One of the most popular forms of creative expression in our generation is through fashion. Street style is favored amongst millennials as the pieces are casual and usually thrifted, yet still have the ability to portray nostalgia and personal style all in one.

We see a lot more of street style fashions on the runway as its popularity is emerging into the high fashion realm of the industry. Here is a guide showing popular street style trends that you can use as a base to express yourself with the rest of the millennials!

1. Cropped Ruffle Denim

Think of fashion as an art form and street style as a method of art. Street style has many principles to the garments just as art does. In this case, the principle of this garment is movement, which is shown through the ruffle.

2. Clear Heel

This clear heel adds an incredibly modern touch to any look and will leave your legs looking long for days.

3. Political Graphic Tees

Fashion has become political, which can be a good or a bad thing depending on how you perceive it. Since street style is all about expressing yourself, you will find that it is also used to spread awareness on worldly issues. This graphic tee conveys the femme movement, a movement where working women encourage other women to feel empowered by their success.

4. Tear-away Track Pants

Street style is very fluid so you can combine comfort with dressy or business with vintage, and somehow it just works.

5. Velvet Puffy Jacket

Velvet is all the hype, as it can be used interchangeably with tops, dresses, pants and more. Velvet is now seen paired with nearly anything from denim to a graphic tee, so don't be afraid to branch out of your comfort zone with this one.

6. Layering Fishnet Top

Fishnets give an edge to any look, you can wear them as socks, showing behind your ripped jeans, or even under a graphic tee to really spice up a simple look.

7. Bleached Denim Shorts

Street style is all about the distressed look. Bleached and distressed shorts, shirts, etc. can easily be thrifted and done on your own so your garments can have their own story.

8. Bold Pattern Sets

Bold patterns and wide legs give off a nostalgic 70s vibe that can be widely seen throughout the city streets.

9. Cute Crossbody Bag

Accessories aren't particularly popular amongst street style unless it's something small, such as this heart cross body bag.

10. Cropped Hoodie

Some influencers known for their iconic street style, such as Rihanna, have collaborated with popular brands such as Puma to release their own lines. Rihanna's line, Fenty, and Kanye West's line, Yeezy, are very popular in street style looks.

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.
