My Favorite Accessory Is A Hat

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

My Favorite Accessory Is A Hat
Kathryn DeBois

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.

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.

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?
