What To Consider When Picking Out An Outfit In College

College is the place of freedom and few responsibilities. You have the flexibility to be who you are and define yourself they way you’ve always truly wanted to be expressed. Therefore, when you wake up in the morning, the first decision most people make is the following: What on earth should I wear today?

The first impact on your decision should be the weather. Now, if you have an early class, it will most likely be fairly cold, but then midday it could be 85 degrees! So, it’s best to be prepared.

Another influence that helps decide what to wear is my motivation. Do I want to impress all my classmates and strut my stuff all over campus? Or do I want to stay comfortable and be able to take a nap after class?

Not only does the indecisive weather make it awfully difficult to plan a decent outfit, but some days, I have the motivation of a kindergartener and I don't want to wear anything but my pajamas!

Aside from the weather, and how I feel that day, other influences on my outfit are how many classes I have and the different people in my classes! If I have three classes that day and then none the next, I might as well look my best if I’m going to see my friends and save my lazy outfit for the day when no one sees me!

We also can all agree that if there’s a cute boy in one of our classes, you bet that we’ll dress to impress despite any kind of weather or lack of motivation!

Other than the struggles, fall is the best time for cute outfits and it gets easier to find a fast outfit when it’s always cold out because then you just choose from five different giant sweaters and you’re ready to go!

These are my worst struggles while getting ready in the morning; what are some of yours?

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.

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.
