The year is coming to end and it’s just around this time that people realise they have been pathetic souls. Like as though they spent the whole year oblivious to their life situations. I won’t lie, I too make resolutions, but not out loud or on social media. I am not fan of predicting my future failures. “I will study way more,” you say. Just for the graduation list to not have your name.
Since resolutions are a thing for many people, I am going to break down some styles and habits that should go with the year.
First, is the tongue out thing people do when taking pictures. This habit was cool while it lasted, hell even I fully indulged in it. Miley Cyrus made something so gross and disgusting seem so cool, so the entire globe was on board with it. However, now it has taken it’s toll; especially when the whole tongue is being paraded. Let’s usher in new goofy fun faces with the new year. Out with the old and in with the new.
Then there is that way girls like to pose for pictures. Where either the right or left leg is bend like as if they are lame. You must have seen this around, every girl was doing it. Sorry, is doing it. This is a definite no-no in 2016. Let’s go back to the old fashioned way of posing, where a bent leg looked weird as opposed to being cool- I beg of you ladies.
For the hair bit; the bob braids need to get outta here. This hair style has been everywhere from campusers to tomato venders. No one’s arguing about how good these braids look but a tomato vender doing them is the last stroll. Campusers are transcenders, so let’s match along to fresher hairstyles the new year promises to bring.
Guys
The ladies aren’t the only one’s getting burnt. Even guys have habits and styles that they are either oblivious to or choose to ignore.
Guys, the act of swelling and throwing attitude around is getting old and exhausting. Yes, there’s always something attractive about a guy who swells but if you’re over doing it, it goes from attractive to unattractive real quick. You see a guy in the bar trying to get a girl to feel his game, but for some reason he thinks the occasional rubbing of his palms and speaking like he’s being coerced will earn him points. If you’re trying to impress a girl, don’t make it seem like your doing her a favor. Get off that supposed cloud 9, and get down to earth. This has been going on since time immemorial but may be 2016 will be the year, these men get the memo.
The “all star” shoes. These shoes were an instant hit in 2009 no doubt, but they continue to be a hit to some campus boys. I know they have been re-invented over time, however am talking about the first ones, the traditional white and black, red and white ones. Seven years is a long run, don’t you think? They actually shouldn’t be donated, they need to be set a blaze. There are also those all star converse shoes with no laces but hook and loop fasteners commonly known as Velcro. Those ones that make a noise when you unfasten them. Lord! Your a grown man and instead of wearing converse shoes with laces, you decide to pick on shoes fit for toddlers. How about this coming year, you guys leave issues of the toddlers to the toddlers.
Don’t get me started with the baggy jeans. They have honestly over stayed their welcome. How is it, that some twenty something men think it’s okay to wear baggy jeans? You’re not a HipHop rapper from the 90’s, so no one’s going to give you a free pass for trying to look like Puff Daddy or LL.Cool J. You don’t need to get jeans too skinny that they outline your crouch, but let them be in between baggy and skinny. Throw in pairs of khaki,leather and sweat pants to add some flair to your wardrobe for a change.
This article is about habits that should go out with the year’s end, however there are some things, for the likes of me wouldn’t want to go away.
The pout. I know guys won’t side with me on this because they are always complaining about their ladies’pouting in every selfie but, you will be fine. In any case, no one seems to complain about your peace signs and all those other weird signs you guys do with your fingers to look hood. So, the pout trend isn’t going away. At least not next year. Only when the Kardashians deem it irrelevant will it go away. Same thing with the selfies; they are here to stay.
So if you are that resolution crap kind of person, how about you throw in some of the things I have talked about. Resolutions aren’t a bad thing though, because when we people stop hoping to see our better selves, we become hopeless souls. The trick is knowing how to clarify these resolutions to yourself.
