There once was a time when contours did not exist. When blue eyeshadow and Lip Smackers ruled the land. When teenage girls looked their age and teenage boys did not have swag; they were pimpin'. When everyone was da bomb diggity and no one was basic. A time when phones were indestructible and texting wasn't unlimited. We call this time the early 2000s; the age of terrible fashion. Only the kids who grew up during this time will understand the struggle of these terrible trends.

1. Gauchos Pants

If you are looking for an outfit that screams, "I will be alone forever" then you're looking for gauchos. That being said I had a pair in every color.

2. Flat Caps

It was essential that your flat cap did not match the rest of your outfit.

3. Sweat Suits

Only the cool moms wore these, okay, not the regular moms.

4. Graphic Tees

In case you were wondering this is the proper way to wear a crop top.

5. Bandanas


This style is bandanas B-A-N-D-A-N-A-S. Only the true early 2000-ers will understand.

6. Army pants

Pair these bad boys with some flip flops.

7. Belt Scarves

It's still too soon to talk about this fashion tragedy.

8. Funky Hair

This is not a joke, we actually spent time trying to create these high end hairstyles.

9. Popcorn Shirts

It's so sad that kids today will never know true fashion.

10. Skirts over Jeans

Shout out to all the moms who let their kids go out dressed like this.

11. Dresses over Jeans

Don't have a clean skirt? Thats okay, a dress will serve the same purpose.

12. Colored Sunglasses

Fun fact: these sunglasses did nothing to protect your eyes, they were merely a fashion statement.

13. Layered Shirts

We all did it, and I hate myself every day because of it.

14. Asymmetrical Skirts

It may not look like much, but it's a work of art when you twirl.

15. Silk Tank Tops

Ten points if you wear a silk tank top, 50 points if you can match it with a silk scarf!

So there you have it, the top 15 worst 00s trends. Let it be known that we started the new millennium off at an all time fashion low. Growing up in the early 2000s was an experience. It taught us that things will get better as long as you give it time. Was it a struggle? Yes. Would I do it again? No. Am I proud to have been apart of an era that will never make a comeback? You bet I am and if you don't agree you can just talk to the hand.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
