Let's be real with each other--it's the 21st Century and I think we all know by now that leggings are slowly taking over the universe and in the near future nobody will be wearing jeans anymore. One day everyone will just be wearing leggings, and I look forward to the day that finally happens.

O.K. maybe not exactly like that. But I still hate wearing jeans and I would much rather wear leggings for these 6 reasons.

1. They're SO comfy.

Especially the ones that are lined with fleece! It's like wearing pajamas, so why would I wear uncomfortable denim when I can be walking around basically wearing a blanket on my legs? NEXT.

2. I never have problems finding a pair of leggings that fit.

I'm going to keep it real with you guys--I don't even know what size in jeans I wear because On God every store that sells jeans has a different sizing system. But I for sure know what size in leggings I wear because they're all the same! And leggings just fit better! How many times have you tried on a pair of jeans just to have it fit in the waist but not the legs? You don't have that problem with leggings!

3. Contrary to popular belief, you can still look cute in leggings.

"But Anna, I won't EVER wear leggings everyday because when I go to class I need to look stylish and cute" someone out there probably said when they clicked on this article. LISTEN. You can still look cute in leggings--there are leggings out there that aren't strictly meant for athletic wear. Expand your horizons, people.

4. When I'm wearing leggings I don't feel like I'm suffocating.

Giphy

Every time I put on a pair of jeans I have to do the "pants dance" to get them on because they're so dang tight, and when I finally do get them on, they leave indents around my abdomen and hips because they're so tight. Jeans are suffocating, whereas leggings tend to be the opposite.

5. Leggings tend to run cheaper.

Giphy

Now this is only true if you buy certain pairs of leggings, but, the point still remains. I've never once bought a pair of jeans and thought afterwards that it was a steal. They're so expensive and for no reason at all.

6. Because I look amazing in them.

Giphy

I look like I'm dying when I'm wearing jeans because I feel like I'm dying. I don't have that problem with leggings--I look amazing so I feel amazing.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
