My Secret Admirer

December is a hard month for me to get through. As soon as I get back from Thanksgiving break, all I can think of is going back home, even though I have so much to do before that option presents itself. The third week of December is finals week for me, and I am stressed beyond belief this year, due to having seven exams.  Thankfully my mom helped relieved my stress by sending me a care package filled with one gift for each day of the month.  I love each of the little trinkets I get from her, it shows just how much she cares about me.  I like to tell people that this little man that hangs on my ear whispers me sweet things.  Maybe if I'm lucky he'll even whisper the answers to all my exams...

Leggings as Pants...?

Since when has it been okay to not wear pants? This new trend, wearing leggings as pants just doesn't cut it for me. It was okay when leggings were worn under long t-shirts or dresses as a way to cover your legs, but as pants? Not so much. Even girls that have gorgeously toned and trimed thighs can't seem to pull this off. Leggings pull and tug at your legs and make it seem like you have flabby legs even if you don't. Most girls that wear this trend insist on wearing it with boots and an almost-butt-covering sweatshirt. This may be okay for the gym, but not for public use. Although this is a style that I see all over, I refuse to participate in this widely unattractive new trend.
