As summer comes to a close and the fall semester descends, students and young adults across the country are looking to restock their closets with the latest trends and fashions.
It may not seem like it, with the temperature in the upper 90s and humidity levels so high that walking across campus feels like taking a swim through a nasty pool, but soon we'll be transitioning into fall.

Last week, I scoured my bedroom for Borders gift cards, wiped off their dust, and set out for the book megastore for the final time. On July 18, Borders announced it was liquidating its remaining stores. Along with droves of other book buyers (seriously, maybe they should have announced their closure more often), I cashed in before the shelves were emptied. Packed elbow-to-elbow inside the massive two-story building, there were more faces than books.
