Today, I, a humble C cup person, went bra shopping. Now, this should not have been a large issue. However, it definitely brought light to a few of the issues that my breasts bring in my life. Here are a few struggles that everyone with boobs can relate to.

1. Bras totally BREAKING

Giphy

Straps? Breakable. Back and hooks? Breakable. The big thick UNDERWIRE? Breakable, also often causing your bra to shank you in the titty. Like, these things were designed to contain my breasts, and they're breaking the minute they have to do their jobs.

2. Bra sizes? BS!

Giphy

I only have a C cup, but I have a hell of a time finding a bra that fits since smaller band sizes get rarer as the cup goes up. Since I end up gaining weight in my breasts way before I gain it in the area the band goes around, that means I need a 30 or 32 C. Which is apparently a huge issue given how rough of a time I have FINDING either of those.

3. PAIN

Giphy

Achy boobs? Check! Achy back? Check! A lot of people with really, really large breasts can even be in so much pain that they want a breast reduction just to feel normal.

4. "Bralettes?" Nah.

Giphy

People with small breasts can wear bralettes, and honestly, as someone without small breasts, bralettes are a mystery. I can tell you that if I wore a bralette, the girls would be EVERYWHERE. How do they FUNCTION!?

5. Strapless "bras" are fake news and we know it.

Giphy

So for those cis men who probably don't know, strapless "bras" come in three main varieties. There are those that have no straps around the shoulder, just one around the back, those that have transparent straps around the shoulder and/or back, and those that don't have straps and stick to the breasts through adhesive.

None of them work.

Bras without straps on the shoulders slide down all the damn day, meaning that my nipples like to peek out from the bra and see the great wide world. Bras with "transparent" straps a) look very weird, and b) are often uncomfortable since they're literally being held up by plastic. And bras that stick through adhesive? They might work if your breasts are small, but I have genuinely had a bra like this pop off my boobs due to the sheer, unbridled strength of my tits. Strapless bras are genuinely "fake news."

6. Push-up bras? In MY size? WHY?!

Giphy

Now, I get the purpose of push-up bras for a or b cup people; they can give someone confidence, help people flaunt what they've got. But for people with a C-cup and up? I HAVE breasts. They're ALREADY present. I have too much tit; a mammary calamity, if you will. They do not need to be pushed up. They need to be restrained. And that brings me to...

7. All shirts or camisoles showing your boobs more than intended

Giphy

Shirts look fine on the mannequin, high-cut on the mannequin, until they encounter a person with Actual Boobs. At that point, they bend to the weight of my melons and decide to show the whole world that I do, in fact, have breasts. I've had camisoles slide down my breasts, v-necks expose so much cleavage, and tank tops turn into titty city.

8. Boob. Sweat.

Giphy

Until you have had a bra stick to your underboobs because of boob sweat or had little smile lines on your shirt under your breasts from sweat, you don't understand the boob struggle.

9. Unexpected running? Stairs? How about no?

Giphy

Either of these two things turn my boobs into their very own aerial event. Can we just...not?

But regardless of the things that my breasts do or make harder for me, I can always know I'll have no issue looking fly as hell!

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

Girl With Bleached Hair
Tumblr

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
