Dear Victoria's Secret

Your biggest size is a large, most women don't fit into your apparel.

Dear Victoria's Secret,

I've been pretty vocal about my beliefs that stores should have a plus size option for those men and women who aren't a part of the nation who fit into a size two. However your brand might be the worst when it comes to the open disregard for plus size people. Even when I was a size large, your size large underwear and PINK clothing didn't fit me because I had more hips and boobs than that of a "normal" size large.

Does being plus size mean that I don't get to have cute and sexy underwear? Abso-fucking-lutely not. Being plus size means there aren't that many places to buy cute underwear that won't cost you an arm and a leg, being plus size means that everyone else's period panties are your everyday panties because they don't make panties for plus size women that make us feel sexy. Why is this?

Don't get me wrong, I love sites like Torrid and other plus size friendly stores, however when it comes down to it I'm a college student and I can't afford to pay six dollars for one pair of underwear.

So many people will read this and say, "just lose some weight," however what those people don't realize is that I would have to lose close to a hundred and fifty pounds to even come close to fitting into your underwear which would take years. Instead of pressuring women to fit the mold of beauty you've created for your brand, your company should adapt to the evolving norm of the world. The average size of today's woman is a size 16. The average woman in today's society couldn't even fit into your clothes because your size L, which is your biggest size couldn't wear your underwear.

I know you're not purposely trying to make women feel bad about their weight because believe me, we get it enough from society anyway. Not only does it make sense from a moral standpoint but also from a business standpoint. I would never buy underwear or bras from another place if your brand started making plus size items.

As I said, it is hard enough for plus size women to find cute clothes to wear but worrying about underwear is something we shouldn't have to do. Granny panties are not cute on a 20 year old woman.

I don't know if or when you'll see this post but on the off chance that someone sees this know this one thing, I support your company wanting to have a fashion show with women walking in it that have waists so small I can wrap my hands around it, I do not support the fact that the largest size you have is a large when most women today are not a large.

I leave you with this thought, you taking this huge step would not only help your company but it might help people look at plus size women as actual human beings instead of disgusting people who just eat all the time *rolls eyes*.

Sincerely,

A 20 year old who is sick of wearing granny panties.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
