Nothing says 'Merica quite like a dad in a flag shirt and jorts.

6 Types Of Fourth Of July Fashion

It's that time of the year again, when you're forced to dig through your closet and find the perfect outfit to sport your patriotic red, white and blue. Maybe you've been wearing the same t-shirt and shorts combination for five years, or maybe you'd like to splurge on a new get-up for this fine American holiday. Whatever the case, there are several different types of 4th of July outfits, and many of them aren't pretty.

1. The "Typical Dad Move" Outfit

For many 40-year-old dads, no 4th of July is complete without some jorts and a nice red t-shirt that was probably bought 10 years ago. Throw in some brown mandals and a baseball cap, and this outfit is absolutely flawless.

2. The "I Just Spent $50 at Old Navy" Outfit

Remember when you were a kid and your mom forced you to wear an American flag shirt from Old Navy...three years in a row? Old Navy has 4th of July options for the whole family, and don't forget to pick up some patriotic flip flops (2 for $5!).

3. The "I'm Definitely in a Frat" Outfit

American flag Chubbies are a must-have for this look, along with some Sperrys and a cold can of Natty Light. Maybe even take a quick picture for your Instagram followers to show them just how fratty you truly are. #Merica

4. The "DIY Crafter" Outfit

This one is honestly pretty impressive to me. This outfit is one of extreme crafting skills, and no matter how much help I get from Pinterest, I know I will never be able to master the art of homemade American flag shorts.

5. The "My Crush Is Going To Be At This Party" Outfit

Some people use the Fourth of July to show a little skin. This outfit usually consists of some sort of crop top with a pair of high-waisted jean shorts. The perfect scheme to get your crush's attention in the most patriotic of ways!

6. The "I'm Staying In Bed and Watching Netflix All Night" Outfit

No 4th of July plans? No problem! Sit back and relax in your favorite robe with some Netflix and a steaming bowl of mac and cheese. Nothing says "America" quite like that.

I am personally looking forward to observing all of these types of 4th of July apparel this year, and maybe check out some new red, white and blue trends. God bless America!

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.
