Baby Got Back

Hate to see you go, but love to watch you leave.

Baby Got Back
For Love and Lemons

A moment that sticks in my mind is a conversation that I had years ago with my Aunt Robin. I remember her explaining how beautiful she thought backs were. 'Backs?' I thought. It seemed so random!

But picture this: Breakfast at Tiffany’s begins, Audrey Hepburn strolling through New York City, coffee and croissant in hand. After lusting over a Tiffany’s showcase, she saunters off. Only this time, the 5 strands of pearls draped from the front of her neck and the Givenchy LBD that scoops across her shoulder blades showing juuuust enough skin before connecting in the middle of her back is replaced with a straight cut garment that leaves so much to the imagination that it doesn’t even exist. Not quite as sophisticated, huh?

Although a little more timeless than trendy, embracing the beauty of your back is something that goes so far under-the-radar that it’s hard to even capture its brilliance. Focusing on your back creates the sweet spot where sexy meets elegance.

Check out a few of these pieces from our favorite designers!

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
