What's the Trend??

      Blue Grass Baptist is a VERY small school, so trends of all sorts go on. Trends around here are physical appearances, such as hair styles and clothes, and social media.


Physical appearances

     Due to our ridiculous dress code rules at our school, clothing trends cannot really happen. Our dress code is not as bad as other private schools, but all we students hate it.  We have to wear a polo or a button down with khakis, navy pants, or a few other pant colors.  One clothing trend that is going on right now is sweaters.  Both guys and girls have this trend going on now.  There is also a shoe trend right now.  The trend is Sperry’s and Vans.  
      There are also the “how you look” trends like hair and make-up.  The hair trends are straightening, curling, and scrunching.  I have no idea what these styles are, but thanks to the wonderful group of girls I talked to, they say these are the trends right now.  Close to the end of last school year, the straight bangs were the trend.  The guy trend at the moment is spiking your hair in certain ways. Here are some examples: the whole top is spiked, the front is spiked (aka “the bieber”), and spiked facing the side.  There are also the make-up trends.  For your eyes there are the cat eyes.  And supposedly there is the nude lip gloss trend. 

Social Media

     We can never forget about the social media aspect of trending.  There are social media sights coming out left and right and up and down for us citizens. The three biggest social media sites are Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

     Facebook was the biggest and most popular trend for the longest time.  It’s still popular among some, but twitter is taking over rapidly.  Facebook is designed to where you add friends that you don’t even know… but really you make a status about anything you want, like or comment on statuses or pictures, or add pictures. 

      Twitter is the biggest social trend right now.  You can tweet about anything you want, add pictures, follow people, and one major difference than Facebook.  The difference is that you can retweet or people’s tweets.  This shows up on other people’s time line allowing more entertainment (for the lack of a better word). 

     Instagram’s idea is sharing photos of your daily life.  You can add captions and tag people in the photo.  You can also comment on the photos uploaded and tag people in those comments.   

     I probably have made these social sites look so boring, but they really are great and addicting. Studies have come and said that social media sights are more addicting than drugs.  So go make an account now!!!!
