It's daylong season.

5 New Trends You Need For Daylongs

Daylongs are a rite of passage at Penn State. Without our Saturdays at the bars, apartments, or fraternities, we would be bored and lonely. However, when attending a daylong you notice that everyone looks the same. If you see one Instagram on a Sunday morning you probably could quit while you're ahead, because you'll have seen them all. Regardless, you want to be with the trends and therefore you succumb to peer pressure and buy up the newest look.

1. Choker.

The eighth grade trend is back, people. In the event that you are a hoarder you may even have your collection of chokers from back in the 2000's. You can go for the typical black ones like everyone else or dress it up and have some fun with the trend. I am sure if you look at your TimeHop from 6 years ago, one picture probably has you in the same outfit you'll be wearing at a daylong this year. Interesting to see the trends coming full circle.

2. Adidas.

When you were te,n your parents convinced you Puma sneakers were in, meanwhile they never were. Today, I am telling you Adidas have become the new Converse at Penn State. Yes, I know they cost more and you probably just bought yourself a new pair of Converse, but on the bright side you will be trendy.

3. Boyfriend jeans.

In 2000's skirts were the thing. In 2008 it was trying to find the tightest wearing pants on the market. In 2016, it is all about the perfect crop top and boyfriend jean match. Thank god this is a trend, because in 2008 it took 10 minutes to put jeans on. Today, they're as comfortable as a good pair of sweatpants.

4. Calvin Klein.

Remember when Victoria's Secret was the place to buy everything under the sun? Well the secret is out, Victoria is a man, and now the new man back in town is CK. Shirts, sports bras, boxers, and underwear, you name it and CK has it. He's back in style so you might as well get it while it's hot.

5. Round sunglasses.

Ray-Ban way wafers are a thing of the past for girls. Gladiators did not last long. Mom sunglasses get lost in the shuffle. So how to stand out while still fitting in? Find the biggest, most obnoxiously colored round sunglasses. The nice thing about this trend is that you can spend less than $20, still be stylist, and because they take up half you're face, make up just became optional.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
