10 Clothing Brands I Didn't Know Existed Until Going To A&M

Before A&M, I stuck with brands common in my area, it wasn't until I came here that I realized I was living under a rock.

10 Clothing Brands I Didn't Know Existed Until Going To A&M

.

1. Kendra Scott

This jewelry line caught my eye because every girl I would encounter was wearing a Drusy necklace. The Drusy necklace that caught my eye was hot pick stone, from that moment on, I knew I had to get one of my own.

2. Tory Burch

Cute little sandals on every girl's feet. I've seen a range from black to nude to white. Never would I have imagined this was a brand, nevertheless a brand as big as it is.

Tory Burch

3. Birkenstocks

Also known as Birks. Not a huge fan, but I did hear that they are comfortable and can be worn with or without socks. There's lots of debate between which is better Birkenstocks or Chacos. Which brings me to....

Birkenstocks

4. Chacos

Also not a huge fan. BUT they do have a strap so your feet as safe inside this shoe. I've also heard they can be water shoes? The more you know.

Chacos

5. Comfort Colors

First of all, all of the previously stated brands are HUGE in sororities, especially comfort colors. So you could only imagine how shocked all my sisters were when I asked what comfort colors were??

6. Lululemon

Yes, I had never heard of Lululemons before 2017. I kept seeing girls wearing super cute leggings and sports bras and when I'd ask them where they had gotten them, they'd answer by simply saying, "Lulus!" I kept asking myself how Lulu knew so many people...

7. Patagonia

Their sweaters are super soft let me tell you. When someone first mentioned Patagonia to me I was like "Pata-who??" There's that.

8. Yeti

These water bottles keep your water cold for such a long time AND you're reducing plastic so you're saving the environment. They come in super cute colors too. 10/10 approve.

9. Vineyard Vines

I saw the logo everywhere and it's a cute whale!

10. Not a brand, but monogram everything

Car decals, bookbags, shirts, hats, wallets, You name it, it's monogrammed. I'm surprised shoelaces haven't been monogrammed yet. It's always first name initial, last name initial, THEN middle name initial. Talk about confusion = me.


I feel like I'm ten years older than I actually am because I had never heard of these brands. I came to College Station and was in shock and found myself asking everyone around me where these brands came from. I did indeed grow up under a rock. Needless to say, I've been cultured. I own about half of the items on this list. I don't think I could ever own Birkenstocks or Chacos. Don't get me wrong, they're cute but not my preferred shoe selection. I've attached links to each of these brands website if you find yourself wanting to splurge a bit or like me have no idea what some of these brands are.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
