Outfits Every College Student Is Guilty Of Wearing To Class

One of the awesome things about being in college is that pretty much everyone has the mentality of live and let live.  There are no “cool” cliques, there’s no embarrassment over not wearing the right brand of sneaker, and no one really cares what you wear or where you bought your clothes.  However, there is such a thing as a fashion faux pas, even though no one in college really cares enough to call you out on it. Just because you have the freedom to wear whatever you want doesn’t necessarily mean you should.  Even though we all raise our eyebrows when someone else wears this stuff on campus, we’re all guilty of doing it, at least once in our college career. Here are 20 outfits we all wear. 20. The workout tank with giant arm holes. Even though you know you should leave it at the gym, sometimes you

18 Thoughts Every College Student Has During Syllabus Week

Although syllabus week seems boring and monotonous, it’s also the easiest and most pointless week of the entire year for college students.

How It Feels to Have Never Been in a Serious Relationship

I’m twenty and I’ve never been in a relationship that’s lasted longer than a month or two. But so what, right? I’m only twenty. I still have my entire life ahead of me! I have goals and aspirations and things to learn about myself before I can properly settle down with someone. But it doesn’t always feel that way. Sometimes it just sucks, especially when it seems like everyone around me is in a relationship. There’s been times when I’ve wallowed in self-pity because I somehow convinced myself I’d be #foreveralone (I even have the tweets to prove it). And there’s been times when I thought it was the end of the world, like when I almost didn’t have a prom date and for some godforsaken reason I had to have a date or I wouldn’t go.

Please Stop Assuming You Can Read My Body Language

I’ve had my fair share of times when people think that they know exactly what I’m thinking or feeling based on my body language. My arms are crossed? Well that must mean one of two things: I’m cold or I’m angry. Wrong. I’m slouching in my chair in class? That means I don’t really care about what’s being taught or I’m not paying full attention. Wrong. I’m not smiling or laughing at something my friend just said? Obviously I don’t like what she said. Wrong. The truth? Sometimes I just feel like my arms are awkwardly hanging by my sides so I’ll cross them because it’s comfortable. I have a tendency to slouch in class because the desks are uncomfortable and if I’m going to have to sit in one for an hour and a half I’m going to make myself as comfortable as possible. I don’t find it necessary to smile or laugh at
