The Visor: It's Back, And It's Partially Shading The Heads Of Men Near And Far

Style: A popular Taylor Swift song or the reason every pair of cargo shorts on the planet should be burned? Either way, it’s important, but today let’s talk fashion (sorry, Tay). I know how hard it is to keep up with today’s trends, trust me, I just recently donated my Crocs to Goodwill. Lucky for you, my beloved reader, I’m here to keep you in the know. There is a not-so-new but definitely improved trend that is resurfacing slowly but surely. It’s the perfect noggin accessory if you’re trying to shade your face but still get a little head tan, and it’s suitable for both men and women. It’s the visor, it’s back, and it’s partially shading the heads of frat boys near and far. I may not be a professional fashionista, but when it comes to this trend, let me be your primary ad-VISOR.

Hats are interesting accessories. They are made to cover our hair, but we love hair. I like to think my face is pretty, but without these strings on my head, I might have a few less Instagram followers (@madisonm3795). Heck, dads buy a new car upon the loss of a few follicles, so why not cherish those luscious locks while you can? That’s the beauty of the visor. Rock your do and shade your face too! (Trademarking that one, so don’t even think about it, Nike). The era of flow and man buns is upon us, so rock two trends and the ladies may or may not flock your way.

Okay, so some random girl online is telling you to wear a topless hat. If you think about it, that’s weird and you should stop reading now, but you won’t, because I am not the only supporter of this trend. Take a look.

Oh yes, it’s Bradley Cooper. This American has been sniping hearts of ladies everywhere since the beginning of time, and he does it with the help of his trusty visor. This picture says, "despite wearing cargo pants, I still have style. Check out my visor and sick flow".


Next up is Bubba Watson. This left-handed professional golfer has won the Masters two times (that prize is about $1.5 million per win) and never thinks twice about doing it in style. The fact that he has so much talent and is extremely fashionable sort of softens the blow of his nickname being “Bubba."

Here we have head coach, Tim Beckman, of the University of Illinois football team. Now some of you may think that he shouldn’t be included on a list of “who to dress like” but let me tell you something, this guy is living the good life. As the highest-paid University of Illinois employee as well as the state of Illinois’ highest-paid employee, Tim has it made. His job may be difficult considering he has to deal with making plays, angry alumni who are shocked every year by our lack of wins, and being in charge of a program who has blessed us with the phrase “A drinking school with a football problem," but the guy gets to play a little Friday Night Lights every day and go home to his giant house and count his money. So, in reality, we all want to be him and the first step is adapting his style.

Finally, there’s this guy. I’m not going to lie and say I didn’t just type “Frat guy wearing visor” on Google images, because I definitely did, but the beauty of this photo overrules that. This guy has it all together. From being a patriot, having above average legs and rocking the barely buttoned shirt, to his awesome cooler, assertive drinking stance, and a little fashionable headgear to seal the deal, he encompasses cool. If this guy likes visors you should, too. (Note the alternative way of wearing fashion accessory)

Well, there you have it, folks. A few prime examples of why you too should a achieve greatness with something as simple as a half hat. The visor is a fashion symbol, a game changer, and a confidence booster, so go out there and velcro on some swag.

Also, here is a picture of my little brother and I rocking the highest level of style at Sea World circa 2003. Foreshadowing at its finest, ladies and gentlemen.

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.
