake up at 5 a.m. three times a week, I would maybe consider spending a few extra minutes of thought into my outfit for the day.

Here's the reality: I need those extra three-plus minutes of sleep, and I don't care how much anyone might tell me otherwise.

However, on the off-chance you do catch me wearing anything but clothes you could work out in, that usually means one of three things:

1. I ran out of other clean clothes.

2. I have a presentation or a meeting immediately after class or during

If there's time to change, I make the effort to wear my comfy clothes and then change when necessary.

3. I'm trying to impress someone.

I don't always want to look like a slob.

But if I am being honest, the later of the three has only happened maybe a handful of times, so that variable is highly exclusive compared to the others. Thus, it really shouldn't count.

Back to my reasoning behind my daily clothing choices.

First, a comfortable me is someone who will get engrossed in lectures/videos/presentations compared to me that has to remember to keep her legs crossed because she is wearing a dress and doesn't want to flash anyone.

Second, I have a wider range of motion wearing comfortable clothes (flexibility is key, my friends). Finally, and the most logical of them all, I will sometimes go workout directly after class. Who would've thought? Whether that means I go to yoga, take our dogs for a walk, go for a run or whatever, my clothes are serving their active purpose at some point that day.

My clothing choices are intention... well for the most part, at least. I may not always look like a million bucks, but damn, I feel it.

Comfy clothes, live on!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
