It Is 100% OK to Wear Sweats to Class

Let me preface this by saying that there is a time and a place for everything. Some days you may want to dress up and some days you may have to dress up to look professional. You are in college to hopefully get a job one day after all.

However, if it's just any other day there is no reason why you shouldn't be allowed to wear whatever you want. It is not a requirement to wear makeup every day. It is not a requirement to put pants and uncomfortable shoes on every day.

You should be allowed to walk around feeling comfortable in your own skin without fear of being criticized for what you are wearing.

Sweatpants and t-shirts are undoubtedly the most comfortable things in this earth. And there's a good chance you spent the last 12 years under a strict dress code and you will get a job shortly after college with a similar dress code. College is the only 4 years of your life where you don't have someone telling you what to wear.

So, wear your swear pants. Wear that oversized t-shirt. Stop worrying about the blemishes on your face and the bumps in your hair. Be confident in who you are because you are perfect.

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?

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.
