Victoria’s Secret will stop selling swimsuits in 2016. Fans are outraged at the announcement of Victoria’s Secret eliminating their swimwear lines. According to BuzzFeed News, the company will stop selling swimwear at the end of the year in order to focus on their activewear line, VS Sport.

Victoria’s Secret has been known for their swimwear for several years. Swimwear at Victoria’s Secret is a $500 million business. In addition, CBS airs a “swim special” that showcases the latest swimsuit styles that Victoria’s Secret has to offer. There was even a special that aired this spring, which only added to the unexpectedness of this recent announcement. However, BuzzFeed adds that, in August, the company reported a decline in swimsuit sales. The swimwear was overly complex and missed the mark on fashion, leading to its inevitable downfall.

This news came months after the Victoria’s Secret parent company, L Brands, announced that they would be “streamlining the organization through the elimination of approximately 200 Columbus and New York home office associates.” With all of these changes taking place, fans remain skeptical about the future of the company. Although the company is trying to focus on core merchandise and recreate their image, some believe that Victoria’s Secret is too drastically changing their brand; one that customers have grown to love.

The good news for you? There are several sales taking place both online, and in stores. Be sure to stock up on swimsuits, and other merchandise before they are discontinued.

Happy shopping.

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.

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.
