Athleisure: The Gift That Keeps on Giving
Teen Vogue

As soon as the athleisure scene hit full force, fashion girls everywhere rejoiced. A welcome break from the often uncomfortable trends that hit the mainstream each season, a modern and updated twist on athletic wear has become a priority for designers and it girls across the map. Athletic wear is perhaps one of the most practical fashion obsessions in a while, so it is no surprise that it has lasted. It’s as relevant as ever, with no rush to slow down anytime soon.

Nike, Adidas and Lululemon are not the only brands to master the athleisure movement. Free People, Topshop and Tory Burch are just a few of the name brands throwing their hats into the ring and upping their athletic game. Cutting edge athletic wear is everywhere, with price points at various levels making it accessible and affordable for those intrigued—regardless of their budget.

Another benefit to the beloved trend is the versatility that stylish athletic wear provides. For those who consider themselves to have more of a minimalistic personal style, athleisure can easily be worked into an everyday outfit with joggers and sheer panel leggings or warm up jackets for a more retro feel. If your look has more of a classic, feminine flair, a pair of white Puma sneakers is the perfect solution to styling a shirtdress or denim skirt for the season. The elements for athleisure dressing are endless and can add that instant “cool” factor that will take an outfit to the next level.

It’s no surprise that a trend as chic as it is comfortable is stronger than ever after lasting more than a few cycles in the fashion industry. Some believe the intentional gym aesthetic is a little passé, but for those of you who can’t seem to get enough of the athleisure takeover, good news: it’s not going anywhere.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
