The 2000s: The Fashion Decade That Should Never Get A Revival

What were we thinking? You've seen it once, you've seen it a million times. Every few years stores flood with decade inspired pieces that give us a sense of nostalgia, and make us wish we were born in that time. From the Gatsby-esque pieces embodying the 1920s, to the A-line dresses inspired by the '50s, we have a tendency to repeat trends of decades past. But is it possible to have 100 years if style and iconic looks actually go by without having one major fashion decade faux pas? You guessed it --the answer is no, and the worst fashion decade in history is inarguably 2000 to 2010. The trends we've seen here are pretty much as bad as they get, so before you decide this decade needs a revival, check out the worst looks of the decade and maybe you'll reconsider.

1. Juicy tracksuits.

Wearing monochromatic velour head to toe sounded like a great idea at the time.

2. Dresses as shirts.

I'm all for a long-line top, don't get me wrong, but wearing a sundress over a pair of wide leg jeans? Not necessary. Please, never let this look come back.

3. Letting the world see your thong.

No. Just no.

4. Skirts and shorts with Ugg boots.

I'll admit, I was an offender of this trend. I can't be entirely sure what would possess us to pair sheepskin boots and skirts but these were darker times, and I'm sure we all have the embarrassing photos to prove it.

5. Wearing scarves as tops.

Taking to the dictionary with this one. Scarf: "A length or square of fabric worn around the neck or head," why we thought it was OK to stray from this definition still blows my mind.

6. Wearing belts that serve no purpose.

Everyone loved a good chunky belt to throw over their favorite flowing top/skirt combo.

7. Pants with words printed across the back.

I'm all for a clever quote on a graphic tee, but having "Juicy," "Angel," or "Baby" written across the butt is really unnecessary.

So, we've definitely all been there and have probably (sadly) rocked one of these trends, but I think we need to all make a pact to never let any of this be acceptable again. What happened in the 2000s should stay in the 2000s.

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.
