Who Needs to "Dress to Impress" Anyways?

Bummin' to class because sleep

Who Needs to "Dress to Impress" Anyways?

It's 8:40 a.m. Monday morning. My alarm goes off and I grunt out of pure hatred at the thought of getting out of my warm bed. For some reason, I never fully appreciate my bed's comfort until the curdling repetition of my phone's alarm reminding me that I have responsibilities. This is where I make my executive decision of the day: Will I snooze for another 30 minutes leaving me with a mere 10 to get ready? OR do I get moving and maybe make an attempt at a shower or put some make up to hide the obvious sleep deprivation from the prior weekend? It's the same battle every morning, and to no one's surprise, the reigning decision always leaves me looking disheveled and nowhere short of a hobo.

Sports bra over everything. Honestly ladies, these things are lifesavers. Why deal with a wired bra that could quite possibly poke into your sides when you're slouching in the seat of the lecture hall chair? Besides, cleavage is pointless when you're wearing an oversized sweatshirt that hides anything womanly about you.

LEGGINGS because let's be real, no one actually enjoys jeans. Unless they're mom jeans, they aren't our friends. Leggings are stretchy, soft and let's face it, they make walking to class a breeze. Lulu, Target, Victoria's Secret, it doesn't matter they all do the same thing. Leggings have been giving girls the greatest advantage since 1980.


Sweatshirts are key. They're warm like blankets that keep you at your optimal comfort at all hours of the day. But you have got to wear them baggy, because who doesn't like the extra room. Plus, who knows what the temperature is going to be. Hot or cold, you can layer up and you're set for any circumstance.

Uggs. Okay, so we all can admit that Uggs are not the most fashionable of shoes, but you can't argue with how comfortable they are and not to mention how mindless they are to wear. No zipper, no laces, just slip em' on and you're golden. What's the point of wearing uncomfortable shoes? Honestly, no one's even looking, and if you're wearing heels on campus I can guarantee you will end up on someone's Snapchat Story.

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.
