College is the place of freedom and few responsibilities. You have the flexibility to be who you are and define yourself they way you’ve always truly wanted to be expressed. Therefore, when you wake up in the morning, the first decision most people make is the following: What on earth should I wear today?

The first impact on your decision should be the weather. Now, if you have an early class, it will most likely be fairly cold, but then midday it could be 85 degrees! So, it’s best to be prepared.

Another influence that helps decide what to wear is my motivation. Do I want to impress all my classmates and strut my stuff all over campus? Or do I want to stay comfortable and be able to take a nap after class?

Not only does the indecisive weather make it awfully difficult to plan a decent outfit, but some days, I have the motivation of a kindergartener and I don't want to wear anything but my pajamas!

Aside from the weather, and how I feel that day, other influences on my outfit are how many classes I have and the different people in my classes! If I have three classes that day and then none the next, I might as well look my best if I’m going to see my friends and save my lazy outfit for the day when no one sees me!

We also can all agree that if there’s a cute boy in one of our classes, you bet that we’ll dress to impress despite any kind of weather or lack of motivation!

Other than the struggles, fall is the best time for cute outfits and it gets easier to find a fast outfit when it’s always cold out because then you just choose from five different giant sweaters and you’re ready to go!

These are my worst struggles while getting ready in the morning; what are some of yours?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
