Some girls like to go all the way in when choosing an outfit. They check the latest trends online to figure out what to buy and wear for the next couple of months. Me on the other hand? I like to buy staple pieces. Things I can mix and match, not only today, but in 20 years too.

I like the fact that I can open my closet and pick anything and everything looks nice when mixed together.

Oh, the magic of basics!

A couple of staple pieces and one or two cool items to give a little extra touch to the outfit, and I'm good to go.

Here is my must-have list of basic items:

1. Plain white/black tees

You should have plain tees in as many colors as possible, but black and white are a must!

2. Striped tee

They add a little twist to plain tees, and they look extremely cute when you personalize them with pins. Have fun with it!

3. Jean jacket

I LOVE jean jackets. They make a dress look more casual, a plain tee look cooler and they look amazing when you tie them around you waist.

Ripped, with pins, cropped, dark or light. Jean jackets are the way to go.

4. Black blazer

If you're looking for a piece to make your day-outfit seem more like a night-out-outfit, you need a black blazer. They make any outfit look fancier and it's always good to have one in your closet in case you have a last-minute presentation or interview.

5. Black leggings

Leggings ARE pants. Don't try to argue with me because I won't change my mind. They are more comfortable, look better on your body and match any type of shoe.

I recommend getting a couple of black ones just because you can mix them with any shirt or jacket easier.

6. Go-to jeans

No explanation needed here. Name someone you know who doesn't own at least one pair of jeans, I'll wait...

7. White sneakers

White sneakers have the capacity of pulling a whole outfit together. They make you look cute in a I-didn't-even-try type of way.

8. Ballet flats

Ballet flats are the type of shoe that makes you look so girly and cute, but simple at the same time. Plus, they are super comfortable and look good with jeans, skirts, dresses, fancy pants, shorts...

9. Belt

A good belt is a must have. But a cute one? It can be the perfect twist for the perfect outfit.

Get at least one and thank me later.

10. Black dress

Need to go out but don't have time to figure out your outfit? Little black dress!

Mix these and add a cool jacket or purse and you got yourself a cool outfit.

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.

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.
