13 Signs You're Addicted To Lip Balm

Because it feels so good!

If you're like me, you can't stand the feeling of dry lips. Even when it is warmer outside, I still am constantly reaching for some sort of lip balm to sooth my lips. The creamy sensation instantly soothes my chapped lips, but also makes them more dry, and I have to apply again. It's a viscous cycle, and I probably spend way too much money on lip balm. Here's some signs that you're just as addicted to lip balm as I am:

1. You have multiple lip balms hidden in multiple places.

In your car, bedroom, kitchen, friends cars and living rooms. You have a special place for any lip-balm emergency.

2. You were thoroughly upset when the news broke about Eos.

When Eos gave a girl a really bad skin reaction, it was the end of the world for lip balm lovers, because who doesn't love those spherical lip soothers?

3. You still have Eos products anyway.

I mean, have you seen the new tube balm they have? It's to die for.

4. You constantly apply lip balm everywhere you go.

Because it feels so good!

5. You always carry lip balm around with you.

You can't leave home without it.

6. You might even have a lip balm holder for your wallet or purse.

Amazon. It's a life saver.

7. You have a favorite lip balm brand, and you stock up on them religiously.

My personal favorite is Blistex.

8. You have an odd fondness for your friends that also have a lip balm addiction.

B-F-F-S.

9. You feel naked if you don't have lip balm on your lips.

It's just not right.

10. The moment of panic when you reach in your purse, pocket or wallet and think your lip balm isn't there.

Sound the alarm, this is not a drill!

11. You always re-apply after you eat. ALWAYS.

Without fail, because your lips don't feel clean without it.

12. You have a back up brand just in case.

In case something happens like what happened with Eos.

13. If for some reason -- god forbid -- you leave your lip balm at home, you go to the store immediately and buy more.

Dolla dolla bills, ya'll.

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.

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.
