The second Melania Trump stepped on to the political circuit, the general public rewarded her by using words like classy and elegant to describe her style, much like Jackie Kennedy. However, there is a growing list of designers that won’t dress her simply because they don’t agree with President Trump's policies. These designers include: Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Christian Siriano, Rebecca Minkoff, Dolce & Gabbana, Calvin Klein, and Rag and Bone.

However, Tom unlike other designers, doesn’t want to dress Melania Trump because his clothes are very expensive and made in Italy and that isn’t representative of what the First Lady should be broadcasting because all American people should have access to them. He has also said this would be the case even if Hillary would have become president (The Cut).

However, the list of designers that will dress Melania is growing as well, such as Calvin Klein and Rag and Bone.

Stefano Gabbana himself has Instagramed a photo of the first lady hash tagging it with DG women (The Cut).

Head designers for Calvin Klein state that of course; they are an American brand that will dress no matter the political party (The Cut).

Marcus Wainwrite says if we are going to get on board with this idea of inclusiveness and "Making America Great Again," then American fashion should support. This is something that should come before personal political beliefs.

And for my favorite answer from Tommy Hilfiger…

"I think Melania is a very beautiful woman and I think any designer should be proud to dress her. Ivanka is equally as beautiful and smart, although she wears her own clothes," he told WWD. "I don’t think people should become political about it. Everyone was very happy to dress Michelle [Obama] as well. I think they look great in the clothes. You’re not gonna get much more beautiful than Ivanka or Melania." (The Cut)

Here are some of my favorite looks from the First Lady in designers that help bring out her beauty and grace.

1.

This floral jacket is approximately $51K and designed by Dolce Gabbana. She wore this to accompany her husband in Sicily, Italy.

2.

All black Stella McCartney with gold accessories, a gold belt by YSL (now sold out because of the recent outing), and Christian Louboutin pumps. The outfit was worn to meet King Salaman in Saudi Arabia.

3.

Her inauguration outfit was the look where the general public said she emulated Jackie Kennedy. She was dressed in a Ralph Lauren blue dress and matching coat, accompanied with blue heels.

4.

This floor- length, floral dress was yet again designed by Dolce Gabbana, and worn when accompanying her husband for political meetings around Italy.

5.

Reema Acra floor-length purple gown with jeweled collar worn in Saudi Arabia. Also, she decided to forgo the traditional headscarf which I applaud her for.

6.

Masion Ullens, a Belgian designer, dressed her in a leather ensemble to meet Queen Fabiola at Children’s Hospital.

7.

Burberry Trench coat a classic piece that Melania wore to meet Wounded Vets in Maryland.

8.

Valentino Red dress worn to welcome President Xi Jinping of China. In China, red is a color of good luck.

9.

Melania’s official portrait was taken in a black Dolce and Gabbana jacket.

10.

Her Inauguration Ball dress was co-designed by herself with the help of Herve Dierre (former creative director of Carolina Herrera). This is one of my most favorite looks, it's classic with it’s head-to-toe white but has a republican flare with the red bow. She is truly one heck of a FLOTUS!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
