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!

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.
