Pinterest just released their predicted fashion and beauty trends for the next year. Impress your friends and jump on these trends to stay ahead of the game!

Fashion Trends

Throwback Kicks

Sneakers are in once again! Look out for new takes on classic sneakers from the past to complete your street look.

Athletic Clothes Never Looked So Good

Lazy people--like me--rejoice! Comfortable workout clothes are going to get chic and acceptable to wear out of the dorm. Hopefully everyone can finally agree that leggings do, indeed, count as pants.

Belt Bags

Sort of like a glorified fanny pack, these bags might just replace the classic cross-body in 2016.

Two of a Kind

For your next night out, consider looking for matching sets instead of a dress. The matching top and skirt or short sets are a new take for those special events.

Statement Sunnies

Move over statement necklaces, colorful, patterned sunglasses will be the new way to make your outfit complete.

Manly Maroon

If your guy is up to date on the trends for 2016, he already knows that maroon, burgundy, and other warm, deep reds are going to be all the rage. Good luck getting him into a maroon suit, though.

Forget Pattern Rules

Stripes and polka dots? Pinterest says yes! Try pairing some pieces with different patterns or textures next year.

Works for Him and Her

Now you have an excuse to raid your man's closet! Pieces that once were only for men are now working for women as well. Androgynous styles will be everywhere in 2016.

Capsule Wardrobes

If you're looking to completely update your closet this year, consider investing in a capsule wardrobe. Build your own by buying pieces that are neutral and easy to pair with the rest of your collection, and you'll have a million outfit possibilities.

Pretty in White

Pinterest predicts that brides are going to look towards icy shades of white and gray for their 2016 weddings.

Beauty Trends

Move Over Ariel

If you're feeling gutsy this new year, consider channeling your inner mermaid and dying your hair pastel, beachy shades.

Coffin Nails

You can thank Kylie Jenner for this new nail trend. This new nail shape is expected to a lot more popular (and practical) than the talon nail trend of 2015.

Bringing Back Brooches

Looking for some inspiration for hair for prom, semi, or a wedding? Take a look at your mom's or grandma's old jewelry. Vintage hair brooches add some sparkle to your look.

Naturally Trendy

2016 is the year to embrace what makes you beautiful. Natural hair is beautiful hair. Hopefully this trend takes off this year and remains popular for many years to come.

Hello Adele

Everyone saw that flawless contour in her Hello music video. Master the Adele Eye for 2016.

Vintage Grooming Kits

Struggling to find a last-minute gift for your boyfriend? Look no further than vintage grooming and shaving kits. This way, he'll be ahead of the trend.

Eyebrows Still on Fleek

This trend isn't going anywhere. Big, beautiful brows are still in and will be in for a long time to come.

Creating your schedule for the upcoming semester can be an exciting process. You have the control to decide if you want to have class two-days a week or five-days a week. You get to check things off of your requirement checklist. It's an opportunity for a fresh start with new classes (which you tell yourself you'll never skip.) This process, which always starts out so optimistic, can get frustrating really quickly. Here are 25 thoughts you have when registering for classes.

10 Thoughts Of A 5th Year Senior

What about those of us who don't do it all in four years?

"College will be the best four years of your life" is a phrase that we have all heard growing up. College is painted as a magical place to us while we are in high school. A place you go to learn, meet your best friends and probably have the time of your life while all of this is going down. Four whirlwind years, where everything that you've known changes and you start to learn what it means to live on your own, have a job, etc. But what about those of us who don't do this all in four years? Major changes, hard courses, switching schools, career paths changing, these are just a handful of factors that could extend your four years to five, six or seven. There is nothing wrong with taking extra time to graduate, but returning as a fifth-year is a little different. Most of your best friends have most likely graduated and moved and while you may be one of the oldest undergraduates on campus, you might feel as awkward as a freshmen. A world that became home and comfortable to you is still there but it's slightly different than you've known it to be and you have to find a groove to fall into. These are thoughts you'll have as you look ahead to returning to your college campus, with a victory lap planned.

You can't say that no one told you life was gonna be this way.

In the 12 years since it went off the air, "Friends" continues to be adored by millions. The show that gave generations unrealistic expectations about love (or should I say lobsters?) and New York City apartments had a charming cast of characters that everyone could relate to at some point or another. Here are 17 times Ross, Monica, Joey, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel accurately described life.

11 Times Aubrey Plaza Described Sophomore Year

"I don't want to do things. I want to do not things."

Aubrey Plaza is one of my favorite humans in Hollywood. She's honest, blunt, unapologetic, and hilarious. I just started my sophomore year of college, and found that some of her best moments can accurately describe the start of the school year.

1. When your advisor tells you that you should declare a major soon.

2. Seeing the lost and confused freshmen and remembering that was you a short year ago, and now being grateful you know the ins and outs of the campus.

3. Going to the involvement fair to sign up for more clubs knowing that you are already too involved.

4. When you actually do the reading required for the first class.

5. Seeing your friends for the first time since last semester.

6. When you're already drowning in homework during syllabus week.

7. Realizing you don't have the same excitement for classes as you did as a freshman.

8. Going home and seeing people from high school gets weirder the older you get.
