"I don't know what to be for Halloween!" dilemmas solved


By Hannah Simon

I have a confession to make. If I had the choice I would take trick-or-treating over college
Halloween parties any day. When you are a kid, Halloween is the time when you can be
creative and fun and not worry about whether your costume is going to entice someone
else. One year I went as a zombie Anne Frank. Yes, you read that correctly. Needless to
say, the conservative housewives in my small town didn’t get it. I now find that choosing
a Halloween costume in college is a totally different battlefield. There is a struggle to
find a balance between what you will personally feel good in, and not feeling like a nun
(unless you want to of course) when you walk into a party. Here is some inspiration to get
those...

All about flats

One of the latest trends around campus is embellished flats. Before, I thought flats were for a dressier look rather than going to class, but now they've proven to be versatile in many ways. For a business-y look, Tory Burch flats can't be beat. Embellished flats with a bow at the front or big studs are perfect for the Syracuse fall weather, which makes you look more professional even if you're just headed for class -- you never know who you will meet on the steps of Whitman or Newhouse!

The best of fall

It’s officially October--so can we talk about how quickly September flew by? Not that I’ll miss it.
I am fully ready to embrace fall (even though that means the dreaded snow is around the corner, and there
are few things I hate more than the Syracuse winter weather). After all, it’s almost time for Halloween,
pumpkin spice has taken over everything we eat and drink, the lovely orange and red leaves wait in piles
for us to jump in, and it’s a good time to break out the super cute new trench coat. READ MORE

The abroad bucket list: how to make one and where to start

I’m not going to lie, studying abroad is one of the most stressful experiences ever. First
with applications, buying tickets, figuring out classes, packing and then actually getting
to the country and dealing with all the culture shock—you can get over study abroad
pretty quickly. Then on top of all of this you have to figure out what you want to do and
where you want to go! I found that the best solution to figuring this all out is by creating
a bucket list. READ MORE

The senior bucket list, DIY style

I met my two roommates, Bri and Hayley, during my first semester at SU back in the fall of 2008. The story goes Bri and I hit it off in Spanish 102, she introduced me to her immediate roommate, Hayley, I crashed in a sleeping bag on the floor of their room every weekend, and the rest is history. Between going abroad during separate semesters and a myriad of other life-changing incidents, my roommates and I spent last year without each other, mostly absent from each other’s daily lives. Our reunion this August was bittersweet because even though we were thrilled to be living together again under one roof, we only have one more year left at Syracuse—one more year too little.

Fur vests

As the fall season falls upon us our closets need to catch up.
One of the best options, in my opinion, are fur vests. Real or not, every girl needs
a special addition to her closet. The boho-chic style has been seen all around
the country from celebrities to students. My favorite fur vest is from Material
Girl at Macy’s because of the cut of the vest and the way it looks good on everyone. They can be
found at Forever 21, Macy’s, Bloomingdales, Alice & Olivia, and Guess. Fur
vests show off a girl’s style as in how she looks in it, and everyone deserves
a compliment on her style. How to Wear: 1. Fur vest over a long tight sleeve shirt and jeans 2. Fur vest over a flowy shirt with leggings...

Prequel trips for study abroad

When most people talk about study abroad they discuss all the amazing trips that they
take throughout the semester. Usually when hearing from Londoners you’ll hear about trips to Spain, France,
Germany and Austria. But, something that most pre-study abroad students do not know is
that Syracuse offers prequel trips before traveling to your final destination. The Breakdown: READ MORE
