The early 2000s was easily a golden era of fashion, at least that's what pre-teen me thought at the time. Looking back at it... not so much. But hey, at least us late-'90s babies weren't "rocking" clothing plastered with emojis and acronyms like "LOL" and "YOLO." Remember the daring looks of Brittany Spears and Justin Timberlake when they pulled off all denim, matching outfits? Or the Disney Channel/fashion icon, Ashley Tisdale and all her infamous red carpet looks? Truly legendary.

Thanks to stores like Urban Outfitters, SOME of these treasured trends are making a miraculous comeback. You can even find them on Amazon! Though we did have some interesting trends, you're lying to yourself if you haven't wished you could flaunt around in a fresh new pair of gauchos again.

1. Low rise jeans paired with chunky belts

Well, you needed something to keep your jeans from falling even lower, so why not a statement belt?


Buy it on Amazon.


2. Layered tank tops

Because why not wear 3 tank tops on top of each other?


Buy them on Amazon.


3. Gauchos

God bless the creator of these magical pants.


Buy them on Amazon.


4. Crocs

Well, duh.


Buy them on Amazon.


5. Livestrong Bracelets

You couldn't catch a single elementary student without at least one of these bad boys on their wrists.


Buy it on Amazon.


6. Headbands with scarf tails

I think I had eight of these at one point in my life. That was clearly my peak.


Buy them on Amazon.


7. Kanye Glasses

Probably the most impractical trend, but that did not make anyone immune to these barred-shades.


Buy them on Amazon.


8. Stylish barrettes

Yes, I do need 12 barrettes for only one piece of hair.


Buy it on Amazon.


9. Jelly sandals

I saw a pair of these in Forever 21 last week and nearly died.


Buy them on Amazon.


10. Silly bands

"I'll give you two dog silly bands for one of your horse silly bands."


Buy them on Amazon.

11. Colorful tracksuits

Remember in "Mean Girls" when the only thing Regina could fit into was her pink tracksuit? I felt that.


Buy it on Amazon.


12. Plaid shorts

I looked like a damn picnic table most of my childhood.


Buy them on Amazon.


13. Skinny sequined scarves

Definitely did not keep you warm, but at least they kept you fashionable.


Buy it on Amazon.


14. Initialed bags

If you didn't have at least 6 bags with your first initial on it, then what were you doing?


Buy it on Amazon.


15. Lip Smackers lip balm

And what better to fill your initialed bag with other than soda-flavored lipgloss?


Buy it on Amazon.

Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is What I Hope Heaven Feels Like

By: James McDonald

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
