‘Short’ on ‘self-esteem’

This week’s postings will be from our own fellow classmates Sara Visciglio, ’11, and the one and only Editor-in-Chief Austin Ward, ’11. Their plain-spoken honesty made their responses relatable, and their insight enlightened even us, the Almighty Insecurity-Fighters. Once again, remember to comment!

It’s like living in a boy’s closet

Either before we fall asleep or the next morning, we girls plan our outfits. We never want to wear a similar style too much, and we always want to fashion a new and improved look every day (unless, of course, it’s Friday and we’re just too tired).
