First 'The Dress,' Now 'The Jacket'

Do you remember “the dress?" You know the one that no one could figure out the true colors of? The one that made you question if you should go to the eye doctor? The one that caused full on debates and probably destroyed a few friendships? So, was the dress white and gold or blue and black? I saw the dress as blue and brown, which apparently wasn’t even an option and made me question if I have been seeing everything in the wrong colors for my entire life.

Well, there is now a jacket that is recreating the dress scenario. It’s an Adidas jacket that some see as blue and white while others see as black and brown and it’s making everyone freak out all over again. The picture was first posted on Tumblr and the caption read "I hate to make a new blue/black white/gold dress meme but my friend has this jacket and she says it's white and blue but I see black and brown pls tell me what you see."


I personally see the jacket as blue and white and I’ve tried looking at it in different lighting, from different angles and on different screens but I always see it the same.There’s a science behind why you see the dress or the jacket as certain colors and no it’s not because you need to get your eyes checked. The reason we each see the jacket or the dress in different colors is because of how the brain perceives colors in daylight.

It has to do with wavelengths and light and a bunch of other brain stuff, but long story short we see colors differently. Usually, it's not noticeable, but in specific circumstances, like the dress and the jacket, we all can see colors differently. So, next time you are trying on clothes that are questionable colors you should probably ask a friend or two how it looks before you step out of the house.

So is it white and blue or black and brown? You decide.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
