A turn for the worst

I'm afraid that if during the holiday season when I have plenty to talk about and I still haven't blogged in over a month, my blog has unfortunately taken a turn for the worst--slipping into nonexistence. I blame the fact that I prefer blog posts to have pictures, but by the time I get home each night I am too tired to upload pictures, let alone make a blog post. I apologize. I will do my best to revamp my motivation to blog.

In the meantime--I do have something to say about the BYU-Idaho skinny jeans ban:

Regardless of whether I think its lame or not, the fact is that BYU-Idaho has a right, as a private institution, to make up any dress code it desires. Those who applied and attend BYU-Idaho gave their consent to follow whatever that dress code may be. The fact that BYU-Idaho already doesn't allow flip-flops or shorts should suggest to those students that the institution makes very conservative choices about the dress code, and that a ban on skinny-jeans could be a real possibility. If you go to BYU-Idaho and you can't stand the thought of not being able to wear skinny jeans, then go to another school.

I think its great that everyone has an opinion on skinny jeans--but I think the bigger issue is whether BYU-Idaho has a right to ban them or not, and my answer is YES, they do have right. (Yes, I do own skinny jeans. Although I have avoided them this holiday season because with a little extra weight gain they are the hardest to put on.)
