Redoing parts of your makeup to get it just right.

Yes, it absolutely does take me three tries to get the perfect winged eyeliner. So worth it when it's all done.


You're subscribed to or following beauty accounts.

Michelle Phan, Nikki Tutorials, and Jeffree Star are all names you have come to know and love. If it weren't for them and other beauty gurus you would not be capable of attaining the level of makeup awesomeness that you have somewhat achieved.

Accounting for the time it takes you to fix your mistakes when deciding what time to start doing your makeup.

Well, it'll take me a while to get my lashes and lipstick up to standard. I also mess up on my brows at least twice. That'll add about half an hour.

Saving money strictly for a new palette.

This paycheck goes towards my Kylie Jenner Royal Peach palette and this next one goes towards the Naked Basics palette. It's not a problem, I can stop whenever I want!

Taking way too much makeup with you for travel.

Even if it's only a weekend trip, you have to bring every single palette you own. You know... for choices.

When you have achieved the perfect look and absolutely dread taking it off at night.

That dreadful time when the makeup wipes have to come out and the makeup to come off. Say goodbye to all of the fleekiness. Tragic.

Getting too excited when you buy something new.

It doesn't matter what you have going on tonight, you have to put on that new highlight you just purchased.

Your email is 80% beauty retailers.

Important business emails? You mean the fact that I get a free lipgloss with my Sephora purchase of $50 or more? Yup. Very business. Very important. *furiously begins online shopping*

Always experimenting with colors.

Trying to replicate the fierce looks of the Instagram community and sometimes going a little too far. Maybe the blue lipstick wasn't the best idea for a meeting with my professor...

Finding excuses to do a full face of makeup.

The grocery store? Okay, just give me like two and a half hours to get ready.

You're trying something new every time you do your makeup.

New contour technique, cut crease for the first time. That's the beauty of makeup: always experimenting and figuring out what makes you feel like you. Now, go out there and try to make all of the beauty gurus proud!!

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 have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. 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. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
