High-Priced Fashion Nowadays Is Not Fashion

Since when are thong jeans an okay thing to wear?

Sometimes I wonder what goes through designers minds when they're creating new articles of clothing to wear on the runway for the following season. They pair these terrible looking colors together or cut out articles of clothing to make it as though there's nothing there (can you say thong jeans?).

My one and only question for them is, why?

The spring brings out all kinds of celebrity fashion, especially at awards shows and fashion shows and some of the things these people are wearing almost make me go cross-eyed just looking at them. Some of these outfits look as though they got dressed in the dark or didn't have enough fabric to make the whole outfit. I understand though, it's all about the ascetics and sex appeal.

Just like the thong jeans, they look as though someone took their pants, cut them up until there was just an outline and wore them as actual pants. The way they look on people isn't flattering, plus why would you want your butt hanging out for the whole world to see all day? Not only that, but some places want up to $200 for an outline of jeans... yeah sorry, but no thanks I can do that myself.

To me, fashion is just a weird concept of clothing mashed together to create an outfit.

Sometimes there are outfits that strike my eye and make me want that, but other times you want to stop looking at it, but you can't. And don't even get me started on the prices of these articles of clothing as they are actually outrageously priced. In all honesty, who can afford a $300 shirt that looks like the same shirt you saw at another much cheaper store?

Most of the time, it's a great stress relief to watch people dress very outrageously and "trendy".

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
