10 Things Plus Size Women Can't Do
Abigail Roxby

It's no secret that the media today is emphasizing an ideal shape that women should strive to achieve. Wide, full hips, a narrow waist, slender arms, a thigh gap, a bodacious booty, among other things. It's not that uncommon for a woman to find herself outside of society's cookie cutter mold. So I've complied a list of things these beautiful, unique, strong, outsiders just shouldn't do, by any means what so ever.

1. Wear white pants.

I mean, come on, who wants to see their cellulite. How dare a woman have fat in their thighs that push up against their connective tissue to cause dimples in their skin. The shame.



2. Wear clothing that exposes their skin

Because, once again, no one wants to see that right? No one should have to tolerate a bigger woman feeling confident enough to wear whatever she pleases.



3. Wear horizontal stripes.

That's just common fashion sense, right? Horizontal stripes are just the most unflattering thing, it just makes them seem wider.




4. Wear tank tops. EVER.

What kind of woman would ever be confident enough to show off anything less than perfectly sculpted and toned arms? The horror.


5. Be passionate and talented at anything.

Women of size don't have any qualities besides from their physical appearance, right?



6. Wear a bikini.

Oh my goodness, the horror of a plus sized woman in a bikini is just too much to comprehend. The sight of someone walking by that jiggles is just repulsive. It's not like all humans have fat right? That fat is an important part of our biology that serves a purpose in survival? How dare they be confident enough to show their smoothy tummy in public, think of the children.



7. Wear leggings of any kind.

Comfort and versatility just don't apply to people that are larger than "normal." They shouldn't be allowed to wear what makes them feel confident and beautiful.



8. Wear anything that draws attention to themselves.

Tall women can't wear heels around petite people. It just makes them look gangly and awkward. Physical appearance is all we have to offer, personalities are moot now. It's the 21st century, people, how dare you stand out.



9. Be a performer.

The idea of a plus size performer is just too outlandish. Plus size women can't have talent. It's not like there has been anyone that's been successful (Mellisa McCarthy, Rebel Wilson, Adele).



10. Have a good time.

How dare women that don't have perfect bodies enjoy themselves! It's almost like they've accepted who they are as a person! How can they think they're beautiful with imperfections?! It's almost like there's been a revolution of some sort of body positivity and women are standing up for their rights to be considered people instead of objects?



And that's it! Ten things people that aren't perfect can't do. Remember: if you're not what the world wants you to be, you might as well just give up. It's not like every single human being is created differently, has a different set of skills, different body types, different genetic make up, different interests, different likes, different dislikes, different senses of styles, different ethnicities, different ideas of beauty, or anything like that. And it's not like people are the most accepting as they've ever been in history, so it's not like you can be who you truly are in this modern era. Don't forget that there's no such thing as the body positivity movement that's all about accepting every body, whether thick or thin, short or tall, white or black, smooth or lumpy, stretch marks or none, pimples or clear skin, or any other differences within the human realm of uniqueness.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
