All college girls typically shop at the same stores for every thing and every season. And as much as we LOVE a nice Urban Outfitters fuzzy coat, we can also branch out a little and start shopping at some not-so-popular but still v trendy stores - you would be surprised about how many hidden gems we can find at stores our moms shop at.

1. J. Crew

Ah, J. Crew, the store I personally always dreaded walking into when cruising around the mall with my mom. Looking a little more closely, however, the seemingly all-thing-preppy brand actually has great (and I mean really, really great) things for girls all ages. One of my personal fav things to shop for at J. Crew is shoooeeessss (of course). Shop their boots and booties (especially Chelsea rain boots ;) ) for your next shoe purchase.

2. Bershka

If you like shopping outside the United States, you have undoubtedly heard of one of my favorite stores of all time: Bershka. From the same father company as ZARA, Bershka has everything from workout wear to raincoats and every single thing is so cute and so affordable. Unfortunately, the only US store is located way too far from me - all the way in NYC. But, they ship to the US so start shopping! The sale already started :)

3. Anthropologie

For those boho pieces, we can't live without, Urban Outfitters and Free People aren't always the only ways to go. Anthro is actually from the same father company as our two favs and has pieces that I would even say have better all-around quality. I'll admit it isn't the most affordable, but shop their sale and you will for sure find something you'll want to splurge on. Channel your inner Serena van der Woodsen and shop their sweaters to be a fashionista this winter.

4. Cali Blue Clothing 

I just found this store and have been obsessing ever since. Their collections are so consistent with every new trend and I cannot get enough of it. Shop their latest trends and get 10% off your first order! It's seriously a win-win sitch in every way.

5. Aritzia

Really well-known to some and really not to others, Aritzia is another store full of gems you'll great not buying this winter (and every other season, too!). If you're a ZARA fan (like me hehe) then you'll love their minimalistic style. They are also having a sale right now so get shopping.

A Few Thoughts Every College Freshman Has

The transition into adulthood is never easy

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.
