2017 Must-Try Summer Trends
Girl In Betsey

Summer is by far my favorite time of the year, and I am a huge fashion fanatic, so I have a lot of fashion inspiration during this time. There's an endless amount of different options and trends you can put together with Summer clothing that just wouldn't work or be appropriate in the Winter. While I don't have a label on my style, I do have a lot of trends that I seem to stick to, like bohemian. But Summer is the time to reach outside the box when it comes to fashion. Wear a styes of color that you usually wouldn't during another time of year, Here are a few of the Summer trends I'm so excited to wear out this season!

1. Stripes

One of my favorite clothing styles are stripes. I feel as if they are extremely flattering and just pleasing to the eye. If given the choice between a plain or striped tee, I always choose stripes. You could wear black and white stripes with another statement color, or colored stripes with black and white. The options are endless! People have also started to pair stripes on stripes, and if you can pull it off, I'm all here for it.

2. Gingham

One of my favorite patterns at the moment is gingham. I've had a few pieces of clothing in this style before, but recently I've seen it become a huge fashion trend. I'm not complaining though, because I think it is so incredibly cute and it's a perfect go-to Summer look! Gingham dresses are my current obsession and I've been on the hunt to find yellow shorts in the pattern. Fingers crossed!

3. Demin Jackets

Jackets may seem like a winter piece, but never forget that Summer nights tend to get a little chilly. A perfect solution to this is a denim jacket! I picked up my jean jacket that I am absolutely obsessed with at Marshall's early this year, and I throw it together with everything I wear. Mine has patches on it and I love that, but I'm also thinking about putting some cute pins on it. (A men's jean jacket also works because they'll have a loose fit which is trendy and comfortable!)

4. Pearl Necklaces

Everyone needs a little something to add to an outfit, and a trendy accessory is a simple pearl necklace. They can make any outfit look more feminine and classy! While I prefer the regular kind, many people have been wearing them as chokers which also looks adorable! They can really make an outfit look more put together.

6. Off The Shoulder Dresses

Lastly, I've seen a wave of popularity with off the shoulder dresses. Now in many colors and styles, they are extremely flattering and accentuate all the right places. My personal favorite way to wear these is maxi style because it makes the dress look classier and can be dressed up or down. This is a must have for the Summer!

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.
