College students are known, among other things, for our out-of-the-box and sometimes outrageous outfit choices. We "adults" can get away with almost any fashion faux-pas with the simple excuse of being a college student. You could walk down the street in nothing but a diaper and a coconut bra and people would shrug it off and think, "Ugh, there goes another college student." These are the 10 fashion crimes college students made cool in 2015.

1. Onesies

There is no shame in strutting through campus donning a tiger onesie. We started the year with just geese on our campus. But now we have lions and tigers and unicorns and minions... oh my!

2. Crop tops with literally anything

A few short years ago, one could only crop a picture. In recent years, college students have figured out how to crop a top. Go us! These half-shirts pop up on nearly every occasion. Class? Oh, throw on a crop top with high-waisted shorts. Class in the cold? A crop top with a high-waisted skirt and tights should do just fine. Party? A crop top with a skirt will make you fit in perfectly.

3. Crocs

After a brief hiatus, they were back this year and worse than before. College students always think it's funny to bring back trends that were never acceptable in the first place.

4. Bikini t-shirts

These large tee shirts hide the fact that you didn't go to the gym all semester but still have a "hot bod" somewhere inside you... or your t-shirt drawer.

5. Tutus

When in doubt, tutu it out. You were never a ballerina or even a dancer, but you came up with every possible excuse to wear these to any themed party.

6. Jumpsuits and Rompers

It's a pair of shorts. No, it's a dress. No, it's... umm both? College students rocked these peeing obstacles throughout the summer and winter.

7. Cornrows

Only in college is it tolerated to cornrow half your hair for a party and sport it to class the next morning.

8. Gym clothes to everywhere other than the gym

We're notorious for wearing workout clothes everywhere we go, except the gym.

9. Flash tattoos

All of us regretted that flash tat necklace we put on for a Friday night party that lasted until the next weekend. New years resolution: I will not put any more flash tats on places you cannot cover for class.

10. Fanny packs

The only two groups of people in this world who wear fanny packs are older women in Disney World and college women at parties. If something can hold my phone and my room key while I dance, I'm all in.

Let's see what other fashion faux-pas we can turn into trends in 2016. Rock on, trendy college students.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
