I'm The Girl Who Wears XL T-Shirts Everyday
TSM

You see that girl who looks like she may or may not have rolled out of bed in the same oversized t-shirt she may or may not have been wearing for the past week? You're probably silently wondering if she's wearing pants under that monstrosity, if she owns clothes that actually fit her, or if she puts any thought into how she appears.

Hi, that girl is me and the answer to all of those questions is yes.

Do I see a problem with wearing XL t-shirts regularly? Absolutely not. Instead of worrying about trivial things such as my appearance to people I don't even know, I care more about my attitude towards others or my responsibilities for the day. Just because I dress like this to run errands or babysit doesn't mean I don't know how to pull myself together for job interviews, important events, or family gatherings. I do in fact shower every day and, not only do I own makeup, but I also know how to apply it believe it or not.

It's just that I'd rather be comfortable while you would rather not be.

And yes, I own multiple big shirts. Shockingly I do have a good sense of hygiene and I do wash my clothes. I even tend not to repeat shirts multiple days in a row (though it has happened once or twice because I'm not a laundry obsessed monster. I'm a human too).

And yes, I am wearing shorts under this. I'm not a creep who decides to wear nothing under a t-shirt out in public. Sure I may not wear pants to bed but that doesn't mean I'll roll up to my favorite burrito place going commando under my t-shirt.

Personally, I believe that beauty comes from within yourself when you are feeling the most comfortable in your own skin. For me, that can be when I'm all dressed up or when I'm in my favorite XL t-shirt and running shorts that you probably can't even see. I'm not dressing for you, I'm dressing for me. I'm sorry if that offends you.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

10 Reasons Why Sisters Are The Best

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
