I'll Be Rocking Comfy Clothes To Class, Because Feeling Like A Million Bucks Is Better Than Looking Like It

While everyone else may look cute, and I admire that, it's just not going to happen for me.

Most days, you can catch me sporting a nice pair of Lulu's and a T-shirt or hoodie. I'm a woman of simple means and find that I don't have a desire to put in much thought when it comes to putting makeup on or dressing for class.

Here is my philosophy: if I didn't have to wake up at 5 a.m. three times a week, I would maybe consider spending a few extra minutes of thought into my outfit for the day.

Here's the reality: I need those extra three-plus minutes of sleep, and I don't care how much anyone might tell me otherwise.

However, on the off-chance you do catch me wearing anything but clothes you could work out in, that usually means one of three things:

1. I ran out of other clean clothes.

2. I have a presentation or a meeting immediately after class or during

If there's time to change, I make the effort to wear my comfy clothes and then change when necessary.

3. I'm trying to impress someone.

I don't always want to look like a slob.

But if I am being honest, the later of the three has only happened maybe a handful of times, so that variable is highly exclusive compared to the others. Thus, it really shouldn't count.

Back to my reasoning behind my daily clothing choices.

First, a comfortable me is someone who will get engrossed in lectures/videos/presentations compared to me that has to remember to keep her legs crossed because she is wearing a dress and doesn't want to flash anyone.

Second, I have a wider range of motion wearing comfortable clothes (flexibility is key, my friends). Finally, and the most logical of them all, I will sometimes go workout directly after class. Who would've thought? Whether that means I go to yoga, take our dogs for a walk, go for a run or whatever, my clothes are serving their active purpose at some point that day.

My clothing choices are intention... well for the most part, at least. I may not always look like a million bucks, but damn, I feel it.

Comfy clothes, live on!

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions.

Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
