I am so over this cold Cali weather. I am ready to dust off all of my spring clothing, aren't you? This spring you will see a lot of lovely trends hitting the sales floor of your favorite stores.

Here are 6 of the best trends for the upcoming Spring 2016 season:

1. Romanticism:

The Romanticism trend is very elegant and lacy, and it will take you back to the 1800's in Europe. Floral prints with lace lining will make you feel and look elegantly chic! Every day will be like you're seeking a date in the secret garden.

2. Sports Luxe:

The sporty, tailored trend will be another look making an impact this Spring. These one/two-piece separates will be perfectly comfortable to wear, while also being super chic for a cute dinner date or a night on the town.

3. Preppy Nautical:

This trend seems to make it into the Spring trends often. Hampton beach vibe clothing is seen a lot at J. Crew, Vineyard Vines, and Banana Republic during the Spring time.

4. Sleeveless Coats:

This trend has been going on since Fall 2015 and seems to be continuing onto Spring 2016. It is great for business attire workdays. With easygoing fabrics and pastel colors, I see how this outerwear will be making big buzz this Spring.

5. The T-Shirt Dress:

You will see the t-shirt dress a lot this Spring season. It is perfect for a casual day out, but can also be dressed up for a night on the town. The easy going fabrics, neutral colors, and loose materials hint at the fact that Spring seems to all about comfort this season.

6. A-Line Skirts:

The A-line skirt is a Spring favorite. You can dress them up or down. They are a Spring must-have that makes every girl look and feel pretty.

25 Thoughts Everyone Has When Registering For Classes

May the odds be ever in your favor.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

Western New England University

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.
