Passion for Plastic

Fashion magazine, i-D, introduced The Plastic Age, featuring Pharrell as the creative director. The trailer for the upcoming documentary concentrates on the resource of plastic waste, linking it to one inventive solution -- fashion.

Introducing Bionic Yarn -- an upcoming progressive textile that transforms plastic into wearable clothing fibers. Pharrell joins the plastic recycling movement and endorses Bionic Yarn as a solution to our ocean's immense plastic waste issue.


As i-D puts it, “an estimated 700 million tons of the stuff has ended up in the big blue, worked its way up the food chain and ultimately into the blood of human kind."

So if you don't feel affected by that shocking research, accept that plastic now lives inside our bodies. The issue undeniably has roots in our own lives: 288 millions tons of plastic are manufactured each year, with no proper disposal plan.

The full documentary follows Pharrell and G-Star Raw as an idea evolves into answers. The full film will be released April 15, through i-D publication where you will see G-Star's project "Raw for the Oceans" ignite change. The project itself concentrates on Bionic Yarn and its utilization as a global resource and solution. According to Complex, Burton and the NBA are on board to collaborate.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
