Flash from the Past

Being home for the holidays, days can get pretty boring, so I thought why not go through my old photo album. As I was going through these pictures, I was reminded of the old trends that were apart of our lives.

Flash from the Past

Do you ever look back at old photos and cringe at the sight of yourself. You realize your 7th grade "signature look" may not have been as cute as you thought. The early 2000's were a time where Lizzie Mcguire was your fashion icon, and you spent all of your free time on your gameboy. Occasionally, fads from our childhood slip back in style, but other times, these tragic trends are temporary. So let's take a walk down memory lane with some of the best trends from your childhood you may have forgotten about.

Justice

Neons and sequins and tweens, oh my! Looking like a living, walking Bratz Doll was all you ever wanted, and this store was the perfect place to start. You could find the perfect graphic tee while listening to the newest Kidz Bob CD in the background.

Webkinz

Who didn't have a Webkinz? The cute and cuddly stuffed animal doubled as an online game when you entered the code attached to its ankle. The code let you join an online game where you could take care of a virtual pet and play fun games with it. These were the go-to birthday presents for boys and girls. Whether it was playing polar plunge or going gem hunting at the Curio Shop, everyone had fun playing with their Webkinz.

Juicy Couture

Such nostalgic memories come with this brand. A Juicy Couture sweatsuit was the ultimate outfit for any middle school girl, and if you were lucky enough to have one, you wore it everywhere. Some people claim this bedazzled tracksuit is making a comeback, these are false accusations.

Libby Lu

Libby Lu was heaven on earth for any tween girl. It was the closest thing girls could get to Hannah Montana's closet. The "full Libby experience" consisted of getting your hair and makeup done. Usually a twisted up do complimented by hot pink sparkly eyeshadow. And who could forget the thrill of becoming a pop star while you performed a dance routine at the end of the makeover.

KoolAid

We're not talking about the juice, we're talking about the summer of '09 when every single girl colored her hair with red Kool-Aid in hopes of channeling her inner Avril Lavigne. The dye was only supposed to last for only a couple of months, but ended up lasting for much longer than that. This led to some interesting new hairstyles in efforts to hide the color from teachers and avoid that dreaded check mark.

Silly Bands

Silly Bands were all the rage in the 3rd grade. Some kids layered them all the way up to their elbows. It was always a competition to see who had the most bands…until JA made the "no more than three" rule. That dollar sign shaped bracelet was worth anything to my eight year old self.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
