2017 has marked a new era for British Vogue as they welcomed their new Editor-in-Chief, Edward Enninful. Becoming the successor to Alexandra Shulman is truly inspirational, due to the fact that he is not only the first black editor-in-chief but also that he is the first male in the fashion magazine's history! Enninful possesses a background in fashion styling and design instead of journalism which shocked many applicants.

Enninful's career began with his position as the fashion director of i-D magazine at the young age of 18...talk about talent! Through his position as fashion director, he was able to help fuel the grunge movement during the early 1990's adding to his personal trademark.

Edward Enninful was confirmed as the new editor-in-chief of British Vogue in April, 2017 and started August 1st. He appointed a new team of contributing editors and a new fashion director for British Vogue, adding to this new era. He provides a greater social media presence than the previous editor-in-chief and is a great influencer for various communities of fashion. Edward is hoping to bring the magazine to newer digital and print heights. I can't wait to see the trendy and chic changes he brings to this era of British Vogue!

Edward Enninful received the OBE (Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) honor in 2016 from Queen Elizabeth II for his contributions to the fashion industry.

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.
