Looking business casual does not have to equal stuffy and boring. Spice up your wardrobe and impress everyone in your office by implementing these simple elements into your everyday work wear and get your hustle on while looking like a boss.

1. Silk scarf

A scarf to wrap around your neck or throw in your hair is the perfect touch to class-up and add a stylish element to your outfit. There are so many fun colors and prints, so don't be afraid to mix and match it with any outfit!

2. Don't be afraid of color

Believe it or not, black isn't always the only way you can look chic. In fact, playing with different tones and colors is the new black. Whether it's a pop of color, printed shoes or rocking the multi-tone look, give it a shot.

3. Mix and match prints and colors

Being matchy-matchy is a thing of the past. Try mixing prints and patterns. Ironically enough, being daring enough to pull off the mixed prints look will make you look like you have it all together.

Besides, a big plus of jumping on this style bandwagon is that you can save so much time not having to worry about making everything patch perfect. Just throw on different things and see what works together and what works for you.

4. Monochromatic/ one-tone

If the mix-and-match thing isn't for you, go opposite. Do a matching set or monochromatic look. This look is so chic and stylish that you will be sure to turn heads and be the ultimate girl boss at your office.

5.Do the skirt

It's summer, it's hot, and what's more airy and cool than a skirt? Don't discount this fabulous item. Even if skirts aren't normally your thing, there are so many options that you are bound to find one that works for you, including A-line, tulle, layered, pencil, midi, floor length, etc.

A fun skirt is better than dress pants any day, so show off the girly figure, sister. Plus, the ventilation on a hot day is phenomenal. You'll thank me later.

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.
