Where are all the sweatpants and buns?

As a girl who loves fashion and shopping, I love watching television shows and seeing all the glamorous outfits that characters on television shows, like "Riverdale," "Pretty Little Liars," and "Gossip Girl" wear. But as much as I want to dress like Blair Waldorf every day, there are certainly more than a handful of days where I do not have the energy or the time.

As amazing as these high school characters look on our favorite TV shows, dressing like them every day to go to school or work is simply unrealistic.

1. Heels

As glamorous and fabulous as heels can be, no one really puts on 4-inch heels to go to school. I don’t know how Serena and Blair did it.

2. Showing your midriff

Everyone loves a good crop top but going to school and going to class may not be the best occasion for them. Also, many school dress codes have rules that prevent students from wearing crop tops.

3. Shorts and skirts

High school definitely has way too many rules about the length of shorts, skirts, and dresses. I personally just gave up and just wore pants when I was in high school. Luckily, in college there no dress code!

4. Gang apparel

Also restricted in many school dress codes is gang apparel. As much as we all want to be a South Side Serpent, we probably would not be wearing our Serpent jackets to school.

5. Glamorous hair

I do not know about you but I think all of us have those days where we throw on a hat or simply throw our hair up into a bun. I personally, do not break out my curling iron every day to try to obtain the perfect beach wave.

6. Perfect makeup


I think a lot of us wish our makeup was perfect at all times but in reality, it does not always work out that way.

7. Hats

While Jughead rocks his signature beanie on every episode of "Riverdale," most high schools do not let you wear hats indoors. Bad hair days are no exception.

8. Varsity jackets


In all my time in high school, I never saw anyone wearing a varsity jacket every single day.

9. Cheerleading uniforms

Okay, let's be real. No one wears their cheerleading uniform every single day to school either.

10. Carrying a purse instead of a backpack

When going to class many students have tons of books, notebooks, and textbooks to carry with them. Carrying a tiny little purse around is not going to cut it.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
