The body comes in all shapes and sizes. For some of us, the Lord blesses us with wider hips more than anything else. All body shapes are beautiful and unique and make every one unique. These are just some of the struggles for us wider people. I have collected the struggles from my own personal experiences and from my other friends who share the struggle. These are our struggles.

1. People tell you your hips are wide... like you don't already know.

Believe it or not, us wide hipped people know that we have wide hips. It crosses our minds a couple times a day, mainly when we put clothes on and look in the mirror. But trust me, we know our hips are wide.

2. Jeans are difficult to find... extremely difficult.

The true struggle is in finding any clothes that fit your body shape, but jeans are definitely the hardest. Wide hips make it extremely to find jeans that fit everywhere, from your legs, to your waist and most apparently, your hips. You probably have to buy a size bigger, so it fits your hips.

3. A dress looks long enough until you put it on.

After you put the dress on you are reminded of the amount of fabric that is used to go out and cover your hips. Thus making your dress shorter and a little less modest.

4. When people judge your waist dimensions on jeans.

Yes, we must get bigger waist sizes because otherwise, our pants don't fit. Size is just a number.

5. You have to put dresses on over your head.

If you want to try that cute dress, it is going to have to go on over your head. Not a huge deal until it is a really poofy dress, then it is an issue.

6. Loose fitting dresses are not very flattering.

You look like you are wearing a circus tent.

7. You do a little jig to get your pants on.

People may know about the jean-put-on dance, but they don't know how grooving we have to get to put our jeans. Especially if they have just been washed.

8. Thigh sweat.

With wide hips comes large thighs. Summer months are hot, thigh sweat is real. Prepare to leave an imprint of your thighs on any plastic or leather.

9. You don't fit in some chairs.

Roller-coasters, airport seats, small children chairs and some swings. The struggle is real, we just want to sit.

10. Constantly hitting your hips on corners.

It hurts, you would think we learn. But we don't.

11. Your belt is bent from wear.

Your belt is bent perfectly to fit your hips and is warped even when it is hanging.

12. High-waisted jeans don't serve the purpose of fitting your waist.

High-waisted jeans don't work when they fit at your hips and are loose at your waist. What's the point of them if they don't fit?

13. Your jeans sag in the back, hence why your belt is bent.

Because your hips are so wide, your size bigger jeans tend to be loose around your waist, so you wear a belt. But now your belt is bent because you are trying to keep your jeans on. I'm mean if they slip off, they will stop at your hips, but it is uncomfortable and kind of awkward. My suggestion, find a good REAL leather belt and use that, it won't wear out as quickly.

14. Having to pull your jacket up so you can zip it.

It's true. We have to pull our jacket up, zip it and then pull it back down. And yes, it is annoying.

15. Form-fitting dresses make you look extremely bottom heavy.

They do, you look like a pear (nickname for the wide hip body type). My suggestion, find a patterned dress that is distracting so it isn't as apparent that you're trying to be a Kardashian.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

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.

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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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?
