When we think of the '90s, fashion icons such as Alicia Silverstone, Drew Barrymore, and Courtney Love may come to our minds. These women were the queens of grunge, a look that has made its comeback in fashion today. Our generation should be proud to be '90s natives; it was the calm before the technology storm, the last time life was truly simple. Plagued by my recent nostalgia, I decided to share the revival of the iconic '90s fashion of my youth. Perhaps by breathing new life into the fashion of our youth, we can pay tribute to the era we hail from and indulge in the carefree lifestyle the trends promote. Consider these classic throwback looks that you may see on the streets this spring.

1. Accent braids: These messy braids are popular everywhere, from music festivals to the runway, and are super easy for an everyday bohemian style.

2. Brown and berry lipstick shades: Balance these bold shades with a simple eye, like Kylie. These lips add a sophisticated touch to your look.

3. Choker necklaces: We can all breathe a sigh of relief, because every '90s girl's favorite accessory is back. Chokers add an edgy touch to any outfit and are fun to layer with other jewelry.

4. Crop tops: The skimpy tops we all hate to love. Britney may have done it first, but these tops are back with a new flavor. Paired with a high waistline, the tops show just the right amount of skin and are versatile enough to dress up or down.

5. Denim jacket: A must-have staple in every '90s kid's closet. This jacket is timeless and can be paired with virtually anything for a casual vibe.

6. Doc Martens: This go-to edgy boot is back with vibrant colors and a variety of textures. The shoe is great for any season and is a versatile option for the girl who has too many clothes and not enough closet space (i.e., every girl).

7. Flannels: Another timeless trend, flannels are cozy and cute, and can be styled for any season. The flannel is the trademark of '90s grunge style. Wear it by itself, over a striped or solid top, or tie it around your waist.

8. Floral skater dress: This dress is an effortlessly feminine reminder of our childhood. Wear this youthful piece with a cute cardigan or denim jacket in the fall or summer.

9. Funky buns: The lazy girl's favorite hair style. Wear two, or just tie half of your hair up into one bun for a laid-back look. This hairdo is everywhere on campus and is the perfect messy updo for those pesky 8 a.m.'s.

10. Jelly sandals: If these don't make you nostalgic for the '90s, nothing will. Jellies are back with quirky new colors and styles. Paired with socks or bare feet, these shoes will never fail to add some pep to your step.

11. Overalls: The '90s kids' unofficial uniform. Overalls are a playful and fun style to explore. Cute new washes and endless layering options make these the perfect sunny-day outfit.

12. Scrunchies: Possibly the most beloved hair accessory of the decade, scrunchies have made a huge comeback. They're so uncool that they're ridiculously cool, and we can't get enough of their retro goodness.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
