Modest is Hottest on Game Days

Modest is Hottest on Game Days

Watching Carolina Football from the student section is nothing short of a fashion show. Boys in body paint, fraternity pledges in ties, sorority girls in sundresses, and just about everything in between passes in front of you as you wait for the game to start.

I'm all for dressing up for games. I love the SEC for it's strength in football and how fans look good cheering on their team. It sets us apart from every other college football conference. While I love to look cute, there's a fine line between a game day outfit and a downtown outfit.

When I look around the student section and see girls strutting their stuff in knee high boots and rompers that barely cover their backside, I cringe. It's even worse when I see girls passed out in the bed of a truck at a tailgate with their skin-tight dress around their stomachs.

It's possible that I'm behind on the times, but I am much more comfortable cheering my Gamecocks on to victory in a sundress that I could wear to church. I don't have to worry about flashing anyone when I jump up and down and scream and cheer, and I don't have to worry about pulling my dress down in the back every time I walk somewhere.

Maybe these short dresses and rompers are a result of the blazing hot weather that sits over South Carolina every Saturday. However, I find myself much cooler in a flowy dress than in one that sticks to my body with sweat. Some dresses also require special undergarments, which is a lot of work to worry about at the fraternity lots. When I'm at the lots, I'm looking to have a good time before the game, not to spend my time readjusting everything to maintain the cuteness of the outfit.

I love when girls feel confident enough in themselves to rock short shorts or a body con dress. But there's a time and a place for that, and it's a club. I tell myself when getting ready for a game day that if I wouldn't want my grandmother to see me in it, I probably shouldn't wear it to the game. In my opinion, modest is most definitely hottest.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
