College 2015 Fashion Trends

Spring has sprung and frats have started spilling out of their dingy houses and onto their “fratios". Frat boys and Srat girls have started folding up those jeans and leggings in hopes of shorts weather on its way. When it comes to college, fashion tends to be in a completely different hemisphere than the regular world. I say this because not only are we broke college kids, but the laziness is at the top of its game around campus. Here 10 fashion trends that you can add to your spring college closet and not break the bank. In between winter and summer, it's hard to find just the right outfits to fit even the laziest of Mondays and the craziest of Fridays.

  • Ankle Strap Heels – Every girl needs to own these. They dress up the regular, old flat and make it fancy for every occasion. You can pair with a formal dress or even with some cuffed jeans to run to class in. They make flats more fun; and as a tall girl, I am extremely excited about this new spring trend.

  • Rolled Up Boyfriend Jeans – Now more popular than ever. They are not only extremely comfy, but look like you barely worked on your classic look. You look carefree and relaxed in these jeans, which pair nicely with a relaxed, fitted at the arms, neutral colored shirt. Also looks great with crop tops and basically anything else in your closet. Distressed is even better and rolled at the ends to finish the look off. I've seen these around campus a lot more this spring.

  • Bright Lace Up Shoes – Patterns, patterns, patterns. Shoes that make a statement are what you should be looking for. They add personality and make a classic, basic outfit into something youthful and cute. My favorite site I've been addicted to recently is Bucket Feet.

  • Boho Shift Dress – Forever 21 brought in an entire collection of these for this spring. Boho has never been so popular and everyone is embracing it fully. I love boho shift dresses because you can throw a jean jacket over it to make it more casual or pair it with a solid colored clutch and go out to the bars.

  • Fresh Florals – Of course spring brings in more florals than ever. Try pairing neutral floraled shoes and purse with a basic outfit or cute floral lace shorts with a slouchy shirt. You can play around with this trend and use it every year.
  • Gingham Shorts and Skirts – I was extremely surprised to see this become a spring trend. Gingham dresses, scarves, and skirts are a popular 2015 spring trend this year. Any gingham patterns that are light and pastel are game.
  • 90s Flats – Let's bring back some 90s trends. Chunky, strappy, flats are seen all over the fashion magazines for this spring. The chunkier the better. They also look really great with boyfriend jeans.

  • Midi skirt and crop top combo – Need a dress for formal? Go no further and pair a cute strappy crop top with a bold midi skirt to make the perfect, mature outfit. There are so many ways to pair these two great pieces to make one, go-to look. Wearing this to formal makes you look sophisticated and shows that you can put one hell-of-an outfit together.
  • Bright Handbags with Basic Colors – Bright shoes and handbags that clash somehow look so great together. It's that pop of color that everyone in the fashion world is looking to achieve. If it's not handbags or shoes, it's a bland looking outfit with fiercely colored nails or eye shadow.
  • Deep V Summer Dresses – I love the deep v. Showing off some cleavage has never looked sexier. Either for formal or just around town, deep v dresses and rompers look great. Amazon sells great bras that work like wonder with deep v dresses so you don't ever have to stress.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.

One of the scariest things we will ever face in our life is going to college. Many of us move away to a new town, join new organizations, and make new friends. We are expected to study, have a social life, relationships, maybe work, and be healthy. It seems pretty easy to do, and in high school all we wanted to do was graduate and move on to this next chapter of our lives. If you are in high school, here are some things that you can learn from before you get to college. If you have already been through your freshman year of college, hopefully you can relate to the things I have learned in college.
