10 Best Dressed First Ladies of the US
Stylebook

Since our country's birth, we have seen 44 Presidents. With them, we have seen their wives: the First Ladies of the United States. Here are the best dressed FLOTUS:

10. Mary Todd Lincoln (1861-1865)

Though most of MTL's wardrobe was very gothic, it was very stylish for the era Lincoln served as presidency. And she did spend his presidency mourning the death of their child, so there's that.

9. Louisa Catherine Adams (1825-1829)

J.Q. scored himself a 10/10 of the early 19th century.

8. Eleanor Roosevelt (1933-1945)

Sure, she looks uncomfortable, but look at the coat paired with the dress! And those PEARLS!!!

7. Angelica Van Buren (1838-1841)

My favorite thing about Angelica is that she was one of the first FLOTUS to use accessories such as necklaces and headpieces to make certain areas of an outfit pop.

6. Edith Roosevelt (1901-1909)


She has a My Fair Lady vibe, at least in this image. I can dig it.

5. Claudia "Lady Bird" Johnson (1963-1969)

Lady LBJ had a simple elegance about her style, and it's quite alluring.

4. Rosalynn Carter (1977-1981)

Rosalynn dressed for comfort, but managed to keep it classy. Bravo, Mrs. Carter.

3. Jackie Kennedy (1961-1963)

One of my favorite style icons, honestly. Jackie's style reminds me a lot of Audrey Hepburn's style, and I love their taste for fashion.

2. Michelle Obama (2009-2017)

Our most recent First Lady had a very classy, captivating style.

1 Nancy Reagan (1981-1989)

I mean look at HOW CUTE SHE IS??? Classy, elegant, and real #TrapQueen.

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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
