WEAR in the World Is Serengetee?

WEAR in the World Is Serengetee?
The Washington Press

Recently, I have been chosen to be a Spring Campus Representative for the company, Serengetee. You may be reading this article asking yourself, “What in the world is ‘Serengetee’?” Well, you should actually be asking yourself, “WHERE in the world is ‘Serengetee’?” If you’re into cute clothes and fabrics that serve an awesome mission, read on, friends, because I’m about to tell you about a great company that everyone should know about.

Two college friends, Jeff and Ryan, started Serengetee in 2012 after they had spent a Semester at Sea, travelling to countries in Africa, Asia, and Central America. They toured their way through several countries and markets, collecting unique fabrics from the local artisans. Although they had zero fashion experience and probably about $2 left in their pockets (since I totally relate to the whole poor college student lifestyle that they too endured), they started making pocket tees from their dorm rooms, highlighting each unique fabric from around the world.


Serengetee uses different, colorful fabrics from over 25 different countries, and in return, give back 10% of their profits to a number of different causes. For instance, the “Auki” fabric from Solomon Islands supports the Kilu’ufi Hospital, which serves and cures the artists’ community, while the “Metz” fabric from France supports the A21 Campaign, which seeks to end human trafficking through prevention, protection, and prosecution.


Each fabric has a different story: a different place they are from, a different cause they support, and a different means of assembly. Each fabric is unique, and you are able to add it to different clothes, accessories, and more, making it your own personal style, while wearing a part of the world.

Now I know you’re all thinking about my dad pun from the title of this article; I know it was bad. But do me a favor and think of me when you buy your awesome new bucket and cute new crop top and #WearTheWorld around the world and support great missions all at the same time.

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.
