5 Timeless Retro Looks to Wear Today

1. Peter Pan Collar

This look is classic, and can be dressed up or down. For a night on the town, some sleek black jeans amp up the drama. For brunch with the gals, denim cutoffs make this casual and cute.


2. Circle Skirt

Whether long or short, a circle skirt is guaranteed to give your outfit some sass and flare. A shorter circle skirt is great for the spring, and longer for the fall. The fuller body and folds of fabric look and feel luxurious and stylish!


3. Turtle Neck Sweater

Channel your inner artist with a classic black, or add your own flare with a color or tank sleeves—whatever the specs, a turtleneck sweater is classic and can be balanced by a shorter skirt or slim jeans.


4. Wind Breaker

Whether you’re bold enough to try a crazy vintage print or you just like the loose look and elastic waist, a 90’s windbreaker is a statement piece with surprising warmth. I love my dark teal windbreaker (goodwill!) and it keeps me warm in the fall, the spring, and even some milder winter days.

High-Waisted Jeans or Shorts

These were normal back in the eighties—after the low-rise craze of the early 2000’s, they’ve earned their own name on the shelf. High-waisted jeans (or high-waisted anything) are so flattering and, frankly, more comfortable than jeans you have to hoist over your butt all day. And personally, I’m super excited that the fitted-waist loose-leg Levi’s look is back from the 70’s. High-waist all the way.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
