Lifestyles

Who doesn’t like money? Personally, I am known as the big spender amongst my friends. Strangely enough, every big spender knows a little bit about saving. Here are some tips for every college student that might be spending above their means.

It seems that every day there is another major beauty trend being referred to on fashion blogs and websites – contouring, colorful eyeliner, bright lipsticks, and fantastically-colored highlighters being just a few of them. Every day, there’s a new celebrity example, a new look to try and emulate.

Having a positive outlook will enable you to have the best attitude when facing any issue throughout the semester.

Blogging has been around for a while, but never with as much force and popularity as it has now.

As a freshman commuter, I was afraid that I would be missing out on the ‘college experience.’ How would I meet new people and make new friends?

Veganism has become an increasingly popular lifestyle throughout the younger generations. In the past five years, the number of vegans and vegetarians in the country has more than doubled surpassing sixteen million according to therawfoodworld.com.

Healthy eating has made its way to the forefront of popular culture – organic produce lines grocery store shelves, avocado appears on any modern restaurant menu, every junk food has a fat-free alternative, and greens are cool enough to inspire Beyoncé to rock a “Kale” sweater in her “7/11” music video.
