I can't be the only little girl who grew up with a love for lipstick! No other type of makeup produces the happiness I have for lipstick.

What's not to love about it? I'm a firm believer in colors representing someone's mood. Lipstick is no exception. It takes time. Maybe you haven't been convinced why it's so great. Here are 8 reasons lipstick is awesome.

1. The Colors

There are so many colors to choose from. Pretty much any color you can think of? It's out there somewhere.

2. The Finishes

Let's see, there's glossy, satin, matte, creamy, stain, sheer...

3. The Confidence

Finding the perfect lip color can decide how the rest of your day is going to go.

4. The Effort

If you're like me, it takes a lot of patience to get it right. But the end result is worth it!

5. The Style

Holding up a compact mirror to apply your favorite shade is empowering. Wear your lipstick with pride!

6. The Boldness

You want to wear a green, black, or purple? Maybe something neon? GO FOR IT.

7. The patterns

Put some polka dots in there, maybe some stripes. WEAR IT AND OWN IT.

8. The Lasting impression

Whether or not your lipstick stains something, it can leave a mark on someone else and make you memorable.

However you wear your lipstick, it will not only make you look great, but feel great. That's what I've learned from lipstick. Having confidence and leaving a mark can be as easy as applying your favorite lipstick!

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.

It's easier than you think.

"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.

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.
