And the winner of the 2018 Color of the Year is .... *drum roll please* ULTRA VIOLET!

We are blessed to have this rich shade of violet be the front-runner for the latest trends. This royal shade makes any skin tone shine brighter than the smile that completes the Queen draped in this. The classic summery bohemian style to simply posh to ultra edgy, this shade fits every lifestyle. Here are seven ways to incorporate this shade into your wardrobe.

1. Dresses on dresses on dresses

It's a summer must-have: the perfect sundress. Whether it is loosely fit or tight around your luscious curves this dress will make you shine beyond belief. Dress up with chunky sandals or beauty waves for a laid-back vibe or gold t-strap pumps and matching hair pieces for the perfect wedding guest dress.

2. Bag it up

Bags are a must for those long days at the beach and to dress you up at the tiki bar later in the evening. From Totes to petite crossbody's, you will have the perfect pop of color. Pair with holographic keychains or a soft silk scarf to complete the look.

3. Throw some shade

Good shade, that is ... Protect your beautiful eyes with ultra violet-tinted shades. Mirror sunglasses will always be a reigning fad. Stand out with this unique style to complete your everyday look.

4. Paint on some eye-catching makeup

There is nothing more satisfying than getting the perfect blend of your shimmery eyeshadow... OK, maybe getting the perfect winged eyeliner is. Deep purple makes every eye color pop, especially with the addition of chrome glitter. Spruce up your look with a matching lip color or purple high lighter.

5. Show your locks some love

Doesn't every girl dream to dye their hair some crazy beautiful color? I know I wanted purple all throughout my hair. Dark purple highlights to whole head coverage is still in the spotlight this season. Go safe with a semi-permanent or go big at your local salon. Pair with butterfly clips and floral accents to give you a delicate fairy vibe.

6. Decorate those claws

Ultra violet purple belongs on nails. It's shimmer and deep hue makes every skin tone pop. This shade is not too dark to wear in the summer, as it changes pigmentation as different light hits it. Shape your nails any way you want for the classic bad *ss look.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.
