Wear Whatever You Want

Unless it's a see-through bra and underwear to the park with children present.

Wear Whatever You Want

Lately, I have been seeing articles floating around Facebook that have to do with telling women (and sometimes men) what to wear and what not to wear. These range from either saying over sized t-shirts and Nike shorts are ugly to wearing "respectable clothing".

Those articles are written to get a reaction out of the people in the title, and most of the time they do. You will most likely see comments that say something along the lines of "I can wear whatever I want!" Or "yeah! Stop wearing that!" While it's nice to see different perspectives, it's not always the best advice to actually follow (unless you REALLY want to).

Here's the thing, you can wear whatever the heck you want to wear. If you want to wear over sized t-shirts and Nike shorts for the rest of your life, DO IT. If you think that's ugly and you want to wear dressy pants and a blouse, DO IT. It really doesn't matter if people say your outfit choices are not good enough, because that person is not you. You do not need the approval of some stranger to wear what you want. Also, if you are the one saying that people should stop wearing something, maybe try and realize everyone is going to have a different sense fashion than you (and that's a-ok).

Now, if you read one of those "Girls, stop wearing __" articles and it really makes you think of your outfit choices, then go ahead and change. The great thing about outfits is that they are changeable. Your outfit choices do not make you a Good or bad person, they make you unique (even if everyone else is wearing it). Wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable, that's the way to live life to the fullest. No one has time for someone else to tell them what to wear.

40 Gift Ideas for the Indecisive

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."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

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…

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
