15 Ridiculous College Perks That Will Make You Want To Go Back To School

University of Georgia sophomore Amber Estes wrote an insightful column for The Red and Black (UGA’s student newspaper) on how female college students can “attain the thing that is most essential in securing our futures.”

Nope, not a four-year degree, but a ring on your finger.

In her column, she breaks down the six steps to attracting the perfect frat-daddy husband, like choosing a prestigious university and staying classy —”a man won’t get down on one knee for a woman who is overly willing to get down on both of hers.”

And of course, she knows that the real way to a man’s heart is through social media:

Step 3: Instagram everything. The men will come up to you and flirt during your afternoons on campus, and soon you will be receiving an influx of friend requests. This step is crucial. These boys have only ever seen you in your I-look-good-but-I’m-not-trying attire; they have way higher standards for your going out pictures.

Nothing spruces up some mediocre pics like a lighting adjustment and filter on Instagram. Also, make sure you take pictures with your pretty friends, but not ones that are prettier than you. That way the boys know you don’t hang around with uggos, but it’s also crystal clear that you’re the queen of the pack.

We’re not sure if this is a real plea for an M.R.S. degree or a lame attempt at satire, and the commenters on The Red and Black‘s website clearly can’t tell either (we’re seriously hoping it’s satire, especially since her column from the previous week exhorts people in their 20s to “find themselves” after college). But it’s definitely a slap in the face to any girl actually going to college for an education.

Chloe Moretz: teen style idol

Self-styled fashionista … Chloe Grace Moretz is the new face of Aeropostale.

At age 15, actress Chloe Grace Moretz is already an ambassador.

It’s for Aeropostale, the youthful fashion brand, and it’s a job that’s likely to come with some clout and influence – especially with teenage shoppers.

Moretz’s new gig was to be announced later on Monday. She will be featured in advertisements through next year, largely wearing clothing she’s selected and styled herself. She will also curate collections in-store and online.

“I get my own section, I got to pull my own clothes. Girls can go and see what I love and what I wear in the shoots. It’s a way for me to be in touch with girls,” Moretz said in a recent phone interview.

Moretz starred in Hugo and The Amityville Horror and has the title role in the upcoming remake of the horror classic Carrie.

The young actress said she sees a shift in her fan base since her Aeropostale ad campaign began appearing in magazines a few weeks ago. She noted her screen roles until now have been in films that typically attract adults. “I was in the airport a few days ago and these girls were reading their Teen Vogues, and then the girls came up to me!”

She describes her own style as fun, flirty and colourful, and she lives in skinny jeans cuffed at the ankle when she’s not working. Most of her style cues come from her mother, but she greatly admires the look cultivated by Michelle Pfeiffer, her co-star in Dark Shadows.

“She has the coolest clothes,” Moretz gushed.

Moretz says she hasn’t regretted one fashion choice she’s made yet, whether it’s for the first day of school or a celebrity-filled red carpet. “Fashion is another way to hone your artistic ability and to express your personality.”

(Her favourite back-to-school outfit was in early grade school, she recalls, when she wore a blue dress covered with yellow elephants.)

Choosing Moretz for the brand was ultimately an easy decision, but not one that company officials took lightly, said Scott Birnbaum, senior vice president of Aeropostale marketing and e-commerce. The brand did its homework, seeking input from magazine editors, photographers and other industry insiders.

“When we met Chloe, it was really an instant love affair,” he said. “She has such great style, she can mix it up. She wears great high-end designers and everyday stuff.”

“We think she’s a role model,” he adds. “She’s quirky and actually really funny, and those are things our brand stands for.”
