Do’s and Don’ts for Tailgate Season Attire

Tailgate season is here. Whether you have been watching football since you were in your mother’s womb or you cannot even explain what a touchdown is, this is the season to express your school spirit and style. What's en vogue may vary depending where you are, but showing school spirit can make it a little easier to find that tailgate outfit. Some schools are more formal, others more casual and some just plain spirited. Here are the top 5 Do’s and Don’ts for this tailgate season.

1. Do NOT wear high heels

You might want to catch the eyes of some frat boys, but it will not be done in heels. They’ll watch you stumble your way to the floor if anything. Tailgates are usually casual events on grass. Wear sneakers, boots or sandals. Save yourself from an embarrassing moment and go with flat shoes.

2. Do NOT be the overly spirited one

We understand you are the football team’s number one fan, but please do not get tacky. No need for body paint or crazy outfits. You will end up standing out from everyone, which is nice sometimes, but also chancing that you look ridiculous. Also, tailgates are hours long and so is the game after, you will not be comfortable the whole day in an overly spirited outfit.

3. Do wear your school colors


There’s no better way to represent your team than to wear their colors. You don’t even have to go all out with crazy spirit attire. Wearing your school colors is spirited enough.

4. Do wear sundresses



Dresses are the perfect clothing piece to stay cool and breezy. All you need is a basic color dress, and then accessorize it based on your style. The weather will start getting chilly, so take advantage and bring out all your summer dresses that are hidden in the back of your closet.

5. Do wear shorts and top


You cannot go wrong with the basics. Shorts are super comfortable to move around in. You also won't have to worry about flashing anyone if a wind flows by. Pick a nice fashionable top to match the shorts, make sure the top stands out because it will definitely make or break the outfit.

Most importantly, rock what you wear with confidence! I hope everyone has a fashionably successful tailgate season.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
