The Importance Of American Eagle Outfitters' #WeAllCan Campaign
American Eagle

Ever since I was a teenager, I’ve worn American Eagle’s jeans to death. And to this day, I still cannot find ones that I love more. But I never really took the time to get to know the company itself, and as I discovered their values and what they stood for, I was far from disappointed.

The #We All Can Campaign is designed to celebrate the power of millennials—and just how awesome they really are. Stars such as YouTuber/singer Troye Sivan, actress Hailee Steinfeld, and Blackish star Yara Shahidi have all taken part in the campaign. American Eagle’s Instagram account is flooded with pictures of each star and their empowering messages for the campaign. My personal favorite is Troye Sivan’s, which is “I Can Love Anyone.” Love is a beautiful, wonderful thing to experience, and I am inspired and thankful that both Troye and American Eagle are using their platform to encourage others to never be ashamed of who they love. According to American Eagle’s global brand president, Chad Kessler, “#WeAllCan is a new brand platform that celebrates Young America's unique voice and individuality. #WeAllCan is an invitation for Young America to follow their passions and share what they can do, be, and create."



American Eagle has also partnered with Rock The Vote as part of the campaign, which features t-shirts and a denim jacket with the phrase “I Can” inside the word American. It’s extremely important for every person, especially youth and young adults that their voice matters, and they are capable of producing positive changes in America. Youth and young adults play a much larger role in America than they may realize—and it is vital that they know they can freely exercise that role.

By showcasing this campaign, American Eagle is emphasizing that we all can achievewhatever we put our minds to, no matter our age, race, or gender.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
