In a world where dressing to look good for a boss, a date, or just to get that wonderfully addictive feeling of being invincible when looking great, it is important to take note of what you wear. Here are some tips to help avoid those dreaded fashion flops.

1. Sweatpants are a big "No!"

Sorry for yelling this at you, but I feel the need to stress the fact that sweatpants are looked upon as lazy. While it is perfect for those people who pull "all-nighters" in college, it's an eyesore to the rest of us. Believe me, I have been in the "wears sweatpants in public" club, but being in college means being an adult, and adults don't wear sweatpants anywhere except in the comfort of their own homes.

2. Polos are always welcome.

T-shirts are acceptable for casual days but polos are considered a step up in the realm of class when trying to look snazzy.

3.Socks and Sandals... is that a thing?

I was never an athlete, but even I have talked to athletes and some of them have wondered who in the world thought it was a good idea to wear socks and sandals together. So please, don't. Close toed shoes with socks are great. Sandals only in the summer or only in your dreams.

4.Sweaters and cardigans vs. hoodies.

This is a tough battle to win. Hoodies are great, especially for cold weather since they are perfect for those quiet days in. Cardigans look great with a polo or nice shirt. Sweaters, whether they be festive or otherwise, are nice. Wearing hoodies to slightly more toned up events is really frowned upon however and is something a lot of people should note.

5.Khakis, the best defense against bad fashion.

It's true. Khakis immediately add a nice formal look when you are aiming for one. Wearing khakis to interviews is expected in society now at days. People are not going to hire you if you don't look like you can dress yourself in the morning. Khakis comes in all waist sizes and they look great with all colors of dress shirts, polo's and button ups.

6.Use the power of the button up.

What sets apart the fashionable from the unfashionable? Button ups. Whether they be dress shirts, polo's or short sleeved button up's, the ability to wear one and wear it well really shows how capable a dresser you are.

7.Good style costs money.

Hate to say it; we're all on a budget. But even a budget has to be pushed aside for the cost of looking good. It's understandable that we want to save when shopping so hitting stores like Express Men (buy off season) Rue 21, Forever 21, and American Eagle are all good places for buying on a budget.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
