While attending Indiana University, there are many clothing trends that just seem to be more noticeable than others. While I know everyone has their own opinion, these are the uber-popular trends that I can not wait to see die down, but possibly never will. They are the most basic.

1. Adidas Sneakers

I wish I had a dollar for every time I have seen a girl wearing these on campus. They may be easy to pair with virtually any outfit but they are so unoriginal.


2. Monogram Rain Jackets:

From Greek organizations to clubs, these jackets pop up everywhere on any slightly rainy day. While they may be very popular, I find they lack the element of style.

3. Leggings:

One day I woke up and the legging trend was everywhere and to this day has not been touched. Leggings really are not stylish at all so why do college students love them so much? Maybe, it is just comfortability.

4. "Norts" AKA Nike Shorts

Great for the gym, but not sure why people feel the need to wear sportswear to class. To some, it may seem sporty chic but other times it comes across as just lazy.


5. Kilroy's T-Shirts

If I had a dollar for every time I saw some form of Kilroy's spirit wear I would be loaded. If you did not go to IU you might even think Kilroy's was a sports team of some sort. While they are great for making and keeping memories I would not be caught wearing one of these unless I was going to bed.

6. Spirit Jerseys

Everyone and their mother seems to have some sort of spirit jersey in their closet. They may boast a vacation name, a college alma mater or their own greek letters but the point is they are seen so often. I am not sure why because they are so baggy and do not seem to be super aesthetically pleasing but that's OK, great loungewear for the daytime...

The college experience comes with traditions but some traditions especially related to college apparel are just a tad bit overdone. Why not be different and try something from your closet that other people do not have, you may love it.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

College is a great place to meet people, especially through Greek life. If you look closely at sororities, you'll quickly see there are many different types of girls you will meet.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
