Street Cred Style: A How To guide

Do you want to run these streets but don’t know how? Well it’s very simple, it’s all about looking like you know what you’re doing. A big part of that is your appearance - a.k.a your clothes. With these easy steps you will be running these streets by nightfall.

  1. Shoes

For the shoe you either want to stick with a punk rock look or a sportier feel. Tennis shoes are an option but aim for a more fashion forward tennis shoe instead of one made for running/training. Adidas have gotten more popular lately because they got with so many outfits. Or, try going for a lace up boot look that gives off an edgier vibe.


2. Pants

For the pants you can’t go wrong with distressed denim. No matter the color or wash, ripped jeans give the look a more casual feel while still looking like you run the show. It’s like a Yeezy ripped look but not as much money. If not ripped pants then try going for a camo pant. Yes, you can wear camo out in the street, it’s not just for hunting anymore. If all else fails go for black denim.


3. Shirt

For the shirt keep it simple. The shirt isn’t stealing the show in this outfit, rather being a supporting actor or working backstage to keep the show running. A t-shirt with a phrase or simple graphic will do the trick, or even play it safe with a solid. Anything that adds to the look without being center stage.


4. Jacket

Jackets are meant for street style. They layer the look and bring all of the pieces together. Bomber jackets are becoming more popular now. If you’re up for it, throw some patches on your jacket for more creativity.


5. Accessories

This is where you can add some icing on top of the cake! Accessories aren’t required but they spice up a look even more! Baseball hats are trending right now. Go for a hat that has a phrase or logo that you like. Suede hats are gaining more popularity as well. They add some more class to a typical baseball hat. Lastly, try throwing on some aviators because those make any outfit look badass.

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.
