Style is subjective. However, some things could (and rightfully should) be considered universally awful in the world of style and fashion. Below are 7 fashion trends that are relentless and don't seem to die no matter how terrible and/or overhyped they are. Read ahead and prepare for some graphic images of some truly hideous fashion trends that live on in immortality even though they should've been dead long, long ago.

1. Patagonia Everywhere

Patagonia, in general, is fine, but who decided that this puffy mess was a good look? Also, why do I feel like I see at least 30 people wearing this exact same jacket on my way to class every day?

2. Birkenstocks


Don't even get me started with these generic Birkenstocks. I can't even begin to tell you how many good outfits I've seen ruined by these footwear monstrosities.

3. Lumberjack Fashion

@Guys, all this look does is make you look like a jerk. You look like a poser and we all know that you live in the city and have literally never chopped a single piece of wood in your entire life.

4. Pizza Merch

I get it, everyone is obsessed with pizza and everyone thinks it's ~casual and cool~ to wear merch with pictures of pizza printed all over it. But honestly, the second I see someone wearing pizza merch I immediately brace myself for getting ready to be annoyed and hear someone tell me the same unfunny joke that I've heard a million times before.

5. Ironic T-shirts

You're not funny or edgy. This just makes you look pretentious.

6. ~Street Style Blogger~ Looks (aka just a plain white t-shirt with mom jeans, boots, and oversized sunglasses)

If you wanna rock this look, that's cool. Do you! But just please don't act like you're destined to be on the cover of vogue with your run-of-the-mill style that has been seen on every blogging platform at least 70 million times.

7. Mandals (aka guys wearing sandals)

If it's warm in the summertime and your feet need some room to breathe, fine. Go ahead. But if you have the audacity to wear mandals in the middle of the winter (especially with a pair of jeans and the aforementioned Patagonia puffer jacket), then we need to talk. Please save yourself and others the pain of having to see your winter #manfeet.

*Disclaimer: at the end of the day, I'm a firm believer in everyone wearing whatever the heck they want! This is just my personal take on trends that I'm not personally fond of.*

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

Being A Senior: The Best And Worst Of It

Graduation is coming.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
