The shoes in the picture above are the “Triple S” from Balenciaga, they’re bulky with multiple layers of plastic creating a 2-inch platform and yes, chances are they'll look way to big on you. Dispute all that, they are one of the most popular shoes on the market right now. They’re a must have and that clear because the “Tripe S” are sold out everywhere. But nothing compared to Balenciaga’s Speed Trainers, according to a new survey done by Lyst in partnership with the Business of Fashion, they’re the hottest produced in the world, not hottest shoe product. but this shouldn’t come as a surprise. In the same survey, the Paris based luxury fashion label was named the hottest fashion label in the world, taking the crown from Gucci and knocking then to 2nd.

Lyst does these rankings every quarter, the plat from tracks 4.5 million data points per hour from over 65 million annual consumers, five million products and 12,000 brands. They stated that Balenciaga‘s rise was due to “a new logo and Colette residency kept the brand top of mind, while Demna Gvasalia continues to design products that drive the fashion narrative online.” Additionally, they praised Gucci for being a “consistent performer.”

One of the more impressive shifts from Q2 is Virgil Abloh’s Off-White. Going from 34th place to becoming the third hottest fashion label, stealing the spot that once belonged Kanye West Yeezy’s brand. Abloh represents a new breed of fashion designers who elevate streetwear through high-end production and positioning their brand to appeal to millennials and Gen-Z consumers.

Finishing out their top ten is Vetements, Givenchy, Valentino, and Saint Laurent in their respective 4th,5th 6th and 7th spots. Stone island comes in 8th, and simpler to Off-White, Stone island jumped from 41th to 8, in part to the love shown by everybody favorite certain Canadian fanboy Drake. And closing the list in 9th and 10th spots are Moncler and Raf Simons respectively.

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.

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.
