5 New Fashion Trends That You Must Bring Into The New Year

This bleak year was full of many hardships that make it nearly impossible to look for the positives in 2020. Fashion in this crazy year has actually changed for the better thanks to the quarantine that has forced people to adapt to their new lifestyles. Trends have become more casual and suitable for lounging at home.

No one should ever have to sacrifice their fashion sense to also feel cozy. These are some trends that allow you to embrace both.

1. Sweatsuit Sets

Something about a matching hoodie- sweatpant combination immediately elevates a look. A vibrant color or a simple neutral both work perfectly for this casual style. They make grocery store runs and social distance hangouts more fashionable without giving up on comfort.

2. Crochet Knit Vests

These comfy sleeveless sweaters are one of my favorite trends this fall. If you live in a cold climate, layering your vest with a cozy turtle neck and jacket can really dress up a simple pair of jeans. Vests can also be worn alone for a just as adorable look. Most stores are selling these right now in a variety of vibrant patterns and prints.

3. Leather Coats

I immediately hopped on this trend once I saw my favorite influencers and designers rocking this outerwear. Leather coats have been in for years, but the long colorful leather jackets are what has made a comeback at the end of 2020. These coats do more than just look amazing, they are also very warm for the approaching winter months.

4. Corduroy

Basically anything corduroy has been HUGE in fall 2020. I own two different colored baggy corduroy jeans as well as three corduroy oversized jackets. Not only is this material warm, but it also looks great as a throw on piece to really give your fit a 70's flare. I am overjoyed that this trend is back and better than ever.

5. Cashmere

Cashmere sweaters have been all the rage this fall. The ones I have seen most commonly are the button down cropped style that look incredible paired with a neutral under top and cozy pants. They just add that extra flare to your fit while also being cozy enough to fall asleep in. A set I recently purchased since being home for Christmas is an adorable white cashmere bra button down sweater duo. It looks fabulous with jeans and sweatpants alike.

These five trends mentioned make up the majority of my closet right now, so here is to hoping that they stay as they are now in 2021!

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.

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.
