10 Surprising Ways To Add Roses Into Your Life
Katherine Woodward

While the classic red rose may be a symbol of love on "The Bachelor," the influence of the flower is popping up everywhere. From home décor to makeup, rose has a range of hues to please all tastes. So stop and smell the roses with these rose inspired items!

1. Thro by Marlo Lorenz Keller Faux Fur Throw Pillow

Rose never looked more glam until this faux fur pillow! Its fuzzy material has a rock and roll edge that would look fantastic against a dark chair

2. Hobes Shoes

After taking ballet for 10 years, I have a particular fondness for pink ballet slippers. This explains my lifelong quest for the perfect rose shoes, but I think I found an excellent alternative. A company called Hobes produces these simple yet chic suede shoes, and I am in love with the pair in a color called blush. Simple to throw on with a breezy dress or a pair of jean shorts, they're on my summer shoe wish list!

3. L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Nail Color

Nail polish is always an easy and fun way to try a new color. This polish is appropriately called Smell the Roses. You could paint the entire nail the color or test out your art skills by painting underneath only the tips with a pale pink polish!

4. Fresh: Rose Face Mask

Roses are not only beautiful flowers, but they can be beneficial to our skin. This face mask contains rejuvenating rose petals, gentle on the face and able to soften any skin type. Who doesn’t want that youthful rosy glow?

5. Candlewick Pale Rose Throw from Pine Cone Hill

This pale rose blanket may look right at home in a nursery, but this cozy material suits grownups as well. Mixed with modern décor, pale rose will complement a bedroom. And while you may not be a baby anymore, anything this soft is still an ideal Sunday nap companion.

6. Crabtree & Evelyn: Evelyn Rose Ultra-Moisturizing Hand Therapy

Hands are easily overlooked during a beauty regimen, but they deserve equal love. Created with rose, shea butter and nut oil, this hand cream moisturizes without leaving a greasy residue.

7. Amano Artisan Chocolate

Chocolate and roses are always a winning combination, but how about chocolate flavored with roses? Chocolatier Art Pollard accomplished this delicious fusion with his company, Amano. I adore his dark chocolate raspberry rose bar. With a little crunch, the rose petals and raspberry add a delectable quality to the dark chocolate. Its incredible taste even won gold at the 2015 International Chocolate Awards Americas Competition.

8. Avocado Rose

Even the ever-popular avocado toast deserves a makeover. The avocado can be shaped into a beautiful flower that lets even the most amateur chef feel like a pro. Food bloggers like Lisa Lin show off their avocado rose making with simple step-by-step instructions.

9. Henri Bendel Rose Signature Candle

For a fix of rose, a candle is the simplest way to make any room smell amazing. With a mix of rose, jasmine and lemon, this candle is a great present for others or a little treat yourself!

10. Sonix Rosé All day iPhone 6 Case at Nordstrom Rack

Classics lemonade and iced tea take a backseat to the hottest summer beverage, rosé. While not made with any flowers and pronounced slightly differently, its pretty pink hue evokes roses. When responsibly drinking this photo-worthy drink, one can snap a picture with this appropriately designed phone case.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
