You see them on your way to class, at concerts, theme parks, and even on game day. Now, they’re New York Fashion Week’s must-have spring staple: white converse. The Chuck Taylor classic sneaker was celebrated for its effortless vibe as it complimented Adam Selman’s 2015-2016 Spring/Summer Collection.

Call us Clueless, but Selman’s newest collection showed fashion watchers and style bloggers alike that the '90s comeback is still in full swing at NYFW. Water color pastels, slouchy jeans, and chokers also made an appearance, but it was the low-top Converse that stole the show. Adam Selman first gained notoriety designing costumes and custom clothes for A-List celebrities like Rihanna. It’s a great business decision to move from custom designs to ready-wear—who doesn’t want to look like Rihanna?

While prints, patterns, and colors of Converse come and go, the white and black styles remain timeless. To keep an outfit from looking too try-hard or put together, drop the heels or strappy sandals and throw on a pair of classic white high-tops. Heading out to a day party in a pair of your favorite cutoffs? The black low-tops are your go-to.

College students are some of Converse's top brand ambassadors, but if you haven’t hopped on the high-top bandwagon, now is the time to commit. No other accessory in your closet will be more reliable or more versatile. Even as time goes on, collections retire, and the '90s trend becomes so last-season, your Converse will remain classic.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
