Read MorePeople should focus on intimacy in social interactions, not distractions on their phones
As a senior here at Geneseo, I’ve had plenty of time to get to know how college students socialize with each other. Whether it be at an off-campus party, a school related event or any large spectacle, people my age have become increasingly reliant on using social media as a way to connect with each other. In a time where going through Snapchat stories or Instagram posts is a way to see what almost all of your contemporaries are up to, people often forget to stop for a second and just enjoy the moment.

Read MoreRenting or buying stylish clothing? What is the more affordable option?
As suggested by Tom Haverford on “Parks and Rec,” renting clothes for short periods at a time seems to be the new craze sweeping the fashion world. Offering a more sustainable practice, renting clothing allows you to change your wardrobe routinely—whether to keep up with each season’s new trends or because you get bored of the same looks easily. It is less expensive than buying apparel you’ll only wear a few times and you’re often able to rent clothes that cost much more than a service’s annual subscription fee. Sites like Nuuly offer items from dozens of name brand stores for one flat price a month, as well as fast shipping and guaranteed protection against stains and other mishaps.
