Fashionably Slate: Romanticizing your outfits

Valentine’s Day: a day that’s filled with glitz and glamor. Though we often associate Valentine’s Day with partners, romantic relationships and gift-giving, there are plenty of other positives to the holiday. With that being said, whether you’re single or in a relationship, Valentine’s Day will always have your back in terms of fashion. Who doesn’t enjoy being impressionable?

Fashionably Slate: Majorly Cool

People around the world dress differently. There are many factors that play into the fact that others may dress dissimilarly to how we dress, including religion, gender, identity, personality, interests, and emotion.

Slowly but Shively: It’s time to go

As Kim Cattrall once said in an interview with The Guardian: “I don’t want to be in a situation for even an hour where I’m not enjoying myself.” Also, as the great Serena Van Der Woodsen once said, "I have to go."

Slowly But Shively: Amends

Recently, I found myself in a situation where I had an opportunity to apologize to someone for a mistake I had made. I have said “I’m sorry” plenty of times in my life, but this instance was different. It was a thousand times more nerve-wracking because this time I knew it was not guaranteed that I would be forgiven.

Fashionably Slate: Popular Culture vs. Fashion

Fashion is inevitably inspired by popular culture. Wherever popular culture exists is where we will exist. It is truly a magical thought that everything is survived by each other. Rather than popular culture being seen as corrupt or unimportant, I enjoy looking at it as the way each person individually becomes a part of something larger: connection.

Cats on Campus: The Tale of an ESA

A lot of students with mental and physical health issues benefit from having an ESA that lives with them. A lot of misconceptions exist about ESAs, however. Aren’t they just pets? How can they actually help students?

Fashionably Slate: Will it function?

Clothing functionality has been an issue for hundreds of years. For example, in the 17th century, women’s clothing functionality was anything but convenient – bodices, pleated sleeves and crinolines created a world of disruption.

My chaotic conference weekend

On top of my many commitments to student media, I also serve as the president of the Residence Hall Association. Our organization is dedicated to advocating and promoting community amongst the seven residence halls that make up campus. Most universities across the country have a variation of RHA, and every year these organizations gather for several conferences.
