3 Trends I Hated Before Absolutely Loving Them

Trends can easily make anything over-worn or overdone. With the right inspiration, I overcame my hatred for these three trends

Trends…what can you say? They come and go. It always gets me to think, how do trends come about? Who decides what's cute, and what's not? And why do I fall a victim to trends every time? I promise you, I wouldn't think ripped jeans were fashionable if they weren't in style. But something about items being "in" and trendy brings this weird fascination upon myself to take these trends and put my own spin on them. Here are three trends that I disapproved of before absolutely loving them:

1. Platform Sneakers

I used to think sneakers that had too much material at the bottom looked silly. It was one of the many trends I didn't understand, but I eventually caught on and realized that it could be made cute. I purchased my own pair a few months ago, and I've been sporting them with skin tight jeans or leggings, a cute, bold top, and some fashionable sunglasses if the sunshine calls for them.

2. Jumpsuits

Honestly, I can't believe I used to think these things were hideous. Something about patterned outfits that were one entire piece gave me a pajama vibe that I tried to stay away from. But with large purses, matching belts and adorable sandals being added to the mix: I knew I had to get my own jumpsuit. I purchases a rose patterned jumpsuit from Macy's, and with the right accessories, I can be comfy and cute at many special occasions. Jumpsuits can be pulled off for fancier events that don't quite welcome jeans. Activities from grabbing brunch with your girlfriends to attending open houses throughout the day can allow anyone to pull off a jumpsuit and look incredibly fashionable.

3. Denim Jackets

In the summer heat, it's rare to see anyone wearing a denim jacket. But in the "swinter" weeks, these were going around like crazy. I remember looking at my Instagram feed around March and seeing nothing but girls in denim jackets, from one picture to the next. I never despised denim jackets, I just saw them as something that were fashionable back then, and the trend passing over for decades after. They came back out of nowhere, and I just didn't understand it. Seeing other people make a classic item look more modern inspired me to purchase my own from Forever 21.

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.
