But What If You DIDN'T Judge Me And Tell Me What To Wear?

I can wear whatever I want, whenever I want.

I'm a self-admitted clothing addict. I'm totally OK with this. I own dresses, Nike shorts, crop tops, hoodies, skirts, skinny jeans, the whole nine yards. But don't ever tell me what I should wear.

Recently, people have been writing about how girls shouldn't wear Nike shorts and oversized t-shirts. People say that we shouldn't go outside like we're going to the gym.

I have one thing to say: Back off.

No one — and I repeat, no one — has the right to tell anyone what they should wear. Ever. If I want to wear hoodies, oversized t-shirts, and Nike shorts, then I can definitely do that. If I want to dress to the 9s in a dress and heels when I'm going to the grocery store, that is totally okay.

Don't tell me I can't wear Chacos because they're ugly. The same thing goes for Birkenstocks. Don't tell me that I look terrible when I go to class because I'm not wearing a face of makeup. On the flip side, don't tell me I look unnatural when I'm wearing a smokey eye in my 8 a.m. French lecture.

No one has any right to tell anyone what wear or what to look like. Stop telling me that I need to dress better because I'm not representing women well. Don't tell me I'm overdressed when I go to class. Just stop telling me that what I'm dressing isn't right. Because news flash: I could say the same thing back at you. Everyone has the right to wear whatever they want to, so I'll keep doing me and you can keep doing you.

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.
