Hi! I’m Olivia. I’m the Editor in Chief of The Lance. My three favorite things to do are hiking, napping, and shopping. I also love classic rock and have an addiction to Starbucks unsweetened iced tea. Finally, while I love both shows, I think Parks and Recreation is better than The Office.

2. Animal print: Animal print was massively popular in the early 2000s and died down during the early and mid-2010s. However, around 2-3 years ago, leopard, snakeskin, and other animal print clothing became on-trend once again. Now, you can’t walk 10 feet in a shopping mall without noticing the striking animal printed mannequins.
