It seems like every day you find out something about a company you like and shop with, that makes you question your loyalty to the company. It might even be that the quality no longer exists for the company but they continue to raise prices constantly expecting you to fall for it.

Instead of wondering who you are supporting, find companies that make products you love and can get behind. Here are some of my well-known favorites, click the links in the names to learn more and shop their products:

1. 10 Tree

Ten Tree's mission is pretty straightforward as they promise to plant 10 trees for every product purchased, regardless of the price of an item. They work to protect the environment and sell sustainable products that come from sustainable materials such as organic cotton, and recycled polyester to name just a few.

2. Patagonia

Patagonia is by far one of the most environmentally conscious clothing brands. Every step of producing and selling the products is thought of and ways to reduce their impact on the environment are taken. Starting from the materials they use for their products, such as fair trade cotton and fleece, and using mostly recycled products.

Their employees are encouraged to bike to work, the stores and factories are run with minimal energy usage such as lighting. In fact, on Black Friday they donated all $10 Million dollars in sales to grassroots nonprofits that work to protect, preserve, and conserve the environment.

3. Levi's

Levi's puts a lot of work in to reduce its impact on the environment, such as using as much as 96% less water to make their jeans, teaching farmers how to produce cotton in a more environmentally friendly way, following the Responsible Down Standard for down filling products (jackets), and recycling old Levi's jeans by patching them and selling them as one of a kind products to cut out the waste and by-products needed to make a new pair of jeans.

4. United By Blue

United By Blue works to keep our oceans and waterways clean, and they do this by promising for every product sold they will remove one pound of garbage from our waterways. So far they have removed over 1 million pounds of trash from US' waterways.

They also use responsible materials to make their items as well, such as organic cotton, and wool. They are also a certified B corporation which requires rigorous social responsibility.

5. Life is Good

Life is Good has been focused on positivity since day one; their designs, employees, locations, and advertisements reflect this positivity. Not only do they spread love and positivity to their customers, but they also have created the Life is Good Kids Foundation.

This foundation offers workshops for adult professionals (teachers, nurses, specialists, etc.) who work with children to teach them how to create positivity in the lives of the children they work with and help the children overcome adverse childhood experiences such as abuse, neglect, and other household issues.

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.
