9 Things That Are Irrelevantly Popular
Mackenzie Webb

Ever seen something, heard something, or even done something that you have no idea why it has any relevance to anyone? Well, I have. This article is dedicated to those random things that are incredibly popular throughout our society today for no reason at all. We all know some of the things I'm talking about, and I'm sure everyone is guilty of at least one of these things. You may be thinking well if they're irrelevant, then how did it get so popular in the first place? In all honesty, I could not answer that question for you except to say that trends spread quick.

1. Crocs

Okay okay, I know they're "so comfortable" and "versatile", but really? Crocs, I mean have you seen them?

2. Oversized T-shirts with Nike Shorts

I myself along with half of my college campus am guilty of this trend. It may not be cute, but boy is it comfy.

3. LipSense

I guess it's the new trend to sell on Facebook, but who wants lipstick that stays for days.

4. Gray Dad New Balance Shoes

No, these are not cute. Don't wear them you look like a dad.

5. Light Up Tennis Shoes

Okay you're cool your shoes light up. What are you going to do if you step in a puddle? Or the battery dies? Now you just have regular shoes.

6. (Oversized) True Grit Jackets

Yes, the overly fluffy jackets that everyone is raving over. And yes I do indeed have one of these and I absolutely love it, but it swallows me whole as it does most people.

7. McDonalds

Who eats here unless you're broke or drunk at 1 am?

8. Willingly Eating Gluten Free

I myself have to eat gluten free, and I absolutely hate it, therefore I don't know why anyone would eat GF by choice. But hey, props to you!

9. Heely's

Yes, they're convenient and make getting around quicker, but once again they're not cute and should not be worn anywhere outside your house.

I know many people may not agree with some of the things on this list, or maybe many of you will be guilty of some of them. And that's fine if you don't agree, because we all have different opinions. But maybe if you own something on this list you'll think twice about it, and really decide if it's relevant for a good reason, or for no reason at all.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
