Cool Hunters

This article really made me think about what was cool, or what other people thought was cool. I started to think about what I considered cool, and how I figured out why it was cool. I consider the things that I like to be cool and I don’t worry about what the new hip style is. I like to think about how I have my own style and how some of the things I own or wear might conform to what other people think is cool. Being a college student I personally do not have the cash to keep up with new styles, nor do I have the time to be worrying about new styles and what other people are wearing. Honestly a lot of the clothes I wear have been given to me as gifts, for Christmas and my birthday or just over time. My parents know my style, and although even if I receive a gift that isn’t exactly my style I most likely will not return it. I will wear it just because it was a gift and I understand that I will be judged for everything I wear. But, honestly that is not one of my biggest concerns, especially when I am going to class, I do not really care what I look like. I feel like everyone should have their own style and should not be overly concerned with what is considered “cool”. Ultimately, it is hard to ever know what is “cool” because trends are changing so often. My one question that I have is how can you be a “cool” person if your always trying to be someone that you might not really be..?
