Go ahead, Cut your sweatshirt

It's just fabric, right?

Go ahead, Cut your sweatshirt

Clothes are fantastic because in all honesty, it’s just fabric. You can stretch it, shrink it, and quite easily, cut it. It is entirely customizable.

People before realized that if your clothes did have the umph that you wanted, you could cut it to add some extra flare. However now, people have moved from cutting t-shirts to cutting sweatshirts.

I was surprised myself when I heard it. I mean sweatshirts? Come on t-shirts are simple fabric, who cares if you mess it up when you cut it. But sweatshirts? Those are thicker, have more fabric, and are more expensive. I couldn’t imagine someone cutting a sweatshirt.

But alas, that day has come. Cropped sweatshirts are becoming one of fall’s newest trends. If not cropped then elastic/less sweatshirts. Well friends, you don’t need to buy these when you can DIY!

All you need is a sweatshirt and some scissors. Literally that’s it. Probably the easiest DIY you have ever done.

If you want to spice it up some more, you can do some more cutting. Cut a V neckline and poke holes along the edges. Make sure to flip the sweatshirt inside out and iron the edges to create a smooth edge. Using some shoelace, create a crisscross pattern.

Pair it with some jeans or leggings and you’re good to go. So go grab your scissors and get cropping!

And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
