With so many options of what to wear, it can be hard to decide. You could do a red shirt with jeans and that’s pretty average, but why be average when you can stand out? It is time to deck yourself out in red, white and blue and remember those who fought for those colors to represent freedom.

First, start with a shirt. Whether you like muscle tee’s or button ups you can’t go wrong with an American flag shirt.


Next, it’s time for shorts. You can be subtle or bold depending on your taste. You could go for a nice pair of shorts with American flag decorations:

Or you could rock some amazingly made American flag shorts:

Then comes the socks and shoes. Now this one can be tricky, because there are a lot of options. There are heels, shoes, high tops, Toms and cowboy boots. Anything you want, you can have. But if you want to be stylish nothing beats these:

Now it is time to really bring in the look with some nice accessories. Whether it be sunglasses:


Or a nice headband:

Or maybe some nice Mickey ears:

Or an awesome fanny pack:


Or even a nice cape:

With so many options out there, there is no reason you shouldn’t be all decked out in American flag apparel for Memorial Day. It is time to say thanks to those who fought and remember those who lost their lives for this flag, so this is not a time to be subtle with your accessories. Wear your red, white and blue with pride.

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.

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?
