A Guide To The College Girl Trend

Because life would be boring if we all looked as if we cared!

A Guide To The College Girl Trend
Courtney Carver

Needless to say that a college girl has a strange sense of fashion. On one day, we are dressed to the nines with dresses and pearls and the next day you are lucky if we even changed clothes since getting out of bed and 99 percent of the time, it is the latter. Here are some of the essentials of the College Girl Trend:

1. Nike Shorts

I'll start with probably one of the most important item in completing the College Girl Trend. These shorts, regardless of if the girl is athletic or not, are found on almost every girl out there. The even better part is that the match everything and come in just about any color imaginable, not to mention they are by far the most comfortable shorts ever worn!

2. LEGGINGS!

Some will argue that I should have started the list with this, but being as it is too hot to wear these right now, they will go second. These are basically the closest you can come to no pants, without wearing no pants. Legging Season 2016 is right around the corner, y'all better get ready!

3. Two sizes too big T-shirts

This is essential to pair with the two items above. This trend has to be one of my favorites so far! Either I can wear the new T-shirt I just bought last week or the one I have had for years and it does not even make a difference. The best part about it being oversized is that it is so comfortable. It also makes you look so much smaller than you actually are, which is always a plus. Am I right or Am I right?

4. Monograms Everywhere!

Most college girls have atleast one thing monogrammed with their initials. (Or like me with half the things I own have mine on them.) I guess if people don't know our names, maybe they can know us by our initials?

5. A Classy Pair of Earrings

A classy pair of earrings can go with anything. They give us a false sense of hope, that we maybe are dressing a little nicer.

6. Makeup and Hair From the Night before.

And finally to complete every college girl's outfit, you top it off with the hair and make-up from the night before. Cut us some slack we stayed up *Cough* *Cough* "studying" until 3 a.m. and have to be back in class by 8 a.m.? Raise your hand if you have ever felt personally victimized by 8 a.m.'s?! The best part now is that technology has advanced so far, that we can finally apply makeup and cover our hair with Snapchat filters. So the rest of the world (who hopefully won't see us in person), may actually think we got our lives together!

All of these may seem silly or almost like we don't care (probably the latter), but us college girls know that really all that matters is what is on the inside: a full heart and a even fuller stomach of pizza!

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"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.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
