Why I Love My Boyfriend's Clothes
Meg Besaw

Waking up at 2:30 a.m. on August 1st to drive my boyfriend to the Memphis airport, I was hoping to come up with some funny thoughts to share with the Odyssey community. However; I only had two thoughts replaying in my head: "The 'Go Go Power Rangers' theme song is oddly an amazing alarm clock choice," and "I am so glad I stole Bryce's flannel." Not much else was going through my head as I dressed and hopped into the car. I dreamed up different Instagram captions -- this is how my thinking process mainly works -- about how to explain my gratitude for my boyfriend's clothing. He was headed out again for the week, and I was left in an oversized flannel. I love it. I'm not funny. My thoughts at 3 a.m. aren't funny. And so, my hopes for a humorous post turned into a listicle on reasons why I love Bryce's clothing. Girlfriends, share with me.

1. You feel like you always have a piece of him with you.

My boyfriend and I have been long distance for all of the summer, and he's been extremely busy. On the days when I missed him the most and he couldn't talk to me, I could put on one of his t-shirts and feel as if he was near. His clothing is the best back-up to real time together.

2. Staying in the college trend becomes easy.

I've never been one to buy t-shirts that are larger than a medium for myself. I've also never been one to give into the shirt-longer-than-shorts ideal. Yet, now I have. Do I have pants on at Cookout? No one knows. Does this make me a normal college student? Definitely. I love it.

3. His smell lingers.

No matter how weird this sounds, everyone loves the way their significant other smells. There is no denying it. And so, if there is any way to get his smell to stay a little longer, I well leap on that opportunity. I know you will, too. Give me another shirt, give me more of your scent.

4. You double the size of your closet.

Now I never have a reason to say "I don't have anything to wear!" because I just added ten bf shirts to the stack. There's a sweatshirt somewhere, too.

My parents accused me of only owning Bryce's shirts, and I'm starting to believe them. Thanks for all of the clothing, babe.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

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.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
