Daily Struggles Of A Thick Girl

Here is what a thick girl has to deal with.

Daily Struggles Of A Thick Girl

Throughout history, being the “chubby” or “thick” girl is looked down upon. Skinny was always in. But now, with models like Ashley Graham and singers like Nicki Minaj, girls don’t look down on themselves anymore for not being the skinniest on the block. Even though thick girls are in now, we still go through some daily struggles.

Finding the right pair of jeans takes a long time.

With a booty as big as mine, it takes almost a lifetime to find a pair of jeans that is going to go up and actually close. But once that pair is found, honey, you look good.

You are always iffy about shopping for clothes online.

With being thick, it is hard to find clothes that fit right away. Sometimes you will fit into a medium, sometimes an extra large. There will never be a set size for you, so you go to the dressing room instead of shopping online.

You embrace that you will NEVER have a thigh gap.

What’s a thigh gap? Our legs touch too much of the time for us to ever even consider that there will ever be a gap between our legs.

Most rompers will give you a cameltoe.

Since most rompers rise because of our thick legs, we will always have it rise up in the wrong places as well. Unless you find that one piece that will flatter you all around.

Food is love, but it won’t always love you.

Food is the greatest gift from the gods to us, but we continuously get reminded that “a moment on the lips is a lifetime on the hips”. I want to live in this moment forever.

Muffin top is not the new black.

Did I mention I wear high-waisted everything? That’s right. That gives the illusion of a slim waist. I like illusions.

When a big booty song comes on, all your friends look at you.

I like this part but I also don’t. All the boys notice you when your friends make it known that you have a big butt. But then they think you’re going to twerk and you can’t.

Our sexy outfits aren’t by choice.

We wear either super big sweaters or regular clothes and sometimes those tight “regular” clothes make us look like we’re trying to go clubbing later- or we’re in an Austin Powers movie.

You can’t get up in a movie theater.

When you get up in a movie theater, it’s hard to pass by somebody without your big booty in somebody’s face. (You would be surprised who wouldn’t like that)

All of your leggings rip quickly.

Yeah, those Forever 21 leggings won’t last too long without a rip in the middle of your legs. Better stock up.

Finding bikini bottoms is basically a nightmare.

I personally like high-waisted bottoms, because those other tooth floss looking types just don’t fit my fancy.

These are daily struggles of a thick girl. Honestly, us girls are beautiful at any size. Just remember to embrace who you are and love yourself.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
