"Norts" are a must.

While these may or may not go with your personal style, they can be useful to have around. I know I kept reaching for these items all year.

1. A white t-shirt

It goes with literally everything. Wearing "norts, " grab a white t-shirt. Trying to find a shirt to wear with that statement necklace you just bought? What about all your patterned pants and detailed jackets? You don't want to distract from your style, sometimes all you need is a white t-shirt to complete the outfit.

2. Ripped jeans

"Hey I didn't really try today, but I did." Cute. Comfortable. What's not to love.

3. Athletic shorts

Sometimes you just can't worry about your style. "Norts" (aka Nike shorts) have taken over the scene, but any athletic shorts will do. They're the most comfortable thing to wear while trying to stay cool in your warm dorm building or running to the gym. Are you even wearing pants? The world may never know.

4. Flannel shirt

These are especially convenient in transition seasons or in climates that can't make up their minds. It looks just as cute tied around your waist as it does on. Of course it's a tailgate staple and the perfect way to stay comfortable when the weather is a little funky.

5. Oversized sweatshirt/sweater

I don't even think this one really needs an explanation, if you have one you know why it's on this list. If you don't know just buy one. So. Comfortable.

6. Leggings

There's a reason everyone wears them, real pants are too much of a challenge. Plus, who really wants to wear stiff, tight jeans when they're sitting in a lecture hall all day. Might as well be comfortable.

7. A blazer

You never know when you might have a last minute interview, headshot, or networking event. From business casual to full on professional, a blazer is a classic addition to any power outfit.

8. Little black dress

Ok so it does't really have to be little or black, but every girl should have that one dress that could be casual or fancy, and works for almost any occasion. The details don't matter, what's important is that this dress makes you feel good.

9. School apparel

Whether you've collected one of every shirt, or you just have a free shirt from orientation, every girl needs at least one item that represents their school. You never know when you'll end up at a game, or want to participate in an unspoken campus wide spirit day. Just be prepared.

10. Boots

The type of boots you have may depend on where you live, or what you like to do. Rain boots, hiking boots, snow boots, combat boots, and knee high leather (or faux leather) boots are all good choices. Just keep the local climate and recreational activities in mind when packing your shoes

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
