American fashion has evolved and changed naturally over time, I offer my argument that many immigrants have impacted or led these changes, because of foreign culture being brought into their work, leading to a more inclusive and globalized industry. Fashion is an ever-changing industry, in which de la Renta, Dior, Chanel, and Wintour are constantly designing, writing, sewing, making, modeling, and so forth. American fashion, specifically, is globally watched, and is considered one of the leaders in fashion. America is the place where iconic looks were discovered and made their marks; however, most of these looks and famous icons were not native to the land of the free. Oscar de la Renta, from the Dominican Republic, included aspects of his homeland in many of his designs. Christian Dior, from France, aimed to capture the allure of Paris in his classic dresses. Coco Chanel, from France, wanted to break the mold of a tight, constrained figure in women’s fashion. And Anna Wintour, from Great Britain, took a global fashion magazine into the 21st century.

Each of these individuals, through their journey of immigration and their life in America, has greatly impacted the fashion industry. Fashion is a great representation of America: it is a melting pot of different cultures and styles, which have come together to form new, unique cultures and styles, which would not have been possible otherwise, and which are now seen on a global scale. With modern technology and communication, industries such as fashion can now be seen all over the world. Because of this, people from hundreds of other countries are watching the American fashion industry evolve, and looking to it for inspiration. This is further demonstrated in my blog, where it can be seen that not only are Americans united, but people all around the world, by being able to express themselves the same way, through fashion, which is their common language.

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.
