Oscars Fashion 2017: First Impressions
The Week

I'm writing this as the Oscars are beginning, and I've been taking notes on all of the red carpet looks I've seen so far. Here are my first impressions about the best and worst of 2017 Oscars fashion: the good, the bad, and the ugly.

Best Dressed, The Women: Hailee Steinfeld and Taraji P. Henson

 

Seeing Hailee Steinfeld in her sheer floral dress made my jaw drop. I love everything about her look, from her hair to her makeup to every ruffle on her gown. At only 20 years old, Hailee Steinfeld is already making huge waves on the Oscar red carpet.

Taraji P. Henson can't go unmentioned. She looks absolutely amazing in her classic black gown and glimmering necklace, and will definitely be turning heads all night.

Best Dressed, The Men: Mahershala Ali and Dev Patel

 

In his black on black ensemble, with just a pop of color in his pocket square, Mahershala Ali looks super sophisticated and sleek. Dev Patel, wearing a black and white suit, looks fresh and classy. Both of them definitely hit the mark this year.

More Favorite Looks, The Women: From Chrissy Teigen to Octavia Spencer

Chrissy Teigen in Roberto Cavalli and Halle Berry in Versace.

Octavia Spencer in Marchesa and Kirsten Dunst in Dior.

Honorable Mentions, The Women: Zuri Hall and Luciana Barroso

Zuri Hall was one of the presenters on the E! News red carpet coverage, and I could not stop staring at her gorgeous purple floral gown. And Matt Damon's wife, Luciana Barroso, looked absolutely incredible in her gown and definitely deserved a mention.

Honorable Mentions, The Men: Lin-Manuel Miranda and Andrew Garfield l 

Adorned with the ACLU blue ribbon, Lin-Manuel Miranda looked dapper and humble on the red carpet. Andrew Garfield kept it classic with a black tux and big bow tie.

Worst Dressed, The Women: Dakota Johnson and Scarlett Johansson

Both of these gowns just missed the mark tonight. Dakota Johnson was wearing the wrong color and fabric, and the cut of her gown looked sloppy and old fashioned. Scarlett Johansson didn't look nearly formal enough for the Oscars, and the cut and pattern of her dress seemed to swallow her whole. Also, her dark, studded belt clashed too much with the dress.

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.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions. So, if you are aware that you’re a Starbucks addict as well, or maybe you need to check to see if you’re an addict, here are seven ways to tell.

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. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
