Why Yoga Pants Are The Way To Go

I Hate Dressing Up

I know I'm not the only one, but I absolutely hate dressing up, like, for almost anything. Some people thrive on looking their very best every day, and you know, that's great for them, but me, I can't stand dressing up. I mean, who would really choose to spend their day in a dress that they have to keep pulling down and a pair of heels that cause their feet to hurt every time they stand up or walk over yoga pants and an over sized tee shirt?

While everyone dressed up and looked presentable the first day of class, there was me over there in the corner rocking my yoga pants and quarter zip jacket.

Dressing up is not only too much work, it can be highly uncomfortable. I don't know about you, but when I'm in class, if my jeans are too tight or my shoes don't fit me right, I just can't seem to focus. So the real message here is that dressing comfortably in your workout clothes might actually be better for your grades (wink, wink).

I know it's bad that I don't like dressing up, seeing how I'm going to school to become a teacher where I'll have to dress up every. single. day. (currently crying thinking about the dress pants and blazers), but you know what, it's college. Live a little by not worrying about what you look like and rock those leggings and boots to class. If I'm going to sit in a classroom for hours upon hours, then I'm going to do it while being comfortable.

Honestly, I just don't see the point in dressing up. I get that it looks professional, but what does my appearance have to do with the quality of my work? If I'm doing my job and completing it correctly and on time, then who cares if I'm sitting there in comfortable clothes rather than a suit?

Oh, and another thing, dress clothes are so expensive. I really don't understand that because, honestly, it's covering the same amount of body as anything else would, maybe even less. So if this is the case, why does it cost so much money?! Trust me, spending your days in (acceptable) lounge wear will not only save you time and comfort, but in the long run, your bank account will thank you too.

Lounge clothes are just so much more practical in my opinion. I can go to bed in them, workout in them, and do school work in them. This is what saves you so much time, I don't have to worry about changing for my next activity that's different than my previous one, it's so great!

Next time you look at someone and think that they're not put together because they're wearing leggings to class, stop and think about something. Maybe this person enjoys comfortable clothes, maybe they're in them in their 8 a.m. class because they were up late studying for the test and didn't have time to pick out an outfit.

If you like dressing up I don't judge you at all. In fact, I'm impressed that you can do all that in the morning and remain comfortable all day. But the comfy life is the lifestyle for this girl!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
