What size clothes am I?!

I am currently in the middle of writing an essay for my philosophy of sex and love class. Essentially the essay is on how culture shapes our ideas of sex and attraction. I am basically focusing on pornography in this essay so this has been a fun day of research.

I'm going to take a break from writing my essay to write this blog post about my clothing size. What? Why? To show how ridiculous clothing sizes are.

I'll start off with some basic body stats:
I am around 137 pounds right now and 5'7''. I am 19. I am athletic, I run marathons (sometimes) but I also eat crazy unhealthy on occasion.

I swear this post isn't to post selfies of myself or to show off, I am just complaining on the fashion industry and how no two places can agree on clothing sizes. Also, all of these photos were taken within this past year.

I am generally a size 10 pant now, but the majority of my pants are a size 8 and I have some size 6 and size 12 pants as well. Huh.

(Size 6 pants, size small shirts)

I almost always wear a size medium pant but all of my workout pants are about half size small and the other half size medium. All of my pajama bottoms are size large or else they are too small. Shorts generally have to be a size large.

Size medium shorts that are too big, size small shirt

My shirt size is medium, most of the time.

My bra size is usually a 34A but sometimes is a 36A, 32B and 34B. I have some bralets which are a size small and some that are medium. Bathing suit tops are always medium.

Bathing suit bottoms are always large but underwear is always a size medium. What?

Size large bikini bottoms, size large mens shirt? Haha

I fit into most size 8 shoes but running shoes and some flip flops I take a 9 and some flats and boots I need 7 1/2s in.

All of my coats from 4 years ago that were a size small still fit and are not too small but I always buy mediums now.

Size medium shirts, size 8 pants, size 8 shoes.

I am usually a size small in dresses but some I need a medium in. I can still fit into some x-small dresses. Also I am a size 4-6 in dresses.

So what the fuck, fashion industry? I have to take in 3 different sizes of the same pair of jeans into the change room and quite often come out with none of them fitting. My body isn't oddly shaped, I am a normal human with no lump protruding from my calve or one boob 5x bigger than the other. So I don't see the problem?

Anyways. I promise that this summer I am going to be blogging more. I'll probably re-design my blog again. I'll have more well thought out posts. Next week I have 3 essays due, 3 exams and then I have one three page paper due the week after that. Currently I'm still working 12-20 hours a week which is not enough so I am looking for full time work, so especially until I find full-time work, I will have a lot of time to blog.

I'm looking forward to reflecting on my past year at school, new thoughts I've had and maybe some creative pieces! I also plan on blogging more about fitness and my struggles with my body. (How freaking shitty does that sound?).

Anyways, that is all for now.

Those studying for exams, good luck!

Do you have weird experiences with clothing sizes? 

#25 30 Day Writing Challenge - Something I am worrying about

I think the biggest thing I am worried about right now is... well there are a few things. There isn't just one big thing.

Viola! A list:

- My driving test- I am not saying exactly when, but I am going for my full G licence in July. I really don't want to have to retake it. I have to pay more money. I desperately want my G, because I will hopefully be getting a car in August. I can drive with my G2 still, but I want my full license!

- Final Marks- I might be getting them today... I need my writers craft and law marks still. Exam review is today, and I hope they have my final grades. If not, I can do the math... so I should know for the most part, at least. I am worried I won't do well on the law exam!

- Moving in and attending university- I am going to Nipissing University in the fall! I am nervous to meet new people. I am worried it won't go well. I'm sure it will, but you never know.

-Graduation is on Thursday- I am worried I won't win a grad award. It is fine if I don't, but I think it would be nice, of course. I am nervous for grad and saying goodbye to everyone.

All of these things happening are ringing a few bells with me. I remember in Family Studies last year, we were talking about "what makes an adult", and all of those things, along with many more criteria, for example, being 18, drinking alcohol, owning a house, car, kids, married, are all things we came up with that all lead to being an adult. So am I an adult? SWEET. TIME TO GO BE MATURE AND STUFF!

Kidding.

Anyways, my prom was yesterday! Look forward to a blog post sometime today talking about prom w/ pictures! I will do it once I get on my iPad.
