20 Fashion Trends We NEED To Cancel By 2020, Because Birkenstocks Should Only Be Worn By Your Elderly Uncle

I hope it's not too early to ring in 2020, because we have some business to take care of. Let's all agree to forget these 20 looks from 2019 ever happened.

1. Biker Shorts

I don't think they're flattering on me personally, but the main reason these should be cancelled ASAP is because they were SO overworn in 2019! Keep them for the gym!

2. Fanny Packs

I can't believe how overhyped fanny packs were in 2019. Let's ditch them, shall we?

3. Cold Shoulder Tops

These should've stayed in 2018 because this style of shirt is so out. The fact that this shirt was ever considered fashionable is still a mystery to me.

4. Checker Print

'Nuff said.

5. Colored Hair Streaks

I want this trend to go mainly because people are bleaching their hair at home! Let's make safely dyeing your hair trendy again!

6. Champion Clothes

Brand names are cool and all, but it becomes pretty materialistic to dress in something just because it has the Champion logo on it.

7. Excessive Highlighter

Highlighter is cute and trendy, but overusing it gives off a thick and unblended look which I believe doesn't deserve to survive the New Year.

8. Chokers

As a general rule of thumb, if it was cool in 2015, let's make it extinct in the near future.

9. "Relatable" Graphic Tees

Self explanatory reason for why Forever 21 is going out of business.

10. Off-White Belts

Can we please go back to wearing belts for utility, not for the brand?

11. Fluffy Jackets

The appeal of a giant jacket like this is great for comfort, not so much for style!

12. Mom Jeans

Giphy

These pants may be comfortable, but the high rise pant and tucked in shirt look has turned more mainstream and less of a unique retro vibe.

13. Camo Pants

Another example of something that used to be cute, but now needs to be replaced by a fresher trend.

14. Corsets

I'm ready to kick this style of shirt to the curb in 2020!

15. Baker Boy Hats

I don't know how this style of hat ever became popular, it just seems so unflattering on any head.

16. Fishnets

These were cute, but now this 80s tribute seems blander by the day.

17. Spider Leg Lashes

Lashes are a must for glam, but how necessary is glopping on tons of mascara?

18. Transparent Shoes

These aren't too practical, think about the sweat and grime you'd be able to see when wearing them sock-less!

19. Tribal Patterns

Tribal prints have got to go, they've been too mainstream for many years now - they are definitely on the way out.

20. Birkenstocks

Uncle shoes? No thank you!

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
