My Favorite Accessory Is A Hat

There's something about wearing a hat that makes me feel confident.

My Favorite Accessory Is A Hat

There's something nice about wearing a baseball cap or a hat in general. It's stylish, it's sporty, you can hide bad hair days, they're comfortable, they're practical and the list goes on about all of the reasons why it's the best accessory. These reasons and more are why I love wearing baseball caps or hats in general.

Ever since I could remember, I've loved wearing hats. I loved how they fit on my head, provided warmth on cold days, and how they provided shade for me. I don't know why, but I found that to be so cool growing up. Baseball caps are practical because they provide shade on sunny days. Hats that are like beanies are practical because they provide warmth on really cold days in the winter.

Growing up, I even wanted to become a hat fanatic. My favorite store in the mall would be the store Lids, and I would go in the store look for hours on end for the perfect hat. I wouldn't settle for any less and I eventually wanted to have a huge collection of hats. As of right now, I have about 9 hats and counting, so that collection is coming along.

Today, I wear hats all of the time. I have my 2 beanies that I wear a lot during the winter months, and then I have my baseball caps that I wear when my ears aren't freezing off.

I just feel confident in a hat. I feel that I can take on the world while wearing one. I don't know why, but to me hats have this magical power that inserts confidence into my brain. It's kind of dumb and silly, but it makes sense to me.

Whenever I have a long day, my go-to outfit is leggings, a comfortable t-shirt, and a hat. In fact last semester, I wore that outfit every Monday because I had classes till 9 pm. Maybe I feel my best in a hat it's because when I wear a hat I am not dressed to impressed and I am wearing comfier clothing, so I associate that feeling of comfort from the clothes to the hat. I don't know.

Also, I always wear a baseball cap when I take an exam. I feel that I keep in the knowledge in my brain so when I first look at the test the knowledge that I have doesn't magically vanish from it. That's more of a superstitious thing, but it works most of the time for me.

Point is, I wear hats not just to cover up a bad hair day. I wear hats because I love them and they're my favorite accessory and article of clothing. I have more hats than I have pairs of shoes and I am totally okay with that because I'd wear my beat-up converse and baseball cap any day over dressing up to go to a fancy event.

I know I might be the only girl who feels this way, but who cares at this point. What matters is that I am confident in my own skin and I feel the most that way when I wear a hat.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!
