My life motto has always been, "When it rains, get wet," but occasionally, it is nice to stay warm and dry when you are heading to class or work ---and it is always good to have options other than an oversized, monogramed sorority rain jacket! 

So, without further ado, here are your rainy day essentials:

1. Hairstyles

Side buns


Braided Messy Buns


Fishtail braids


Half-up hairstyles


Beanies

 


2. Products

Granier Fructis Anti-Humidity Hairspray ($4.29)
I live and die by this stuff, not to mention it doubles as perfume!


Moroccan Oil Frizz Control ($33.60).
This will tame those crazy fly-aways.


Cricket Friction-Free Tourmaline Mini Flat Iron ($20).
Perfect for quick fixes!



3. Boots

L.L. Bean Boots ($139). These versatile boots are worth every penny and last a lifetime. Just be sure to order half a size down!



Hunter rain boots ($140). 
You can buy these classics in almost any color and any height! Perfect for showing off your personality or adding a pop of color to a neutral outfit.



4. Outerwear

The options are endless! Let your personality show with your raincoat. You can wear anything from bold, bright and trendy to neutral, light and sporty -- take your pick!

   



5. Bags

Long champ bags ($95-$125). Rain or shine, these bags work for any occasion and come in an array of sizes and colors.

  


North Face Borealis Backpack ($89). 
Water-resistant, durable, versatile and perfect for carrying those heavy books to and from school!



6. Umbrellas

How could anyone leave umbrellas out of a rainy day survival kit? These classics are a great way to stay dry from head to toe, and they are really fun to carry.

  


Now, go conquer that rain with style!

Oh Pinterest, where would be without your trendy, inspirational pictures?

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.
