UVA Ladies' Essential Style Guide

Back to school might seem like it is forever away but it is never to early to start building up your UVA-chic wardrobe.

1. White converse/keds/vans

2. Monogram

You’ll be wishing that your mom would have sewn your name into your underwear once you see the abundance of monogrammed backpacks, necklaces, and earrings

3. T-shirts that are five times too big

If the shirt isn’t at least down to knee length, is it really big enough?

4. Norts

Norts should not be visible underneath your tshirt. Remember, it is a tasteful balance between “I look like I slept in this” and “I work out?”

5. Lily Pulitzer

Time to spend four times the money on a dress that probably matches the pattern on your grandma’s couch that she covered in plastic.

6. Vests

For those days when you don’t feel like keeping your arms warm, opt in for the vest. #vestlifeisthebestlife

The vest can be combined with a short sleeve t-shirt if you can’t decide if it is warm or cold or if you don’t care about being entirely impractical.

7. Chacos

Combine with fanny pack to be extra fashionable.

8. Birkenstocks

#TBT to roman times

9. Longchamp Purses

Essentially, this handbag is just a giant, over-priced sack for you to throw everything you own into; the bigger the bag, the more it functions as a black hole into which everything you own can fit.

10. Patagonia

Keeping with the same theme of the Lily dresses, the uglier the pattern, the better.

11. Riding boots

For when you need to take your horse to class.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
