My exgirlfriend studied fashion textile at a prestigious college and the pressure there is insane . She worked from 9 am untill 1 am regularly . Professors urged students to skip sleeping sometimes . I dont know any other study that is so competitive and stressful as art degrees . For all the flack they get , they really do work hard . <| sep |> I have never seen such shit officiating in my life . I ' ve seen several missed calls for and against us , and calls that shouldn ' t have been called . These refs have already fucked us over . <| sep |> Yes , I agree . I will wear a oneinch heel with a dress or skirt , but that ' s it . When I was in my twenties , though , I crammed my wide feet into shoes that looked pretty on the shelf in the classic feminine sense even when they hurt . I now know how stupid that was , but back then I wanted to be attractive to men . It comes from movies and fashion advertising , IMO , neither of which has women ' s overall wellbeing as their goal .
