How To Wear The College Hoodie

You see them everywhere and on everyone. "Colby" printed (or stitched) across the front in big bold letters that make you wonder who or what or where is "Colby." Yes, I'm talking about the college sweatshirt. SURE, the common jeans and hoodie look will never go out of style (yes, I'm talking to you Mark Zuckerberg.) However, let's be real guys, there are many other ways to spruce up the hoodie during this fall season. Here are a couple of tips:

1. Baggier Hoodies

While a clean, well fitting hoodie will always do the job, it is never a bad idea to go for the size up, in the college bookstore. Why? Because you can literally wear anything under it (or nothing if you're that ambitious.) A baggier hoodie is essentially a hooded blanket that can keep you warm during the colder months, while also being a solid style choice. Additionally, you may never know what wonders a baggy hoodie could afford you (such as hide those extra five to 15 pounds you put on in the winter.)


2. Hoodie Over Collared Shirt

Newsflash! Yes, you can wear a collared shirt under a sweatshirt. Once again, a perfect layering option for the fall and winter months. This is also great for those casual/classy situations because, in a pinch, you can easily take off the hoodie and rock your collared shirt, or vice versa. Make sure that the collar is visible (which is typically easier with a larger hoodie) and feel free to roll the sleeves up and expose those cuffs. Match a flannel or oxford shirt with a nice grey or blue Colby hoodie. You will be both warm and fresh as the fall months roll around.

3. Hoodie Under Blazer

While this style choice is not for the faint of heart, it is most definitely a good look. More and more people are rocking casual blazers, so why not give it a shot? Dust off that old blazer that your parents made you pack away, and throw a Colby hoodie under it. From David Beckham, to John Hamm, you will be in good company with this combo.


4. Hoodie Under Peacoat

While the peacoat is a much more traditional outerwear style, they have most definitely made their way back into the wardrobes of many-a-stylish men. While the Navy classic may not be in your repertoire just yet, it should be. Guys, just make the investment. Trust me, you'll be glad you did. Throw your Colby hoodie underneath your peacoat on those winter mornings, and roll into class prepared to face the elements and show love for your school.

While college style choices may seem like playing Russian Roulette with your social ventures, these four ways to mix up your fall/winter wardrobe are sure to keep you on your game. Cheers!

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.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
