Getting ready for school is a daily struggle. Everyone says they are going to dress cute, (or however guys dress...) and they are going to spend hours getting ready in the morning. For what though? No one cares what you wear. Most girls plan their outfit out, then end up choosing sleep over getting up early to curl their hair. (DUH! Curling hair takes way to long anyway.) As the time slips away, the planned outfit of the over-worn high wasted black skirt with a tank and sweater is tossed on the floor and out come the yoga pants and sweatshirts. If you ask me, I think guys much rather prefer girls wear yoga pants every day... awkward, I feel self-conscious just writing about that because of the implications. But hey, if you've got it, flaunt it, I guess. But that's beside the point. Girls always aim to dress cute to impress people, but its not that easy. Most people aren't impressed by your clothes, unless they are next seasons hottest trends, or you're a superstar model for high end fashion designers.
It doesn't matter what you wear, or how much money you spend on the entire outfit. You'll still get judged for it. Though it's not widely known, what you wear can put you into cliques. The outfits you wear are exactly like the outfits of the other people in your "designated clique", but you don't even realize it. If 10 people were randomly picked out of a crowd, I bet you I could tell you what stereotypical high school clique they would fit into, just by looking at what they are wearing. Its funny how cliques have expanded to more than just our personalities, but to the way we talk, act, and even what we wear.
I guess I'm just going to have to face the facts of life and get over the stereotypes in high school, as well as the harsh society it creates. If best friends want to go up against one another because they both like the same superstar soccer player, then so be it. If shoving a freshman in a locker makes you feel strong, then I guess that's that, as long as you can sleep at night. I learned that sometimes, the best way of fighting back is to do nothing at all. There is only so much change one person can make before they get worn out too. Besides, high school has been this way for decades. And they say some things never change.
But on a lighter note, watch this. You may not get it as much as I do, but its still funny. HILARIOUS
