Yes, one of fashion's biggest nights occurs every 1st Monday of May. If you are not sure what the Met Gala is, I'll break it down in simple terms. The Met Gala is a fundraiser event that raises money for the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A bunch of A-list celebrities are invited by Vogue's very own Anna Wintour for a dinner and show but are expected to show up in their best attire.

This year's theme is camp. It's not a style that is very popular in the mainstream culture but when it comes to queer culture, it is extremely influential as it stems from the ball culture scene and black drag queens in New York. It is between the thin line of unconventional and glamour. Here are some of my favorite looks of the night.

Harry Styles

From being one of the youngest co-chair hosts in the history of the gala, he really turned looks with this gender-bending look.

Lupita Nyong'o

Lupita really took camp and defined it with this look

Ezra Miller

From the makeup to the outfit, it brings fashion to a whole other level.

Zendaya

Zendaya took it back to her Disney years but interpreted it into a different way.

Jared Leto

I guess this look is AHEAD of it's time.

Ciara

The hair completes this look and goes well with the green feathery look.

Billy Porter

Billy looks like an Egyptian god in this all gold look.

Kacey Musgraves

The princess of country brought Barbie to life.

Darren Criss

Darren never disappoints with his looks and he did not disappoint this time either.

Lady Gaga

The queen of night and the most talked about celeb of the gala. Gaga turned it out and performed a whole show with her 4 different looks on the carpet.

Camp can be interpreted in multiple different ways and these are just some of the looks that I really thought embodied the style.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

There have been many lessons learned.

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.
