Swingin' Back To The 60's

The styles of the sixties never truly left; they have been in our wardrobe and makeup bag. Recently, they have been brought back into the limelight and people are, once again, embracing the classic styles of the sixties.

Go for the go-go boots.


Not only are they comfortable and chic, but they can be paired with any outfit. Tall or short, printed or plain, these boots will fit anyone’s style. From jeans to dresses to skirts, these 60’s essential boots are the way to go-go.

Maximize the mini skirts.

A-line or flare, mini skirts have always had a special place in everyone’s closet. Walking to class on a chilly winter day over tights or breaking it down on the dance floor on a Friday night, a mini skirt is the perfect pick.

Oh so shifty.

Have a job interview? Throw on a shift dress, opaque tights and a tailored blazer. Going out on a date and don’t want to wear something too snug, but shows off the legs? With a shift dress and a pair of heels, I foresee a night of compliments coming your way.

Belt those bellbottoms.

Bellbottom jeans have raised from the grave (or the deepest depths of our closets) and have begun to re-enter the world of fashion. Not since 1969 have flared jeans been so fashion-forward. Whether they are high or low-waisted, dark or light wash, these jeans are flattering on any body type.

Not so subtle scarves.

A stylish, simple and affordable way to instantly change your outfit. Not only can they be worn around your neck, but wearing scarves on your head was a popular trend in the 60's that has found its way back into the fashion world. If you are having a bad hair day or simply want to change up your hair, a chic scarf is the answer. Scarves can be worn in infinite ways.

Extreme eyes.

One of the biggest icons of the 60s’s was Twiggy, who was not only a fashion muse but more famously known for her impeccable makeup. Twiggy always sported elaborate eyeliner and painted-on eyelashes. Gloss on a nude lip and let your eyes do the talking.

Pump up the hair.

The more volume the better with this popular look from the 60's that has had a recent revival. With a bit of teasing and hairspray, you can accomplish this classic and chic look perfect for any occasion.

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.
