Okay so, you guys know Wonder woman, right? She’s really cool and as awesome super powers? Well, our campus celebrity this week is actually ten times better than Wonder Woman. With a full course load and a million stellar extracurricular activities, Caroline Brazill can pretty much take on anything. Her Campus was lucky enough to track her down and to have her answer some questions for us. Caroline is majoring in international relations with a concentration in peace and conflict resolution in Africa. That sounds pretty cool, right? But she's also minoring in public anthropology. Below are some questions and answers that definitely help in not only encapsulating how incredibly busy she is, but also how awesome she is. Ladies and gentlemen, please meet the one and only, Caroline Brazill.

What extracurriculars are you involved in on campus?

I’ve been competing on the mock trial team since my freshman year, which I absolutely love. That’s my main time commitment outside of classes; the intricacies of the case get to be really demanding! The team has had great success this year, and we’ve travelled to North Carolina, New York, Virginia, and Pennsylvania for tournaments. I work as a barista at the dav making early morning lattes, and I am on the executive board of Delta Phi Epsilon this semester.

What is the most rewarding thing that you have done affiliated with a campus organization?

Gen-ed classes can sometimes be a bit, overwhelming; however, the class Writers in Print and in Person is quite different. In this class, you are assigned a book to read, and after a couple of classes, the author actually visits! Recently, my class and myself had the opportunity to meet Glen Finland, the author of Next Stop. Required reading can be extremely laborious and boring, but Finland’s memoir proved to be different than this usual stereotype. 

Stripes are a trend that currently appears to be sweeping storefronts and window displays. Only a couple of months ago, it seemed that polka dots were taking over chambray shirts and pants. Trends are changing so quickly! Stripes are tricky because they can, at times, remind people of a referee shirt or a tacky shirt from the 60s. Nevertheless, the stripes trend is back, and it is definitely better then ever. Below are some select picks of the greatest striped pieces on the Internet.  

1. Urban Outfitters Striped Pants

The first thing that comes to mind when seeing these pants are: LOUD. The black and white stripes elongate the leg, especially with them being high-waisted. There are many tops and accessories that can be worn with these pants. At first sight, it may appear difficult to create a successful outfit with such a bold pair of pants; however, there are actually so many things that you can do. You can pair it with a solid sweater, tank top or classic t-shirt. You can even mix prints! Are you bold enough to pair a floral shirt with these bad boys?

2. ASOS Glamorous Midi Dress
