To All The #TrashWalkers Out There, Keep Slaying

May your T-shirts be large and your heart larger.

To All The #TrashWalkers Out There, Keep Slaying
Twitter

A common style you can find on college campuses is the oversized T-shirt and athletic shorts-look. You'll find women walking to class, grabbing a bite to eat, or running errands in the comfortable uniform. Is it the most flattering outfit? Not necessarily. It might not look like you're wearing pants, but man is it comfy. Recently this outfit, or rather, this lifestyle was put into question. A man named David took to Facebook to not just express an opinion, but to rant about how tired he is of this outfit and the women who wear it, calling us "disgusting creatures" and giving us the new title of #TrashWalkers. Yes, he created a hashtag because of how upset he is about the outfit choices of "basic ass teenage girls." He included a photo for reference as well.

Here's the thing, you are allowed the right to an opinion. There's definitely times I'm walking around town and see an outfit that I wouldn't wear, as many people do, but you don't see us going on the Internet and pouring our thoughts out about someone's outfit choices. Now I don't know David, but I don't believe he's Anna Wintour's right-hand man and probably isn't insulting us in the name of fashion. Rather, you took to Facebook to attack a bunch of college girls for being comfortable. If there's one thing I've learned in college, it's that you don't speak poorly of a Comfort Colors XL T-shirt.

I'm sorry you feel the need, David, to condemn our parents for letting us walk out of the house in something so horrid. I'm not sure of your motives, however. What did you think was going to happen when you posted this? Did you not think of the power of a woman in a big t-shirt with a Twitter account? Me and my trash walking sisters would not remain silent and many of us took to the Internet to ask the question who exactly do you think you are? Now we don't know you, but since you've judged us on our appearance, we can only gather that you are a man who has nothing better to do than to judge women. I really wish I had that much time on my hands.

I speak on behalf of all #TrashWalkers when I say, no I'm not going to be changing anytime soon. Our voices are as large as our T-shirts and our need for your approval is as non-existent as our pants.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
