5 Things I Don't Understand.

I'm a pretty opinionated person at times, and I also enjoy making lists. So here's the kickstarter for a new '5 things' series type thing. I was going to do 10 things, but that's a lot of things to think of on the spot. So here goes...

1. Why my pyjamas are always too short.

I'm a pretty short person. I'd like to say I'm 5'4" but in reality its more like 5'3". Yet, my pyjamas always hit my ankle or just above. I have tall friends. Their pyjamas fit fine, they even trail on the floor sometimes... I'm baffled.

2. Why men give me pet names.

I am seventeen years old, and yet at work, when I'm on the till, a high proportion of the male customers over 30 refer to me as 'darling', 'chuck', 'poppet', 'sweetheart' or something similar. Why? WHY?? They don't know me, they don't give the guys pet names, and I'm not a pathetic five year old. If you're in this male over 30 quota, and yes I'm talking to you. Don't do that, it seriously pisses people off.

3. Crop tops.

Need I say more? They're all the rage right now, but when people wear them all I see is their bare midriff, which I honestly don't care to see. It isn't sexy or cute, its unnecessary. May I also add that crop tops give the insane illusion that ones breasts are far droopier than they actually are? Seriously. Throw in one of those tight turtleneck crop tops and BOOM: instant boob de-lift. And why would you wear a turtleneck to cover your chest, but then leave your stomach on full display? It doesn't make it OK.

4. 'Hipsters'.

Umm. Ok, so if I recall correctly, the 'hipster' trend was supposed to be about being unique.  Yes? I'll tell you now - it failed. Because almost everyone is wearing 'hipster' fashion right now, to the point where you throw some studs and a couple of geometric prints onto a T-shirt and ERMAHGERD it's hipster! No. No it is not. This whole not-a-trend-trend is so out of hand now, that I have to spend hours trawling the internet for clothes that aren't covered in studs, or half missing because of the 'pretty' cut-out that shows a lot too much bra, or covered in geometric/aztec/moustache prints.

Pay attention: Wearing the same thing as everyone else because its 'unique and individual' IS NOT UNIQUE.

5. Selfies (& Snapchat)

Too many times I've sat in the common room and watched people hold their phone in front of them and pull a duck face. In the company of people; friends! Just no. Don't do it! There are two people who sit in my 'area' of the common room, and they sit next to each other, take selfies and then snapchat them to each other. Err, need I say more? Also, snapchat to me just seems like the perfect way to send naked pictures, without worrying about them going viral. I'm pretty sure that is what it was invented for. I'm good thanks.

Discalimer: This post makes me seem like a complete traditionalist prude. I'm not, I'm cool with showing a bit of skin and sending your friends naked pictures and whatever. I won't judge. Just, do it in a normal fashion.
