A Guy's View: What Is A Romper?

No, seriously. What is it.

A Guy's View: What Is A Romper?

You've seen them. You're not exactly sure what she's wearing at first, or if you like it. I had this experience many, many times before I actually figured out what these girls were actually wearing. At first I said "wow what a great dress!" But after closer examination, I noticed the bottoms were shorts. So I said okay, must be just a matching tank top and shorts. But no, they're attached.

Now me being a guy, it took me much longer than it should when I was younger to distinguish the difference between a dress and a skirt. Bad, I know. I later learned after many confusing encounters, that this fashion contraption was called a romper. A hybrid between a dress, shirt and shorts. It's basically every girl's dream scape, and I'll tell you why.

Every dude knows that whether it's deciding where to eat, where to go, or what to do, you're going to get the classic response with a girl. "I don't care." And they'll never tell you what they do want, but they'll always tell you what they don't. "How about Chipotle?" "yeah... I guess." Oh, well thanks for the exemplification of "not caring." It's what girls do. They can decipher what they don't want. This is why they love rompers so much.

Yeah they're hip and trendy, and they're even a good change up from the other common outfits girls wear. But that's not why girls are wearing them. Instead of having to make an actual decision on what style of clothing to wear, or what's appropriate, now they can just revert to indecisiveness and wear a little bit of each piece of clothing. Half dress, shorts, tank top, or even sometimes T-shirt. They can skip the decision, and just decide to wear basically all of them. They wear them to look dressy, or to go out, or even just casually to throw something on.

But there's more. There's a reason I'm writing about this. It's killing my favorite part about the warm weather: sundresses. And I speak for 90 percent of the male population here. It's a glorious time of year, women all walking around in colorful, patterned dresses that flow in the wind and always make you turn your head. These rompers? Are threatening this majestic trend. Ever since these makeshift jumpsuits have been popping up, I've been seeing less and less sundresses. This is not okay.

Rompers are not just a new fashion trend, they're a statement. Backing girls' indecisiveness, and marking the downward trend of the beloved sundress. It needs to stop. Pick an outfit girls, not just a mashup of every option there is. And most importantly, make the sundress great again.

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.
