Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, YouTube... They're everywhere. What? Who? The millions of beauty hacks, gurus, fanatics, advice. Girls everywhere get their style and inspiration from the internet. There's all sorts of tricks and treats (Halloween pun, see that?) that girls all over are adopting and using in their everyday lives. As a Colorado native that recently made her home in Wyoming, it's no secret that achieving any of these "hacks" and "trends" is a daily struggle, and here's why.

1. Perfect long wavy hair

Leaving your hair down in Wyoming? Yeah, you're joking. With the average wind speed about 12mph, only Wyoming girls know this isn't realistic. That's AVERAGE speed, just imagine when the wind picks up to 30, 40, or 50mph.


2. Luscious Lips

Wind, snow, frigid temps, and dry climate make achieving those beautiful lips impossible. They're dry and cracked and no amount of chapstick will ever make up for it.

3. Normal Skin

Move to Wyoming and every drop of moisture that ever existed in your skin will disappear. Due to the high altitude, constant wind, and crazy weather, everything is dryer.

4. Long Natural Nails

If you live in Wyoming, generally it's for the outdoor activities. And with outdoor activities comes consequences. Your nails will never stay long again. From the harsh weather making them brittle, they tend to break often. So say goodbye and good luck if you plan on moving to Wyoming.


5. Short Sun-Dresses

You know? I'm starting to notice a trend with the wind here. Have a cute sundress? Might want to rethink that. You'll constantly be holding your dress down or showing off your underwear. Maybe consider spandex? Or just screw it, wear jeans.


So there it is, Wyoming wind is a bit brutal, but don't get me wrong, Wyoming has its' perks and that's why I live here.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2023, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

If you go to or went to Kent State, then more than likely you have done or will do some of these things.

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.

The winters at Kent are brutal, and while the heated sidewalks and some great snow boots are always a help, there’s no chance you won’t bust it on the ice at least once in your four plus years at school.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.
