Hype: Swedish Hasbeens' Clogs
Swedish Hasbeens

If you know me, you know I have an obsession with clogs and the 70s look as a whole, so when I was introduced to Swedish Hasbeens a couple years ago I have been in love ever since. The brand Swedish Hasbeens is based out of the lovely country Sweden and designed after 300 pairs of '70s clogs were found in an abandoned clog factory by the owner, Emily Blixt.

A revival of clogs is a huge recent trend, and one that I suspect will last. With celebrities such as Sarah Jessica Parker and Maggie Gyllenhaal donning Swedish Hasbeen clogs, the brand is gaining popularity. "Hasbeens now has an international cult following, having been worn around the world by young and old" Patrix Blixt of Swedish Hasbeens says. The crossover between retro and modern styles of clogs attracts all sorts of individuals and their unique fashion.

Beyond just the pure beauty of Swedish Hasbeens, they are ecofriendly and handmade with care by people who respect the traditional Swedish creation of clogs. Blixt says "The Hasbeens toffels, bags and belts are based on original models from the past and are made of super quality vegetable tanned natural grain leather since it just becomes insanely beautiful when aged. Our production methods and material are kind to nature and people." Swedish Hasbeens are created in the "old traditional way, and in small factories that have made shoes for decades.", the website states. It's important to support companies that stick to their roots and are environmentally conscious while creating high quality goods. As said by Hasbeens Patrix Blixt, "The Hasbeens stuff have real soul, which comes from our history and the traditional and sustainable methods still used to make them."

Swedish Hasbeens can be found on many popular websites along with their website; www.SwedishHasbeens.com.

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.
