Accept It, We'll All Be Wearing Bike Shorts Soon

I don't set the trends, I just report on them.

Accept It, We'll All Be Wearing Bike Shorts Soon

Some of you may already be aware of this recent trend, but for those who are not, bike shorts are in. You know, the long, legging shorts that your dad wears for his bike races? Well, soon you'll be wearing them to class, the grocery store and maybe even date night (OK, that's a little far, but you get the point).

You might be thinking, "who in their right mind would wear these as a fashion statement?" Kim Kardashian, that's who. History repeats itself, and we all know that if Kim starts wearing something, no matter how much backlash there is at first, Kathy always ends up wearing the same thing a few months later when she's picking up the boys from soccer practice.

They're basically PJs.

Who wouldn't be in favor of a trend that is essentially socially acceptable pajamas? Comfort is always my number one requirement, and these babies are that and so much more. I'm wearing a pair right now I could either go out with friends or stay home and take a nap and these shorts would be a perfect fit for both.

Leggings are already socially acceptable (for the most part), the only difference is that these are a little shorter. I am an avid legging wearer, so I always mourn a little when summer comes around and it's too hot for my favorite pair of pants.

Well, those days are over my friend, bike shorts are essentially summer's version of our beloved stretchy bottoms.

OK, back to Kim K.

North Korea has Mr. Jong-un and we have Ms. Kardashian. Both essentially tell us how we should be living our lives, our version is just a little more stylish. Either way, you can't deny that Kim has a bit of influence over our fashion and beauty choices. Remember when everyone thought contouring was crazy? Now most of us can't live without it!

You may be against them now, but sooner or later she'll break you down. Come back to me in a couple of months and we can talk, but all I'll say is I told you so!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
