The Monogram Necklace

The monogram necklace... It's a huge trend now a days. Girls frolic around parading their monogram (not to be confused with their initials....that's something completely different) hanging from their necks, ears, keys, backpacks and who knows what else. 

What is a monogram you ask? Well for one if you're asking this question you must be an idiot, but since you asked I'll explain. The monogram consists of three letters. The first one is the first letter of your first name, the second (which is usually a little larger than the first and third) is the first letter of your last name and the final letter is the first letter of your middle name. 

Isn't that just your initials? OH NO! Like I stated before, your monogram and your initials are not the same thing. If they were the same thing why would they be named something else? Clearly you need to get your shit together and realize that your monogram is the classier, smarter, hotter, and better at everything sister of the initials. 

So why is the monogram such a huge thing? Can you please stop with all the questions? I'm getting there. 

The monogram used to be cute. You have your baby blanket monogrammed, maybe your backpack in kindergarten was monogrammed, I get it it's adorable. Who decided it was okay to monogram the world? Because if there was a vote I sure missed it. 

I get the practicality of monogramming things. I am guilty of the monogrammed backpack, but only so I know it's mine (because I'm an idiot and misplace everything or accidentally steal something from someone cuz it looks like mine). But please let's keep the monogramming down to only what is necessary. 

Do girls wear their monogram necklaces because they don't want to forget their initials incase someone asks for their full name? Just wondering. 

But then again maybe I'm wrong and monogramming everything is like super cute and I just don't see the appeal. If someone would out of the kindness of their heart care to explain this fashion trend to me it would be greatly appreciated. Please help a girl out because she is clueless.
