10 Things All Makeup Addicts Know To Be True

The thrill. The excitement. The suspense. The agony. Shopping for makeup can be a difficult and emotional trip. Trust me. Whether you’ve been waiting on that one foundation to be released for months now, or you just can’t decide which Kat Von D lipstick to purchase next, shopping for makeup can get very real. Countless trips to Sephora and MAC are just never enough if you’re a makeup addict—you’ve always got to have the next big thing (even if you already have a stockpile of makeup at home). If you happen to be a makeup addict (no shame in your game), these are some feelings you can probably relate to:

1. When you want to swatch a product but there’s no tester:

Like seriously, if I can't swatch every lipstick color on my hand, is it even a real makeup trip?

2. Waiting on MAC to start a rewards program:

Wait for it... Wait for it...

3. When you realize MAC started a rewards program:

Hallelujah!

4. When you become a VIB at Sephora:

There is no better feeling in the world than being recognized for your reckless spending habits. Thank you for the appreciation, Sephora. Like I said before, no shame.

5. When you find out you can sample products at MAC and Sephora:

I never have to buy foundation again, I thought to myself as I asked for my sixth sample of the new Nars foundation.

6. When the product you've been waiting to buy online for months sells out in two minutes:

What kind of cruel world is this?! Was I not the only one that knew this was coming out?!

7. When someone says, "Don't you already have that lipstick/eyeshadow/blush color?"

Clearly, this red lipstick is different from the last red lipstick I bought. Clearly.

8. When people say that a cheaper product is a dupe for a high end product:

No. Just no.

9. When people judge you for spending over $50 on one makeup product:

For the last time, no shame in my game.

10. When JCPenney's Sephora doesn't carry as many products as a regular Sephora:

Is this a sick joke?

Being a makeup addict is a tough job. It takes a brave soul to truly embark on the journey that is makeup shopping. But, hey, don't let anyone cramp your style. Keep spending the funds on the face, girl!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Top 20 Thoughts College Students Have During Finals

The ultimate list and gif guide to a college student's brain during finals.

University of Vermont

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
