College is the one time you can dress however you want and no one can judge you

5 College Fashion Trends Analyzed By a Fashion Major

The irony of sitting in a class talking about high fashion while dressed like a homeless person has been beyond a doubt one of the highlights of this semester. So instead of analyzing high fashion I've decided to analyze the fashion of "The College Girl". A look that can be easily mastered by pulling random clothes that don't match out of your drawers.

1. Birkenstocks

These are some of the ugliest shoes, and before college I refused to even think about buying a pair. Somehow I got sucked into the trend and was enlightened with why most every girl owned these. They're extremely comfortable and easy to slip on which makes for a grade A college closet necessity. We aren't looking for cute here; we want something that when we wake up we can just slip it on and walk out the door.


2. Large T-shirts/ Sweatshirts

If you are a girl and don't own an oversized shirt that your dad could probably fit into, then you're missing out. My shirts used to be fitted nicely until I got to college and found the easy nature that large t-shirts bring. You can sleep in them and then get up and just go to class. Again, it's a must have even if it does make you look like you have the figure of a nine year old boy, but it's fine.


3. Leggings/Nike Shorts

These are interchangeable depending on the weather. No one actually wears pants and if you do you're missing out on the glory of a elastic waistband. When that freshman fifteen hits trust me you'll be wanting that extra space that pants don't provide.

4. Scrunchies

This one has recently made a comeback and I can actually say I'm not mad about it. They come in a variety of colors and designs that can lift up your look a little bit with that extra pop of color that is almost effortless. Forget hair ties, why not add something fun to make it look like you at least tried a little bit.


5. The Gameday Look

Honestly there could be a whole article just on this. Gameday is the one day that people really do try and look their best. Ask me why we would want to look our best while scrunched up in stands packed with hundreds of people and I couldn't answer you. It's just what happens. This is when girls will bring out their dresses, cowboy boots, and blue jean skirts. Quite a change from what is originally seen around campus.

Once college is over we will all have to look professional, but for now let's enjoy looking like we just woke up.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
