Youthful Life: X

Being a teenager means that you're going to care how you look. If people tell you that they gives none about their appearance they're most likely lying through their two front teeth. I'm not going to lie, I pride myself on looking good on a daily basis. Ask my roommate, PC, do I practice smiling to myself in the mirror before leaving for class, do I strike ridiculous poses, and do I decide what to wear for the next day, maybe yes, or maybe no, all I know is I've got it going on. When you look good you feel good, and you've got one less thing to worry about. One of my favorite things about going to college in Vermont was being able to buy a whole new wardrobe, which included, you must have guessed it, a shat ton of plaid. Almost an obscene amount, plaid just makes everything better. There must be plaid for days. I woke up on Wednesday morning to another day of rain.

Being a teenager is all about first impressions. The summer has ended and school is about to start. Whether you're starting your seemingly endless days in the teenage prison known as high school or nervous as eff to take your first breath of collegiate campus air, your first day of school is one of those days that matter. You only get one chance to make your first impression, to stand out from everyone else, and make a name for yourself. People judge you on how you look, the way you talk and most of all how you carry yourself, so give them something to look at. Get ready to ignite some rumors and spark it up.

Everybody dresses up for the first day, unless you're the perpetual skanktastic hoebag who thinks booty shorts that show panties or the total douchebag and didn't get the memo that cut off shirts were against dress code...

Being a teenager is all about being confident and secure with yourself. College is your new beginning, a clean slate, and a fresh start. You get to be whoever you want and everyone you meet will be getting that first opinion of you. It's up to you to make your mark, show who you really are, and be yourself. Of course, that means your personal style is going to come into play. Face it, if I see someone who dresses like me, we probably have something in common. If I see you and you're all pierced out, smoking whatever, beer stains on a wife-beater, I'll most deff be dipping out before you come talk to me. It's about time that you reinvent yourself.
