This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at URI chapter.

The winter can be 100% depressing. The warmth is gone, the semester kicks up, and walking around campus is not worth the struggle. Wednesdays make it even worse. As of right now, it is POURING rain. Walking across the quad is totally not fun while trying to avoiding puddles but it’s only the rain, things could be much much worse. To make things a little better here is some good news and some great things!

Sales!!

As of now American Eagle has a sale online only from 30-60% off everything!

Aerie also is 40% off all of their tops.

Princess Polly Boutique and Urban Outfitters both just got tons of new arrivals.

Nasty Gal is CURRENTLY 50% off the website but there is a countdown going, they also have the student discount which is always a bonus.

Halloweekend

Probably the most exciting thing going on in fall is coming up, and it’s coming quick. Now is the perfect time to start brainstorming new ideas for what you should go as. Classics like a pirate, mummy, cat, and any cute animals are always safe and good for the last minute, but branch out now! Why dress-up like a cat when you COULD be going as a White Claw. It is definitely something to keep your mind off all the stress.

Event Season

It’s finally time where a ton of fun events are occurring. If you just rushed a sorority there’s everything going on with Panhel keeping you involved. All of our clubs are kicking up and starting (shoutout to HerCampus). Sports teams are starting to compete and football games are scheduled. Our first concert just happened with Young Thug, and Juice Wrld will be here soon! John Mulaney is coming to town to do a comedy show, as well as Nick Colletti!

To close this week’s fun article out, everything is not as bad as it seems. Trust me. Everyone is going through some stress and some anxiety but there are so so so many positive things otherwise!
