How well can you do?

The Coolest Shopping Challenge For Friends
Lauren Machalany

Videos like this are all over YouTube. Shopping challenges often have time, money, or other restrictions. The challenge tests how well you know a friends style but also takes people out of their comfort zone and has them wear something they maybe would not usually wear.

My friend, and fellow Odyssey writer, Kevin and I accepted the challenge. We went to Aeropostale, and gave ourselves 20 minutes to find an inexpensive outfit for the other person. The outcome was better than expected. We did not use the full 20 minutes. Read our thoughts on how it went below.

Lauren's Opinion:

Shopping for Kevin was a lot of fun. I had something in mind that I knew he could pull off. Once we got in the store I saw colored pants with rips and decided to base the rest of the outfit around that. Kevin wears a lot of sweatshirts so I decided a black and gray one would look nice and not distract from the like pink pants. To finish off the look, I picked out a jean jacket and black baseball cap.

The outfit he picked out for me was not necessarily something I would have purchased myself only because it included camouflage. After trying it on, however, I really liked it. He paired it with a black t-shirt and ripped jeans, which looked really good together. Overall, I loved the outfit he chose. It was something I was comfortable wearing but still different from my everyday look.


Kevin's Opinion:

When Lauren texted me about this challenge, I said yes right away. We met up the next day and I was ready for it. I liked picking out her outfit because I got to put my own style into it. It was kind of hard but once I did a lap around the store, I figured out what I wanted to do. I picked out light ripped jeans, a black t-shirt, and a camo jacket.

The outfit she chose for me was not too bad. I wasn't a fan of how the pants fit, but I think I looked good in what she picked out.

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.
