Lime Green Crocs And 14 Other Early 2000s Fashion Trends That Need To Come Back ASAP

Seven-year-old me wearing lime green crocs: "It's called fashion."

The early 2000s was easily a golden era of fashion, at least that's what pre-teen me thought at the time. Looking back at it... not so much. But hey, at least us late-'90s babies weren't "rocking" clothing plastered with emojis and acronyms like "LOL" and "YOLO." Remember the daring looks of Brittany Spears and Justin Timberlake when they pulled off all denim, matching outfits? Or the Disney Channel/fashion icon, Ashley Tisdale and all her infamous red carpet looks? Truly legendary.

Thanks to stores like Urban Outfitters, SOME of these treasured trends are making a miraculous comeback. You can even find them on Amazon! Though we did have some interesting trends, you're lying to yourself if you haven't wished you could flaunt around in a fresh new pair of gauchos again.

1. Low rise jeans paired with chunky belts

Well, you needed something to keep your jeans from falling even lower, so why not a statement belt?


Buy it on Amazon.


2. Layered tank tops

Because why not wear 3 tank tops on top of each other?


Buy them on Amazon.


3. Gauchos

God bless the creator of these magical pants.


Buy them on Amazon.


4. Crocs

Well, duh.


Buy them on Amazon.


5. Livestrong Bracelets

You couldn't catch a single elementary student without at least one of these bad boys on their wrists.


Buy it on Amazon.


6. Headbands with scarf tails

I think I had eight of these at one point in my life. That was clearly my peak.


Buy them on Amazon.


7. Kanye Glasses

Probably the most impractical trend, but that did not make anyone immune to these barred-shades.


Buy them on Amazon.


8. Stylish barrettes

Yes, I do need 12 barrettes for only one piece of hair.


Buy it on Amazon.


9. Jelly sandals

I saw a pair of these in Forever 21 last week and nearly died.


Buy them on Amazon.


10. Silly bands

"I'll give you two dog silly bands for one of your horse silly bands."


Buy them on Amazon.

11. Colorful tracksuits

Remember in "Mean Girls" when the only thing Regina could fit into was her pink tracksuit? I felt that.


Buy it on Amazon.


12. Plaid shorts

I looked like a damn picnic table most of my childhood.


Buy them on Amazon.


13. Skinny sequined scarves

Definitely did not keep you warm, but at least they kept you fashionable.


Buy it on Amazon.


14. Initialed bags

If you didn't have at least 6 bags with your first initial on it, then what were you doing?


Buy it on Amazon.


15. Lip Smackers lip balm

And what better to fill your initialed bag with other than soda-flavored lipgloss?


Buy it on Amazon.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
