Now that spring is upon us, people will be on the go. Whether it’s hiking, traveling, or just running errands, everyone will be enjoying the warmer weather.

When you’re on the go, you want to carry your belongings around with you. However, purses, backpacks, and bags can weigh you down. Because of this sad reality, I’m bringing back the best alternative: the fanny pack.

You might think I’m kidding. I’m not. Don’t believe me? Here are 8 reasons I want to bring fanny packs back.

1. They’re already coming back

Even without my help, the fanny pack is going to make its way back. I’m sure you’ve noticed its prevalence at summer camps, dance marathons, and the like.

2. They’re cute now

Fanny packs aren’t the ugly things they used to be. They now make cute ones that you’ll actually want to wear.


3. They’re so convenient

Why have a backpack or purse weigh you down or occupy your hands when you can carry your stuff on your hips?

4. They aren’t just for dads

I want to break the stereotype of fanny packs only being for touristy dads. They are for everyone!


5. They’re a conversation starter

Someone will always talk to you about your fanny pack. It’s an instant connection with fellow fanny pack lovers.

6. They’re spacious

You can hold way more than you think in a fanny pack. It rivals that of a good-sized purse.

7. They give you popularity

It takes a certain person to be bold enough to wear a fanny pack when nobody else is. I don't know about you, but I want to be friends with that person.


8. They’re underrated

It makes me so sad when people give fanny packs so much hate because I genuinely love them. They’re so convenient, fun, funny, and just genuinely great.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.
