11 Things People Wear That Are WAY More Embarrassing Than A Face Mask

In This Article:

It's no secret that Americans are very annoyed by the addition of face masks to their life. By now you've seen plenty of people whine and grip and claim how masks are going to make them pass out, all via the Facebook comments section, of course. While a portion of the population has accepted masks as the short-term solution to the global crisis we're directly in the middle of, others need more convincing.

But come on, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls — there are things we've all been guilty of sporting that are WAY worse than a simple face mask.

Less-than-successful sports teams aside, masks are the last of many of our fashionable worries.

1. Socks and sandals 

Look, you want to talk about how uncomfortable face masks are? Then I don't want to see you in athletic socks while you're rocking flip flops.

2. Matching couple's clothes 

This requires SO much more effort.

3. Greek letters 

Kappa Kappas can wear masks, too!

4. Excessively large cowboy hats 

Save a horse and mask up, cowboy.

5. A white dress to a wedding

Even when it's a virtual wedding, it's still a bad look.

6. Sunglasses inside

You can wear your sunglasses at night, IF you also wear your reusable face mask.

7. Low-rise jeans 

Low-rise jeans are out, face masks are in.

8. Denim on denim 

Do they sell denim-looking face masks? You better believe it.

9. See-through leggings 

You wouldn't think this is as big of a problem as it actually is. Kind of like you wouldn't think wearing a mask is the end of the world, but to some people it is.

10. FBI (Female Body Inspector) shirts

The fact that these shirts haven't been banned is actually shocking.

11. Long cargo shorts

You know what you don't need? Ninety-seven pockets. You know what you do need? Protection against a global pandemic.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs.
