A Sampling Of the Best Gwen Stefani Music Videos
YouTube

It seems lately I have been getting lost in the black hole that is YouTube videos, and my particular weapon of choice seems to be music videos. More specifically, Gwen Stefani music videos. Now I know everybody is familiar with the infamous "Hollaback Girl" song and music video, Gwen as a pseudo-marching band conductor in a ripped white tank top and cargo shorts, iconic. However, the amount of under-appreciated and seemingly forgotten Gwen Stefani music videos seems to me too astounding in the modern day to not bring here. So, here are the best Gwen Stefani music videos. And yes No Doubt will be briefly included in this list even though it is a band and not Gwen as a solo act.

1. Rich Girl - Gwen Stefani ft. Eve

2. Simple Kind of Life - No Doubt

This video has everything, Gwen's glorious pink hair days, iconic red lipstick, out-of-this-world outfits, and interwoven wedding themes. Simply amazing.

As Gwen sings about a yearning for a "simple kind of life" where she "could be a wife" she's seen hanging around different male members of the band at different points in time and also interwoven into these hangouts she is seen running around with crazy curled hair in a wedding dress.

Yes, it seems like a lot to take in but it's just great. More than anything my favorite outfit worn in the whole music video is about...one minute and five seconds in. Gwen is wearing a sparkly purple tank top with purple gaucho/skirt pants (so 1999) with pink, heeled leather go-go boots and her pink hair and red lipsticks.

I mean it truly cannot get any better than that. In the end though, as Gwen stands in her wedding dress and all the male members of the band beckon to her in their tuxes she picks up a baby that's right next to her and walks away. Women power. She realizes she can have that simple kind of life without the help of a man, good for you Gwen.

3. Cool - Gwen Stefani

4. What You Waiting For? - Gwen Stefani

A few honorable mentions:

"Just A Girl" - No Doubt

"The Sweet Escape" - Gwen Stefani ft. Akon

"Wind It Up" - Gwen Stefani

So, the next time you find yourself on YouTube I hope from the depths of my heart you check out these seemingly forgotten gems of Gwen Stefani music videos.

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.

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
