Before A&M, I stuck with brands common in my area, it wasn't until I came here that I realized I was living under a rock.

10 Clothing Brands I Didn't Know Existed Until Going To A&M

.

1. Kendra Scott

This jewelry line caught my eye because every girl I would encounter was wearing a Drusy necklace. The Drusy necklace that caught my eye was hot pick stone, from that moment on, I knew I had to get one of my own.

2. Tory Burch

Cute little sandals on every girl's feet. I've seen a range from black to nude to white. Never would I have imagined this was a brand, nevertheless a brand as big as it is.

Tory Burch

3. Birkenstocks

Also known as Birks. Not a huge fan, but I did hear that they are comfortable and can be worn with or without socks. There's lots of debate between which is better Birkenstocks or Chacos. Which brings me to....

Birkenstocks

4. Chacos

Also not a huge fan. BUT they do have a strap so your feet as safe inside this shoe. I've also heard they can be water shoes? The more you know.

Chacos

5. Comfort Colors

First of all, all of the previously stated brands are HUGE in sororities, especially comfort colors. So you could only imagine how shocked all my sisters were when I asked what comfort colors were??

6. Lululemon

Yes, I had never heard of Lululemons before 2017. I kept seeing girls wearing super cute leggings and sports bras and when I'd ask them where they had gotten them, they'd answer by simply saying, "Lulus!" I kept asking myself how Lulu knew so many people...

7. Patagonia

Their sweaters are super soft let me tell you. When someone first mentioned Patagonia to me I was like "Pata-who??" There's that.

8. Yeti

These water bottles keep your water cold for such a long time AND you're reducing plastic so you're saving the environment. They come in super cute colors too. 10/10 approve.

9. Vineyard Vines

I saw the logo everywhere and it's a cute whale!

10. Not a brand, but monogram everything

Car decals, bookbags, shirts, hats, wallets, You name it, it's monogrammed. I'm surprised shoelaces haven't been monogrammed yet. It's always first name initial, last name initial, THEN middle name initial. Talk about confusion = me.


I feel like I'm ten years older than I actually am because I had never heard of these brands. I came to College Station and was in shock and found myself asking everyone around me where these brands came from. I did indeed grow up under a rock. Needless to say, I've been cultured. I own about half of the items on this list. I don't think I could ever own Birkenstocks or Chacos. Don't get me wrong, they're cute but not my preferred shoe selection. I've attached links to each of these brands website if you find yourself wanting to splurge a bit or like me have no idea what some of these brands are.

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.

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.
