Style Guide 101

Let’s face it, now a days, style and fashion is becoming more of an extension of people’s personalities; Don’t you agree? You can tell if people have an elegant, rocker-chic, or '80s style. Style is becoming more and more diverse. It’s not always about the labels now. People are wearing clothes that really express who they are and what they stand for. But, there are others who have no idea how to express themselves through their clothes. Here are a few tips to get you started on your simple style goals.

If you want to improve your wardrobe, the first thing recommended is to get to know your taste. Yes, your wardrobe can be compared to food! Your style and your wardrobe should fulfill your taste buds. Get to know what your favorite store is and what type of clothes they sell. It’s like having a “go-to store”; they’ll always have an outfit you can’t wait to wear. It's almost like your favorite place to eat.

Next, pick a style that reflects who you are. Do you have a chic or '80s style? Get your style down pat so you know what section to go to when you enter a store (or shop online).

Lastly, write out a list of colors you love, ones that compliment your skin. Colors that compliment your skin can really bring out your skin tone. Use these colors to pick out your next outfit and see how you feel.

Getting to know your style can be fun! It's like discovering something you didn’t know about yourself before. Pick a style that reflects who you are and I guarantee you’ll feel better!

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.

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.
