The year is 2006. You're taking the latest Tiger beat quiz to see if you're more of a Gabriella or a Sharpay while vigorously applying your favorite Cherry Coke Lipsmacker. Little do you know that in twelve short years, some of your favorite Limited Too outfits would have their own feature in Vogue. But your super low-rise jeans? You can leave them in the dumpster. Lizzie McGuire may have gotten a few things right, but she was no fashion goddess. So as a quick guide: the first five items on this list? Break them out, strut your stuff, because they are BACK! But the next five? Leave them in your closet. Forever. Please.

1. Chokers

I can't breathe, I can't breathe. Literally.

2. Platform shoes

Stilts, but make it fashion.

3. Halter tops

If Britney wears it, then we all have to.

4. Colored lenses

You can't see the haters if your only view is pink! I'll see myself out now.

5. Tube tops

Let's remove all straps, it's not like they had a purpose or anything.

6. Frosted lipgloss

No I don't have hypothermia, why do you ask?

7. Zebra highlights

I'm so sorry Kelly, I'm so so sorry.

8. Trucker hats

It's not, Paris, it's really not.

9. Asymmetrical skirts

What are you talking about? I want all of my clothes to look like they got caught in a shredder!

10. Bedazzled jeans

What genius thought it would be comfortable to sit on plastic gems all day?

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.

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.
