Call The Fashion Police On Gucci Already!
Alexandra Michalski

"You Gucci?" The luxury Italian brand has become almost synonymous with something good or okay. During the summer you couldn't go more than five minutes on a radio station without hearing the song Gucci Gang at least once. Yet, I've never seen anyone wearing anything Gucci. I've heard of one guy buying a Gucci belt and trying to show it off, but other than that there's been nothing Gucci in my life. Why is that? Is it that the outrageous prices turn people away? No. It's because Gucci's style is weirdly reminiscent of the time you were five years old and playing dresses up in you grandmother's closet. There are items on their website so ugly I cringe thinking about the poor soul who was beguiled into buying it just because of the brand attached to it.

Striped Faux Fur Coat $9,300

What kind of animal were they trying to go for?

Real fur coats are bad. Faux fur coats are better, but at what cost?

Gold and Silver Sequin Top $5,200

Yes that shirt with that skirt? Perfect.

Alexandra Michalski

When Yukon Cornelius said he was looking for silver and gold I'm not sure this is what he meant...

Balaclava Knit Top $890

You know, for those days when you want to wear a turtleneck and a ski mask but be able to still eat your sandwich on your way to class.

Oversize Sweatshirt With Zebra Print $1,280

My mother would cry if I walked out the house looking like this.

Alexandra Michalski

The eighties are coming back with a vengeance.

Bugs Bunny Suede Vest with Patches $4,950

Why? Just why?

Alexandra Michalski

I dare you to wear this exact outfit to class. Exactly as is. It's the epitome of fashion!

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
