My familiarity with the sustainable lifestyle and fashion industry has recently increased after watching a video posted by a creator, Arden Rose, on her YouTube channel. The movement towards a more eco-friendly and longer-lasting way of living has become more and more prominent in the last few years.

I personally was always surrounded by a conversation about environmentally-friendly and conscious choices. Stores such as H&M have begun to feature clothing lines such as H&M Conscious. Including advertisements highlighting the positive impact of sustainable clothing, introducing the campaign to recycle clothing, and the changes in tags throughout the store to specify the clothing that is part of this unique line has drawn attention to this store, and others, in the progress towards sustainability.

What I found to be the most interesting, starting with Arden's video and then from my own research afterward, was the varying degrees with which clothing is judged to be sustainable. Different environmental and conservational organizations rate different brands, products, and materials differently from one another. The greatest struggle that I have seen so far has been the development of my own personal judgment. What do I deem to be the most accurate source of standardization of sustainability and who is influenced by which other organization for their ranking?

It is in the process of this exploration that I have concluded that I am just barely scratching the surface of my exploration into the world of sustainability. What I have started to do is purge my closet of any clothing that I have not worn in a long time or that I have found just does not fit me anymore. These clothes I then take in bags to H&M and recycle, I trade with my friends to get a new wardrobe without spending any money, or I donate.

If you might be interested in exploring sustainability, or if I've just piqued your interest, go ahead and start with Arden's video above. That's where I first started becoming more interested in making changes that could, in the long-term, really help keep our planet happy and healthy.

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.
