Early 2000s Clothing Trends That We Are All Still Mourning

Aeropostale Polos:

Ahh, the beloved Aeropostale polo. Embellished with a little butterfly, these were the epitome of cool. They were versatile because they came in every color imaginable (bonus points for layering them).


Skorts:

Skorts were the staple of the early 2000s, because a regular skirt was just a little bit too slutty for Mom.


Ponchos:

The classic crocheted poncho was another early 2000s look that killed the game. If you were lucky enough to have a Limited Too poncho you were probably the coolest girl in school, and as for the rest of us…Grandma’s homemade poncho will have to do.


Zip-Off Pants:

These were the most versatile garments to ever be invented. Picture this: It’s a very chilly morning and you need pants, but then it warms up throughout the day and BAM! Just zip those bad boys off and you have a nice pair of shorts.

Popcorn Shirts:

I never was sure when there would be a time that anyone would need an expandable shirt. Maybe when you go on vacation and you have a limited space to pack? Popcorn shirts were made out of the most questionable material, yet they were still so popular for some reason.


Gauchos:

Gauchos may have been the best early 2000s trend. They were so flowy and comfortable and who didn’t look good in cotton shin-length pants?


Zigzag Headbands:

These headbands were so awful, yet they found their way into everyone’s bathrooms. They had razor sharp teeth that pierced your scalp, but hey, beauty is pain.


Anything Cheetah Print:

Once The Cheetah Girls hit the Disney Channel, everyone had to spice up their wardrobes. Cheetah print was everywhere, and don’t try to lie, you totally wanted the matching cheetah sweatsuits they wore in their first movie.


Scarf Belts:

They didn’t hold up your Hollister jeans, and were strictly for fashion purposes. The more sparkles and glitter, the better.

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.
