10 Trends You Never Fail To Find Among Millennials In 2016

1. White high-top Converse

Let’s be honest, they’re not white anymore and you don’t plan on washing them anytime soon, yet they’re still your favorite shoes. Your mom never fails to tell you that you have so many nicer shoes every time you wear them, either.

2. Oversized flannels (or any other long-sleeved shirt)

We all went through a stage of wearing everything two sizes to small (even the guys), so I guess it only makes sense to go through a stage where everything is far too large. At least this stage is a lot comfier.

3. Socks and sandals

Oh, it’s 40 degrees out? Let me just put some socks on with my sandals.

4. Stickers covering the entirety of laptops

Redbubble is in luck, someone decided to cover their laptop in stickers and the trend has spiraled out of control.

5. The half bun and half ponytail

Remember when your mom used to put your hair in a half ponytail in elementary school and you hated it? Leave it to us to give it a try in our 20s and love it.

6. Water bottles

Everyone on college campuses have a water bottle in their hand. Everyone. We have to stay hydrated, am I right?

7. Extremely plain dresses

At least they’re easy to dress up with a nice statement necklace or scarf.

8. Leggings

We could care less what our parents say, leggings are pants. Leggings make getting dressed in the morning that much easier, not to mention they go with just about everything.

9. Large glasses

If you wear glasses, they’re more than likely quite large. Speaking as someone who is writing this with glasses on their face, it’s helpful having so much “eye wiggle room.” The celebrities love them too!

10. Crocs

As much as it pains me to say, they’re making a comeback. Even though I attend a very small college, I see them far more often than I wish. Even though they were my favorite shoe back in the fourth grade, I was more than glad to see them go.

Some of these trends we will hold onto until it will be far from socially acceptable to keep them around. Others, we can’t wait to see go. What will be next? Fanny packs? Oh wait, those are a popular trend on Spring Break…

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
