March Madness
It’s that time of year again! When we all get strangely invested in college basketball and then go back to not caring in April. Of course I am talking about March Madness. Now, I know nothing about college basketball, but like everyone else, I fill out a bracket. Because one day, it may not be this year, but one day, I WILL have a perfect bracket. Go ahead, call me crazy. Say it’s “impossible”, but statistically, it technically is possible. So just remember reading this rant when you see me on the news one day winning millions for my perfect bracket.
Thrifting
Have you ever opened up your favorite online thrifting app, like Depop, Thredup, or Vinted, and been greeted with multiple pairs of $300 “vintage” tops? If you have, then you know the pain of thrifting online. Despite the convenience of being able to easily sift through and find real gems, the weight on your bank account from the prices and fees take away from the joy of a new closet staple. Used clothes are supposed to be cheaper, right?? Sure, shipping is expensive, but can’t a girl just buy a pair of jeans without coming into large amounts of debt?
Nostalgia
Walking the halls of Jackson-Reed is so surreal, seeing faces you’ve known for potentially over a decade, or have grown up with is such a devastating feeling. Knowing that adulthood is just around the corner makes me nervous! While all of that may be true, I cannot wait to be independent and truly live. High school is simply a chapter in your life, a very important one at that. Never let issues get in the way of your education. It’s important to never ever dwell on the past while the future is in front of you.
