What Are Clothes?

I was home schooled for the last 7 months so I'm unaware of the trends that people are following nowadays. But occasionally I would drive past my old school right as it lets out, and sometimes on YouTube or Instagram, I'll see girls wearing something really weird. I'm probably going to offend some people when I say this, but here goes... What the heck are you wearing?!
Not only do some of the clothes people wear look ridiculous, but why are you wearing these things in public? Shouldn't some of that stuff be against the law? I don't understand what has happened to this generation. I might just be freaking out over nothing. But trends lately are getting weirder and weirder.

*WARNING* 

I want let everyone reading this know that this is an opinionated blog and most of everything WILL offend a lot of people. I do not apologize for having an opinion or offending anyone. If you're offended, then that's your problem. I am however sorry that you let someone else's words control how you feel. Okay, moving on. 

Floral print pants are pretty cute... If worn correctly. They look good with blazers and light or dark plain shirt depending on the color of the pants. Floral print does NOT look good with a floral  top... Or any top with a design for that matter. Please stop doing that. Also, brightly colored skinny jeans are unpleasant. I was that kid in middle school that wore brightly colored skinny jeans every day. It looked horrible. I just think they're played out. (Was that hipster of me to say?) 

I'm not going to spend too much time on this because it bothers us all, but sagging. Seriously? Have you not learned by now? For years we have been making fun of you people, and telling you to put a belt on. Please, for the love of God, PULL UP YOUR PANTS! The sad thing is, most of the people that sag, wear belts....

Anything that shows your midline is salty (not in a good way). Honestly. If you're wearing something that shows any part of your torso, besides a swimsuit, you should be burned. People in other countries get their limbs tied to goats and pulled in opposite directions for wearing things like that. Unless you're wearing something under it. That's okay. The only exception to this rule is strippers. Young women should not be wearing things like this. "Young women should not be trying to win the eyes of young men, but rather the eyes of God." - Chris Brady

Next on the list, and the most irritating to me, bikinis. Now, I don't have a problem with bikinis. I do have a problem when girls pull up the back of the bottoms to make it look like they're giving themselves a wedgie. I mean, you might as well be naked. I once watched a video of Cait Barker interviewing a pro surfer, Bree Kleintop, and they were sharing some of their workout routines. They mentioned that they like to show off their butts because they worked hard to get that. Okay, now I understand that if you work hard for something, you want to show it off. But your butt? Really? I'm done. I'm so done. 

Maybe I grew up differently (I know I did), or maybe I have different tastes. Maybe it's because I've been sheltered so long and just haven't caught on. But regardless, I hate most of the trends today. Why can't we all just wear jeans and t-shirts?! Whatever...

Tell me what you think of today's trends. Tell me what today's trends are because I think I'm missing something. If you can't tell, I post these as incomplete a lot. But thanks anyways :) 

The First Blog Series!

So I've been thinking of ways to make more effective blogs and this idea came to me. I am involved with a business that focuses around the 8 F's of life and making them better. The 8 F's are Faith, Family, Finance, Fitness, Freedom, Friends, Following, and Fun. I was thinking that every week, I could write a post on each 'F' and have a YouTube video to go along with it. Let me know what you think about it in the comments below OR give me suggestions on anything else you'd like me to write about:) God bless you and God bless America.

Rude People

Being a waitress, I have to put up with a lot of irritating people. I have a new found respect for waitresses. I remember hearing when I was younger that people would treat waitresses poorly because they might not always provide the best service.  Customers think they're above their servers. Well, here's the thing; customers don't realize everything we have to do.
I'm not saying that all customers are rude, it's mostly the ones that have never experienced being in the service industry or are just unhappy in their lives. I understand that you're hurting and you want someone to feel sorry for you, but please stop having a pity party and ruining everyone else's lives. Instead of being negative, try helping someone else out. Serve.
I once was serving a pretty big group of people and it looked like they were having a good time, so I tried not to disturb them as much. When they got up to leave, one of the women came up to me and put $0.50 in my hand. She says to me, "This would've been $5.00 if you had come back and waited on us." Now you should probably know, she was yelling at me. Honestly, all I could do was laugh. Sure it hurt, but I refuse to take people seriously when they act rude like that.
One of my managers used to be a waiter at another restaurant. Once, a lady gave him a tip of $0.10. He saw it on the table, picked it up, and ran out to give it back to the lady. He put it in her hand and said," Miss, you forgot something," then walked away. He was so insulted that he didn't want the tip. I probably would have been too. That's pretty messed up. I could tell you many waitress stories, but I have something else I'd like to share.
If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you've probably read this story. One Saturday morning, on my way to school, I made a stop at McDonald's. I went in the drive-thru and only ordered a drink, When I got to the window, they gave me a big bag of food with no drink. Why I kept driving, I'm not sure. Anyways, I pulled into a parking space and went inside. When I walked through the door, there was a guy complaining about the service. Turns out they must have been having trouble that morning because they messed up a lot of people's orders. I went up to the counter to fix my order. I let the lady know what happened and she got it all sorted out. While I was waiting, I noticed the guy at the other register talking to himself. I tried distracting myself from listening to his negativity by seeing how cute my new beanie looked. I could not believe my ears what I heard next. The guy, still talking to himself, said, "Wearing a [expletive] hat when it's 105 degrees outside. Stupidest [expletive] thing I've ever [expletive] seen." If I'm not mistaken, this guy was talking about me. My natural instinct would have been to turn to him and start a fight, but I know better now. I wasn't sure what else I could do, so i just kept looking straight forward. Luckily he left before I did. On my up to the school, I was thinking of all the things I could have said to him. One thing stuck in particular. I should have looked straight forward and shouted, "THIS IS HOW STUPID YOU LOOK TALKING TO YOURSELF." Although this would have been clever, it's a good thing I didn't say anything. I didn't know this guy's story. He might have a mental issue. You never know.
The point of this post was to show you that you should respect the people around you. You never know their story. Smile and try to brighten their day. It might seem painful at first and you think it will hurt your pride, but honestly, you will be the better person if you show others respect.

Conversation time! What are some of your experiences with rude people? Did you handle these situations well? How could you have resolved them? Let me know in the comments! Thank you friends for reading. God bless you and God bless America :)
