Let's get one thing straight: I love handbags. Not only are they super helpful for carrying my valuables, but they can also be literal works of art. Who hasn't drooled over a Hermès Birkin bag or tried to budget their expenses in order to afford a Chanel Classic Flap with gold hardware? I know I have. Luckily, there are a plethora of affordable designer handbag brands that cater to people like us without sacrificing design. However, everyone always goes with either Micheal Kors, Kate Spade, or Coach. I am absolutely sick and tired of seeing people opt for these brands while completely ignoring dozens of other brands that produce beautiful (and affordable) handbags. Below, I have curated a list of affordable brands you should definitely check out.

1. Mansur Gavriel

Mansur Gavriel is an Italian brand known for its beautiful leather goods and their iconic bucket bag. Mansur Gavriel has a variety of beautiful products for every price point and wallet. I promise you'll find yourself a Mansur Gavriel fanatic after your first purchase from them.

2. Longchamp

Next up on our list is the iconic French brand known as Longchamp. Since 1948, this brand has been creating beautiful handbags that'll please any penny pincher's wallet. Longchamp reminds us that we don't need to dole out thousands in order to attain that chic Parisian style.

3. See by Chloé

Ever wanted a Chloé bag without paying the Chloé price tag? With See by Chloé, you can achieve that French boho-chic look without breaking the bank. See by Chloé produces beautiful handbags as well as super chic ready-to-wear and footwear.

4. Furla

Of course, it is the Italians who make the best hand bags. Furla has been around for 90 years now, making affordable handbags for the whole world to love. Their fun and quirky styles are the perfect addition to any bag lover's collection.

5. Polo Ralph Lauren

While Polo Ralph Lauren is known for its polo shirts and western inspired Ready-to-Wear, they also have a fabulous collection of handbags. Using only the finest materials, Mr. Lauren creates timeless pieces that'll look fabulous with any ensemble.

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.

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.
