IF YOU'RE A STUDENT TRYING TO MAKE IT IN THE FASHION INDUSTRY, YOU'LL WANT TO READ THIS

If you are a DESIGN STUDENT, BUSINESS STUDENT, ART STUDENT, ADVERTISING/COMMUNICATIONS STUDENT, or have ANY TYPE OF CREATIVE BONE IN YOUR BODY, then I feel like it’s my duty to tell you about one of the best resume-building opportunities you could possibly take advantage of (from the very comfort of your own dorm).

Basically, it’s a website that lets you post any type of content you want, whether it be personal blogs, news articles reported by YOU, or even photo essays or videos. These can be as long or as short as you want, are posted to a NATIONAL PLATFORM WITH THOUSANDS OF READERS, EVERY SINGLE WEEK! Oh yeah, did I mention you also have the opportunity to earn cash from it?

Welcome to the Odyssey at FIT. You’ve probably heard of us. You know all those creative “15 Stages of Thanksgiving Dinner as Told by Mean Girls” –type articles shared all over Facebook? Yeah, those are us. Maybe you’ve recently read some of our controversial election pieces that have garnered hundreds of thousands of shares? Those are us too.

From a fashion perspective, as student trying to make it in the industry, there is no better, more efficient way of gaining exposure than through becoming published on a platform as powerful as the Odyssey.

Are you a designer? Feature a photo essay of your collections, and share it on various webpages.

Are you a blogger? Write weekly segments about your life, and plug your blog at the end (I can promise that the Odyssey gets at least triple the page views that you’re currently garnering).

Interested in video or communications? Start a “NYC Street Style” series where you interview your friends or random strangers about their outfits. Something like that is creative enough to be added to any portfolio or brought up on a job interview!

Want to know one of the best ways the Odyssey can help you out in the industry? Through its ability to create leaders of any kind. At Odyssey, you can move from becoming a content creator to a contributing editor to eventually becoming the Editor in Chief of an entire community! Can you say “ideal resume builder”?

SO, JUST TO RECAP, the Odyssey allows you to create quick content, get published, gain leadership experience, and perhaps earn some extra cash, all from the comfort of your own dorm! I don’t know about you guys, but I’m thinking any advantage we can get over Parsons, the better ;)

Things People Without A Typical 'Boy Name' or 'Girl Name' Know To Be True

All names should be "unisex names."

Tulane University

1112

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

14 Things The Extremely Pale Are Tired Of Hearing

I get it... I'm pale.

University of Vermont

2551

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
