Looking back at what we wore 10 years ago is cringeworthy, so why are we so excited about these styles coming back that were popular 20-30 years ago? Whether we want to admit it or not, the fashion trends making their appearances back in to our lives are giving our looks the edge that they needed. Although we are waiting on the shoulder pads and platform heels to make their way back, here are nine trends coming back that we are actually excited about.

1. Denim Jackets


If you're in need of a new fall jacket, you're in luck because the denim jackets are back. It will give any outfit an edgy feel and it looks great over leggings or a t-shirt dress. If you really want to throw it back, you might even want to throw one on over a pair of jeans to really get the denim look.

2. Rompers

This magical ensemble give the look of a dress but the comfort of wearing pants. They were first used by children and referred to as "onesies". Rompers first were made popular in fashion as early as the 1920's. Nearly a century later they are back and more popular than ever.

3. Crop Top


With the recent popularity of crop tops, it is hard to believe that they were ever "out of fashion". Crop tops were popular in the 1940's when they would be worn at outdoor parties and typically were short sleeved and had a collar. Nowadays it is nearly impossible to find a shirt that is long enough to cover

Despite previous belief, these handy things aren't just for your weird uncle who carries trail mix wherever he goes. Fanny packs are coming back in fashion with their trendy patterns. The fanny pack is an easily accessible storage unit that is easier to carry around than a purse.

5. Braless



Say "goodbye" to the basic red lipstick! Make up companies are making it even harder to find your perfect shade with these bright lipstick trends. From hot pink to blood orange to periwinkle purple, the trend of these colorful lips can add some real pep to your look.

7. Topknot Bun


For a hairstyle first made popular in the 1300's by men, the topknot is sure making its comeback. The topknot is an easy, versatile do that can be worn to a gala or after the gym. It is made easy for all hair types and lengths so anyone can wear one.

8. High Waisted Pants


The high waist look is a look to minimize the waistline and accentuate the curves. During the women's rights movement around the 1940's, it was obscene for women to be wearing pants. As pants became more acceptable for women to wear, the high waisted look became a popular cut for women. The look survived through the 1980's but slowly died out by the 1990's until their major recent comeback.

9. Double Braid


Hair braiding can go all the way back in history to the 1300's where they were worn as signs of wealth, age, etc. Although hair braiding has always been a popular and easy hairstyle, the double braid recently made its comeback as a versatile and convenient look.

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.

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.
