Dressing for a Girl vs. Dressing for a Guy

The title sounds weird, just read it.

Dressing for a Girl vs. Dressing for a Guy

Ok, so moment of truth.

I have a new obsession and her name is Nicole Richie. She has a new show called "Candidly Nicole" where she just does a bunch of random stuff and is hilarious throughout the process.       

In one of her short five minute season two episodes on YouTube, she and one of their guy friends help their friend pick out an outfit for a first date. The guy questions Harlem pants (MC Hammer pants) and pretty much tells the girls that these pants are weird and boys don’t like them.   

It’s a girl thing to dress up and want to be high fashion, but sometimes boys don’t really appreciate fashion. They think fur vests are weird, Harlem pants don’t fit right and oversized sweaters are for Grandmas only.   

Boys just like revealing clothes. I’m not saying to wear revealing clothes, because if a boy only likes that about you then he obviously isn’t boyfriend material. Guys like normal clothes. Stuff that looks cute on and isn’t the newest hottest trend that they do not understand.   

Girls like high fashion: rompers, fur vests, jumpsuits, oversized everything, and whatever else we see on any fashion magazine that we can afford. We just want to be different and best dressed.     

Dressing for your friends involves having the latest thing out. Using unknown shopping websites is like my fav thing, because then no one dresses like me, but then my boyfriend questions my fashion sense, while my girl friends praise me for being high fashion, cute and different. It’s such an odd thing.      

I guess the whole moral of the story is to please your target audience (lol a term I’m using in literally every single one of my classes). If you’re going on a first date don’t wear something that your girlfriends will like, wear the skater skirt and button up top, because it’s simple, cute and guys understand it. But if you’re going out for a fun girl’s night wear whatever you please, because fashion is what you wear, but style is what you do with it. (Hair flip emoji here.)

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.
