I Have Always Been Fat, Yet Not Fat Enough

Let me explain.

I Have Always Been Fat, Yet Not Fat Enough

Let me explain because it sounds pretty confusing but it's not.

Ever since I was young I've always had a weight problem. I've always been made fun of for my weight. It used to get to me but now I'm fine.


I can remember being like 10 or something and going to the mall with my family to get new clothes. I was always so excited because I went to a private school so when I got to buy new 'street clothes' it was the way I could express myself.

But I didn't know style if it slapped me in the face. I went to the girls' section and of course, with my lil belly, I had to get the XL clothes to try on. It was never so simple as just finding something I liked and getting it.

I always had to try it on because some things fit better than others. So I had my girls 14/16 camo monkey shirt which came with the cutest necklace. I tried it on and it stuck to every roll I had. But this was an XL, how could it not fit me?? I had the same one in a different color at home.

This has always been an issue for me, but now it's more frustrating because every store and brand within the store for different. I can wear a medium in Pink leggings but an XL in Nike leggings.


One of my favorite places is Target. They have the cutest clothes and I'm obsessed

I love going to Forever 21 and Agaci because they have cute rompers and bodysuits. I try on an XL and it's too small. So I go to the plus size (they have the cutest stuff there) I get a 0x or maybe a 1x. They're way too big.

Wait what? But the XL was too tight.. how does the plus size stuff not fit me?? This isn't possible. I thought I couldn't fit into the regular sizes, so I found some cute stuff in the plus size section and I was super excited. But they're all way too big on me?
This is when I realized I'm in between sizes. But not only sizes, sections.

The point of this is: just stick to target rompers and oversized t-shirts. Get a 2XL shirt.

Nobody can tell if you're fat, skinny(well to a certain extent), pregnant or anything, but they do know that you are comfy af.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

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!
