While attending Indiana University, there are many clothing trends that just seem to be more noticeable than others. While I know everyone has their own opinion, these are the uber-popular trends that I can not wait to see die down, but possibly never will. They are the most basic.

1. Adidas Sneakers

I wish I had a dollar for every time I have seen a girl wearing these on campus. They may be easy to pair with virtually any outfit but they are so unoriginal.


2. Monogram Rain Jackets:

From Greek organizations to clubs, these jackets pop up everywhere on any slightly rainy day. While they may be very popular, I find they lack the element of style.

3. Leggings:

One day I woke up and the legging trend was everywhere and to this day has not been touched. Leggings really are not stylish at all so why do college students love them so much? Maybe, it is just comfortability.

4. "Norts" AKA Nike Shorts

Great for the gym, but not sure why people feel the need to wear sportswear to class. To some, it may seem sporty chic but other times it comes across as just lazy.


5. Kilroy's T-Shirts

If I had a dollar for every time I saw some form of Kilroy's spirit wear I would be loaded. If you did not go to IU you might even think Kilroy's was a sports team of some sort. While they are great for making and keeping memories I would not be caught wearing one of these unless I was going to bed.

6. Spirit Jerseys

Everyone and their mother seems to have some sort of spirit jersey in their closet. They may boast a vacation name, a college alma mater or their own greek letters but the point is they are seen so often. I am not sure why because they are so baggy and do not seem to be super aesthetically pleasing but that's OK, great loungewear for the daytime...

The college experience comes with traditions but some traditions especially related to college apparel are just a tad bit overdone. Why not be different and try something from your closet that other people do not have, you may love it.

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.
