“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.” – Coco Chanel

Fashion takes creativity. Fashion allows you to be unique. If you happen to give two people a shirt and jeans, they wouldn’t wear it the same way via accessories, etc. Fashion is a way to define yourself and allow your creativity to spiral. Fashion is everywhere.

What exactly is art? Art is self-expression through creativity and it involves how one thing became it. You look at a piece of artwork and think of the artist who put their time and effort in it. I personally look at clothing in awe wondering who the designer is that created this artwork. Fashion exhibits around the world are surrounded by artwork and are appreciated the same way. You can go and view these exhibits and appreciate them, just like any other kinds of art. Art takes on self-expression in a human creation and visual form. Society has limited their admiration towards art bluntly, yet we appreciate it everyday by putting clothes on or viewing someone’s artwork via their outfit.

Every part of clothing has been made in some way. We don’t appreciate how skillful you must be to create an effective garment. We really need to take time to bow down to those who create haute couture and high-end fashion. Most of us don't encounter high-end or couture clothing due to the uniqueness that comes along with it. However, while looking at a beautiful couture gown, we don’t acknowledge the craftsmanship that came along with it.

“Everyday is a fashion show, and the world is a runway.” – Coco Chanel

It's typical for one to look at a fashion work and think it's odd or not your typical style; however, it is an original piece of artwork that has a story behind it. The designer who designed that original piece of fashion started from scratch and made that design to be the way it is today through many hours of time, thought and work put in. Growing up, I always thought art was a drawing, a painting or a piece of work that was made from scratch through creativity. Fashion follows through all the same steps and doesn’t get half as much appreciation. Fashion has evolved through time and slowly loses the impact and appreciation of overall fashion artwork. At New York Fashion Week, designers take this time to share the art they designed and plan to sell, typically leave people who appreciate fashion in awe. Yet, people who aren't involved in fashion turn their heads and never appreciate the artwork in NYFW.

There is so much more to fashion than sewing and coming up with ideas. You must know the right colors, psychology behind the human mind, future predictions of fashion movements, etc. It isn't easy and most people are blind to that.

For those of you who don’t appreciate fashion, take a moment in think about the amount of work put in and how much talent is involved in the works of these artworks.

Here are 10 photos that will blow your mind in the world of high-end fashion.

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.
