Please Stop This Madness

With the school year knocking at our doors and fall right around corner, the leaves are changing just as fast as a few trends. Ladies, it is time to step it up, clean out that closet, and dump out that makeup bag. From cherry lipstick to sheepskin Ugg boots, it's time to clean up your act. Here are a couple trends you want to leave behind to start your year (and rest of your life) off on the right foot.

1. Monograms

I'm sorry, but did you forget your initials? Such that you needed them stitched on your bag as a reminder? I mean if you did, you have a lot of bigger issues. It'd be cute if a 5-year-old were rocking it on the playground. The shirts should say "for 8 and under." (Age 8 being generous).

2. Hair extensions

NO NO NO NO just stop with the hair extensions ladies for two reasons. One, because they only look good if you curl your hair, and two because you poor boyfriend is getting mixed emotions on whether his girlfriend has long or short hair each time he takes you out. Just stop. I had those things like in eighth grade, which was about six years ago. I left them back in 2009.

3. Ugg boots

Look I understand if you're running to the grocery store, or to class, but please do not go out in those chestnut sheepskin looking things. They used to be a hit about three to four years ago, you were only cool if you had the medium length chestnut boot, but you really out did yourself if you came in strutting the black ones. Improvise and be chic, ladies.


4. North Face

Okay listen, living in Chicago, I live in my North Face burka, but that's pretty much it. Step up to Patagonia, or Lululemon, or Colombia, but it's going south for North Face. Understandable if you have to work it sometimes, but all I'm saying is move over to a better trend.




5. Michael Kors

Michael Kors is offically the triangle swimsuits of handbags and watches. Sad but so true its part of the whole "basic white girl" look. They used to be cool till everyone and their mother, grandmother, and aunt decided to buy them. Hi Tory and Marc.

6. Designed fake nails

NO JUST STOP PLEASE STOP with this! Whatever is on your nail it is not nail art. Good luck trying to justify that bird flying on your nail as art. Just get a nice neutral color and keep it classy. Don't get your cities mascot on your nail; a T-shirt will suffice.


So ladies dump out those drawers and start rearranging your closet its time for a new you. Step out looking good and feeling even better knowing your not wearing last year's trend looking like Amanda Byes when you should really be stepping out looking like Kylie Jenner. The cool thing about trends is that you can alter them and make them your own to add originality to them. Mix it up and keep up with the world of fashion we live in.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.
