Trend Alert: Gaps & Freckles
Fashion Gone Rogue

Trends come and go in the fashion world faster than we can seem to blink. Makeup trends are now also picking up speed with new techniques and styles. Recently I have been seeing more than ever on my twitter timeline, Instagram and makeup sites a couple things. I have been noticing that not only is the natural look in but so are freckles and gaps. I am seeing more models with gaps and people trying to put freckles on their face! Seeing these things being valued in the world of fashion I think is bringing a different perspective to freckles and gaps that are making people love the things that make them different.

As a girl with a gap, I am so excited about this movement. With beauty expectations constantly being thrown in our faces as women, I believe that a wide range of different types of women should be represented, so that we understand different types of beauty. When I was younger I was very insecure about the clearly identifiable gap in between my teeth, because it made me look different from everyone else. I desperately wanted perfectly straight teeth that were all together. I spent a lot of time looking at tutorials on youtube trying to figure out an overnight way to squeeze those front teeth together. I even begged my parents for braces, but in the end, I am happy that I did not receive them because my gap gives me personality. My gap is what separates me from a lot of people and it is not a bad thing to have. Talking about this with some people they said, “I do not know how I would look at you without a gap, because it kind of makes you, you.” My gap makes me interesting, and I have learned to love my gap and the beauty that I have been given. The fact that my once insecurity is being embraced by the modeling world, even if it is just a trend for now, is pretty awesome.

I feel the same way about the freckles trend as I do about my gap. Though I do not have freckles myself, I have a lot of friends that talk about how they either love or hate their freckles, and many say that they hate them. I think freckles also gives people personality. I think that people trying to add freckles to their face now, gives people who have freckles the good feeling of knowing that their freckles are real, natural and totally in! With spring and summer I feel that this trend is really going to take off and be a “must have” look. So those of you with freckles out there, do not be afraid to rock them this year, because everyone else is going to try to buy what you already got!

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.
