A Guy's View: What Is A Romper?

No, seriously. What is it.

You've seen them. You're not exactly sure what she's wearing at first, or if you like it. I had this experience many, many times before I actually figured out what these girls were actually wearing. At first I said "wow what a great dress!" But after closer examination, I noticed the bottoms were shorts. So I said okay, must be just a matching tank top and shorts. But no, they're attached.

Now me being a guy, it took me much longer than it should when I was younger to distinguish the difference between a dress and a skirt. Bad, I know. I later learned after many confusing encounters, that this fashion contraption was called a romper. A hybrid between a dress, shirt and shorts. It's basically every girl's dream scape, and I'll tell you why.

Every dude knows that whether it's deciding where to eat, where to go, or what to do, you're going to get the classic response with a girl. "I don't care." And they'll never tell you what they do want, but they'll always tell you what they don't. "How about Chipotle?" "yeah... I guess." Oh, well thanks for the exemplification of "not caring." It's what girls do. They can decipher what they don't want. This is why they love rompers so much.

Yeah they're hip and trendy, and they're even a good change up from the other common outfits girls wear. But that's not why girls are wearing them. Instead of having to make an actual decision on what style of clothing to wear, or what's appropriate, now they can just revert to indecisiveness and wear a little bit of each piece of clothing. Half dress, shorts, tank top, or even sometimes T-shirt. They can skip the decision, and just decide to wear basically all of them. They wear them to look dressy, or to go out, or even just casually to throw something on.

But there's more. There's a reason I'm writing about this. It's killing my favorite part about the warm weather: sundresses. And I speak for 90 percent of the male population here. It's a glorious time of year, women all walking around in colorful, patterned dresses that flow in the wind and always make you turn your head. These rompers? Are threatening this majestic trend. Ever since these makeshift jumpsuits have been popping up, I've been seeing less and less sundresses. This is not okay.

Rompers are not just a new fashion trend, they're a statement. Backing girls' indecisiveness, and marking the downward trend of the beloved sundress. It needs to stop. Pick an outfit girls, not just a mashup of every option there is. And most importantly, make the sundress great again.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
