10 Trends of 2015 That the Characters of Friends Wore First

As we say goodbye to 2015, let's reflect on style trends and see just how the 90s inspired this year with the help of Phoebe, Monica and Rachel.


1. The Half-Up Half-Down Bun

Everyone thinks it was inspired by the man bun and new to 2015, but Phoebe Buffay rocked it first.


2. The Ribbed Turtle Neck Sweater

Drake may have worn one in his "Hotline Bling" music video, but it was Monica's look first.


3. The Choker

Chokers were huge in the '90s, as Monica and Phoebe display here so well. Chokers took a hiatus for awhile and came back everywhere in 2015. Only time will tell if it's an accessory that will last into 2016.


4. The Shirt/Jacket Tied Around the Waist

The look of both fashion and practicality! The shirt or jacket is tied around the waste for fashion and then when it gets too chilly, you can put it right on to warm up too. Now people wear this look more with flannels but Rachel still looks good doing it.


5. Fringe

From purses to skirts to jackets and everything in between, fringe was definitely huge, and Phoebe thought so too. From out singing Smelly Cat and her other hits to hanging out at Central Perk, she made sure to rock her fringe jacket.


6. Flannel

The '90s grunge look was huge, and here's Rachel taking a stab at it. In 2015, the look really came back and everyone was wearing plaid from punks to preps and anyone in between.


7. Overalls

From girls at concerts to people walking down the streets, overalls and shorter-alls made a comeback in 2015. It's a look that maybe should stay with Rachel back in the '90s though.


8. Graphic Shirts and Sweatshirts

As Tumblr fashions and going thrifting become more mainstream, even high-end fashion brands are hopping on board and creating shirts and sweatshirts with graphics and sayings on them for the people of 2015 to wear, showing Monica and Rachel's looks here may be truly timeless.



9. Corduroy and Denim Mini Skirts

This is a look I haven't seen since the late '90s, early 2000s when Rachel and Monica wore it, but it came back in full force in 2015!


10. The Bucket Hat

The bucket hat was seen everywhere in 2015 from rappers like Schoolboy Q to Rihanna, and even on models down the runway. Phoebe thought the hat was pretty cool too and that's why she rocked her version of one back on "Friends."


With 2015 coming to a close, many predict that 2016 will be '70s inspired. So, be on the lookout for trends worn by Jackie and Donna from "That '70s Show" in the near future. After all, they do say what's old is new again.

Have a Happy and Healthy New Year!

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.
