I like hoodie

I'm thankful for hoodies. I don't think that I would be able to get through winter without them. There are weeks in January and February where I just wear a different hoodie every day of the week because I don't want to be cold. I get cold very easily, so during the winter I like to wear warm clothes so I don't freeze to death.

One of the biggest advantages of wearing a hoodie is that I can keep my head warm without having to wear a hat. Whenever I try wearing a hat, I end up getting the worlds worst hat head. My hair sticks up all over the place, lies completely flat, or some combination of the two. Hoodies solve this problem spectacularly. They fit over my head and keep it warm without pushing my hair flat or holding it at odd angles, so I when I enter a building and put my hood down I don't look like a clown (or look less like a clown ig). Hats are also a hassle to cary around all the time. I can't even keep track of my glasses for more than a few minutes without losing them, so the idea of trying to hold on to a hat for an extended period of time is frankly ridiculous. If I'm walking outside and my head gets cold, I have my hood right there to keep me warm.

I have so many hoodies. Thanks to the fact that I'm an extremely talented and successful runner, I've managed to procure a multitude of state hoodies for track and cross country. To be more accurate, I've gotten carried to state by my team enough times that I have like 5 different state hoodies that I can rotate using. With those, plus my hoodies that aren't from running, I have enough hoodies to last a full 7 day week. Having several hoodies is important for me because I don't have the confidence or swagger to pull of wearing the same hoodie every day. It takes a special kind of person to be able to wear the same sweater every day and have it work (I'm talking about Sparsh. If you're reading this, ILY Sparsh <3).

My favorite hoodie is a grey state hoodie from cross country state my Sophomore year. This was the second state I got during high school. Unlike my first state hoodie from high school which I had gotten during the previous track season, I don't have a memory of tripping and almost breaking my ankle during the race associated with it. Wearing it brings back memories of one of the two good races that I've had in my cross country career which is fun. It goes well-ish with most of the pants I own which is nice and it's also very warm and soft.

    I personally cannot get over how Sparsh wears the same hoodie every day. Like, it's hard to describe, but something about it is just so endearing. Somehow his personality exactly fits that hoodie, and the way he wears it all the time really expresses it. It almost makes me want to be wearing that hoodie, but not in a weird way. Just seeing Sparsh wear it makes me feel warm and safe inside. I personally haven't had much experience with hoodies, but the good qualities you give them are very similar to the feelings I have whenever I see Sparsh wear his.

    I agree somewhat. Hoodies are great and keep me so warm during the winter. I have to say that I prefer wearing crewnecks because I find the hood part in hoodies annoying. The hood makes wearing larger coats uncomfortable and its even more awkward when you have long hair.

    I will wear hoodies all year round. I have also collected a multitude of hoodies (and crewnecks, but I prefer hoodies because of the pocket pouch) through cross country (middle school and high school adds up to a lot of years of hoodies) and also other reasons. I love hoodies so much and I am currently contemplating buying another even though I must have 10+ at home. They're truly the clothing for any time.

    As Uni High's ultimate hoodie authority, I must disagree with your post. First of all, why you gotta call it a sweater :( With that out of the way, I believe the hoodie should define your style of fashion, not the other way around. When you start debating whether your hoodie matches with this pair of pants or with that hairstyle, you lose the confidence and swagger necessary to pull off the hoodie in the first place. As the superior article of clothing, the hoodie fits all styles and doesn't discriminate between people. Of course, there will always be those who pull it off better *ahem*, but that is due to their ungodly levels of experience and the "streaks" they maintain with their hoodie. I could've (and should've) delved into this concept for one of my blog posts, but it looks like you got the last word.

    Hoodies are incredible, I always get excited when fall comes around because it becomes okay to wear sleeves again. Its a little sad because 95% of what I wear in the colder months are hoodies and while I would like some variety, no article of clothing comes close to challenging the hoodie as the ultimate cold weather choice.

Circe

In  Song of Solomon , names play a really crucial role in shaping the narrative. There are few characters that have a name that don't have some deeper significance to them. One of the characters that we briefly touched on in reading this book was Circe. She's pretty clearly named after the character Circe from the Odyssey. I thought I'd expand on this connection a little more on this blogpost.          According the Odyssey, Odysseus and his crew landed on Circe’s island and were met by Circe and a couple of wolves. The wolves draw an immediate connection to Circe from Song of Solomon ’s dogs. In the Odyssey, Circe invites members his crew into her palace and gives them a feast of wonderful foods that they all enjoy. However, unbeknownst to the crew, the food was laced with a magic potion Circe created that turned all of the crew members that ate the food into pigs. There was one member of the crew who thought that the fre...

I didgeridoo not want to go anywhere else

If I could go anywhere, I would go to Australia. I know a bunch of random facts about the country, and I'd like to go somewhere where I would be able to use them.  When I was 13, I started listening to an Australian podcast that reviewed blockbuster movies. I soon discovered that this podcast was part of a larger network of podcasts based in Melbourne, and I ended up spending hours listening to all the various offerings. None of these podcasts are about Australia specifically; I’ve just ended up picking up an array of facts through random digressions that the speakers go on. Most of the things I know are really trivial, like how the  St. Kilda Saints won the Australian Football League Premiership in 1966, to things with practical value, like how the ancient Aboriginals developed a form of regenerative agriculture that scientists a re currently trying to rediscover. In addition to knowing random facts, I also have a pretty extensive vocabulary of Australian sayings. Fun fact: ...

The Catcher in the Rye's Catcher

I thought the parallels between what Mr. Antolini was trying to tell Holden and Holden's whole catcher in the rye thing were pretty interesting. The whole scene is well placed so that the reader still has the image of Holden catching children about to fall relatively fresh in their minds so they could see the connections between the children falling and what Mr. Antolini describes as a terrible, terrible fall. When Holden speaks of wanting to catch the children from falling, he's metaphorically speaking of preventing them from growing up and reaching adulthood. When Mr. Antolini is talking about Holden's "fall", he means his refusal to ever grow up. Mr. Antolini is essentially trying to act as the catcher for the catcher in the rye. The fact that this pushback is from a source that Holden trusts makes the scene more impactful. If it was from just anyone then Holden would probably be more willing to simply blow them off and keep on as before. But Holden spends muc...
