8 Reasons Why Fanny Packs Need To Make A Comeback

Instagram

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.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
