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.

College is a crazy, beautiful, amazing whirlwind. It is highly popularized in television and movies, but not necessarily in the most accurate way. Yes, there's frats, dingy dorms, raging house parties—but there's also a lot that people fail to mention.

1. If you thought that you knew how to study, you're wrong.

All of your classes aren't taught every day, so professors aren't on your case constantly about reading and memorizing material. Once you get back that "questionable" first exam grade, you'll kick it into high gear and figure out what works for you

I've been a bleach blonde for over a year now, and let me tell you, it is a lifestyle. More hair appointments, longer showers, and special shampoo. But it is totally worth it!

1. Mentally preparing yourself to convince your hair dresser that white is the way to go.

2. Or the anxiety of what could go wrong by bleaching your hair at home.

3. You could either become a ginger

4. Or a pixie

5. The face you make in the mirror when you take off your towel to unveil the perfect white strands.

6. Taking a million selfies the day you bleached it, because you know your roots will be back in literally 2 days.

7. Having to get bangs or a big chop because your hair is so damaged.

8. Having orange highlights in between touch-ups.

9. Going out for a drink afterwards to debut your updated look.

Despite the struggles, you love your platinum blonde hair! You make sure Instagram knows it, too. You don't need a filter, because the color is flawless by itself!

Finals: just thinking about them gives you anxiety. Only two weeks separate you from summer, but they're the longest of the semester. There's a familiarity to this season, now that you have had so many testing cycles under your belt. But that doesn't quell the ever present stress to pass your finals and your classes. Even better, as a package deal during these wonderful weeks, you get to wake up early to study and you get to take exams that can begin anytime from 7 A.M. to 7 P.M. Now that we have established that this week is not fun, here are some super relatable moments that punctuate finals week.

I've been at this college thing for almost three and a half years, and while I thought that high school was truly the lowest point of my existence, I'm beginning to realize that it was a walk in the park. Like, I miss the days when the biggest white lie I told my parents was my made up excuse about being late for fourth period. These days, the white lies are a tad more complex, and as ashamed as I am to admit it, I've definitely told a few of these.
