Does anyone else remember that "prepster phase" everyone was in just a few years ago? For some of us, this wasn't a phase, and it's a style we will never grow out of.

Nowadays, I walk into stores where I have found myself thinking, "I'm not trendy enough for this fashion."

You won't find me in booty shorts or a crop top any time soon, but you will probably find me wearing one of these classic pieces:

1. Lilly Pulitzer.

You can never go wrong with a bright and happy dress. Everything I own from here makes me feel like a million bucks, and I'd like to keep it that way. (You'll also probably find my future kiddos wearing this brand too.)

2. Jack Rogers.

It seems like everybody and their mother owns this infamous sandal. Despite the breaking-in phase, these are the most comfortable shoes for dinner by the beach.

3. Vineyard Vines Shep Shirt.

Shep shirts are similar to half-zip pullovers, but they make you feel a million times more put together. They come in many classic colors and patterns, and can even be monogrammed! The shep shirt is perfect for chilly summer nights.

4. Floppy Hat.

Bonus points if it's straw and has cursive writing around the rim. Not only will you look cute, but it'lll protect you from the sun!

5. A Big Tote For All The Essentials.

I've had my eye on this one from Barrington Gifts! It's just big enough to carry everything I need for a either a work trip to Starbucks or a day at the beach. Other favorites include Kate Spade, Tory Burch, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel.

6. J.Crew Chino Shorts.

These shorts are so comfortable, and can be bought in almost every color and pattern. Not only do they last for years, but they will never go out of style.

7. Navy and White Striped Tee

Another classic. These can be bought almost anywhere, can be worn in any season, and as a part of any outfit.

8. Everyday Necklace.

​This can be an accessory that can be worn with EVERYTHING, from norts and a t-shirt to a date night outfit.

9. Statement Earrings.

Out of everything on this list, statement earrings are probably the trendiest. Anything fits, whether they be tassels, hoops, or pom-poms!

10. Big Sunglasses.

Everyone needs a pair of sunglasses, so why not buy a pair you can wear forever! Bonus points if they are tortoise!

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.

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:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
