After studying countless back to school articles about what's in for fall fashion, what cuts will best flatter my body type, and how to dress to impress at a new school, I've compiled a list of the top ten things you should avoid wearing on your first day of classes by all means. I know fashion is subjective, but from junior to freshman, I'm just trying to help you out. After all, the experts at Cosmo and Teen Vogue are clearly more qualified than you are to pick what you should be wearing. Here they are, ten things to not wear on your first day of college if you want to avoid embarrassing yourself.

1. A top you don't like

2. Pants you don't like

3. Shoes you don't like

4. A dress you don't like

5. A bag you don't like

6. Glasses you don't like

7. Jewelry you don't like

8. A jacket you don't like

9. A hat you don't like

10. Anything you don't like, just because you think it's what you should be wearing

Don't worry so much about "looking like a freshman" or "trying too hard". Wear the clothes you like. No one cares that much about what you're wearing, so you might as well like it.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
