Throwback Fashion Trends That Millennials Will Never Forget

1. Silly Bands

Silly bands made recess even better because I could look forward to trading with other people. Eventually these bands caused a huge craze. They were banned from school because they were distracting students.

2. Power Necklaces

These necklaces have ions that supposedly provide 'abundant amounts of energy.' Everyone in middle school just seemed to think they looked cool, and you were even cooler if your boyfriend gave you his to wear.

3. Bermuda shorts

I lived in these shorts during elementary and middle school. I paired them with a graphic tee and sperrys for the perfect look.

4. Zebra print

I used to be obsessed with zebra print. Nearly everything in my room was covered in it. Now every time I see it, I cringe.

5. Bubble Necklaces

These statement costume necklaces were so popular. I remember wanting one in everycolor.

6. Logo tees

I'm almost 100 percent sure every millennial owned at least one logo tee.

7. Jeans with bedazzled pockets

Because who doesn't want to attract attention to their bottom?

8. Gel Watches

Gel + sparkles + time= greatness.

9. Chevron

This was probably the most popular print at one point in my life. I saw this everywhere. Shirts, skirts, shoes, and even wallpaper was covered with this pattern. Never again...



10. Everything Ow

Because owls are cute, you know, when they're not swallowing their prey whole...


11. Crocs

What could be better than rubbery shoes with holes in them? Nothing.

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.

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.
