This seemingly inescapable cold weather makes styling a good outfit more difficult than it needs to be. You're forced to throw on layer upon layer just so you can brave the frigid temperature of the east coast. That trendy coat you wear to work or school every day is cute, but wearing the same old clothes everyday just aren't cutting it for you anymore. If you find yourself replicating variations of a basic sweater and jeans look every day of the week, then you're probably searching for new pieces to add to your wardrobe. But don't shop yet – before you invest in more winterwear that you probably don't need, upgrade your look with these simple accessories that will level-up any outfit.

1. Silk Scarves

Adding a silk scarf to a plain white tee will instantly elevate your look. For super chic patterns that are under $20, check out Lulu's accessories. Their apparel is praiseworthy and is sure to earn you tons of compliments!

2. Cat Eye Sunglasses

At just over $25, you can snag these insanely stylish sunnies that will go with any outfit. When searching for on-trend eye wear, be sure to peruse Princess Polly to find some affordable accessories. Their site is constantly adding the most coveted trends for great deals.

3. Pointy Toe Shoes

Home of fashion-forward and budget-friendly looks, Nasty Gal is your destination for statement pieces. There is no shortage of amazing shoes on their site, and they carry plenty of options that will be fitting for any occasion.

4. Layered Necklaces

When you wear these layered pendant necklaces, no one will be able to tell that you spent less than $10 on them! For on-trend jewelry that costs about the same price as your Starbuck's latte, head to your local Forever 21.

5. Sleek Satchels

For classic bags that never go out of style, check out Charming Charlie's. Their highly extensive collection offers accessories in any color or hue that you could possibly imagine. But that's not even the best part – most of their merch (especially bags and purses) are under $50 so you can walk out of the store with a luxury grade satchel on your arm.

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.
