If Coffee, Yoga, And The Color Brown Were An Aesthetic...

A look into one of my aesthetic inspirations.

Many times I've been scrolling through Pinterest, seeing all the outfits and lifestyle choices, and wanting to throw my whole wardrobe away so I can fit THAT look. I'm inspired to start a whole new lifestyle change, move to that beach or that foreign country, just to fit the aesthetic I fell in love with.

All this to say, I've done this so many times, I've started to recognize a pattern in the same few aesthetics that I often to dream about. It's perfectly acceptable to want our lives to lead different vibes at one time, and there's nothing saying we can't be an angelic creature one week, and a stone-cold heartbreaker the next.

The aesthetics that I choose to describe through the next few weeks might not be relatable to every person, but it may be an inspiration to others to find out what vibes make their soul happy. So for this first week, I decided to start with a simple, minimalistic aesthetic.

While I'll put an additional little comment after each picture, the main inspiration of this aesthetic is to feel healthy. And not the type of healthy that requires trips to the gym five times a week, but the kind that makes the heart feel full. When I think of this theme, I think of the moment when you wake up after eight hours of sleep in fresh sheets, with a fluffy white comforter wrapped around you and a fluffy dog ready to cuddle you. Please enjoy a look into one version of myself!

Simple, healthy food.

I'm sure each time I'd sit down to eat blueberries, it wouldn't look like this, but the idea of always being fueled by colorful food sounds nice. I think the idea of eating healthy is so nice, but it's definitely one of the harder habits to stay committed to. I know when I eat healthy, it affects my physical health along with my mental health and I have so much more energy.

Sweet company.

There's nothing like being surrounded by people that bring you joy, and for me, that's at least one furry friend. The boy is optional.

A clear mind.

Sometimes journaling isn't always practical, and we may not have much on our mind, but the habit of writing things down is undoubtedly helpful. Making sure I'm at peace is so important.

A balanced body.

The idea of this is to simply take care of ourselves. Our mind and body are equally important. Neutral-colored clothing is also the key to this aesthetic because it keeps everything simple.

Loving friendships.

Kind of like good company, the idea here is to have comfortable and loving surroundings. I like the idea of keeping a few small friends, with deep and heartfelt connections.

A lively home.

Just because I want to live a quiet and reserved life doesn't mean it needs to be drab. Having simple plants and a sweet dog keeps it lively at any moment, and keeps you company even after guests have come and gone.

"I want to thank Google, Wikipedia, and whoever else invented copy and paste. Thank you."

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way. It’s finals, the dreaded time of the semester when we all realize we should have been paying attention in class instead of literally doing anything else but that. Everyone has to take them, and yes, unfortunately, they are inevitable. But just because they are here and inevitable does not mean they’re peaches and cream and full of rainbows. Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
