No shade to them, everyone has their own style that they like and feel confident in. At first, I felt pressured to wear the same, their matching sets, bike shorts, crop tops, and more. For example, at Miami University, I see a lot of girls in sororities wearing similar outfits throughout the day. Everyone feels the desire for belonging and to fit in with the people around them. Let’s create a culture that celebrates expression rather than forces unrealistic expectations.ĭressing for you and not for others is easier said than done. But do we really need to dress to impress? Shouldn’t those around us love us for us rather than the clothes we are wearing? I remember feeling relieved when I had a conversation with my boyfriend and he explained that he would love me regardless of what I wear (the only exception being the ill-fitting cat eye glasses I wore in high school but that’s beside the point). From a young age, girls are introduced to a culture where they are expected to dress to impress… specifically the men around them. Standards have been set for centuries regarding expectations surrounding dress, especially for women.
Being 100 days in doesn't mean you should keep it up for 100 more. A mistake I made and have seen others make is feeling that once you start, you can't stop. I don't think it would've mattered if I was in a different country, at a full-scheduled conference in Dallas, or at the hospital, I wasn't losing my streaks. I can think of busy days when I made sure to set aside time where I could be around wifi so I could send my necessary Snapchats. Keeping your numbers up becomes a part of your daily routine.
The higher the streak, the more important it becomes. This brings me to my reasoning of why you should consider escaping this modern phenomenon. I used to be right there with them, until recently. "Have you snapped me yet today?" - Dunia W.Īs you can see, those who participate in this activity are passionate about it. I filed a complaint on the Snapchat website about losing streaks once, when I checked the next day they were back." - Mallie E I broke a 425 day once and he didn't talk to me for a week." - Gaby H
