If you are in a sorority, then chances are you've had an encounter with puffy paint. Every sorority has the girl who can create detailed art with only puffy paint, while anyone else using puffy paint creates a big blob of mess. Well here are a few tips for the beginner that can hopefully help you become your chapter's puffy paint guru.

1. Practice

You'd be seriously surprised how many beginners just go right for it. Relieve yourself of the stress and hair pulling and just practice puffy painting before you begin your project.

2. Keep the Pressure Even

To create even lines, keep the pressure even when squeezing the bottle. Another helpful tip, is to shake the bottle often to keep all the paint near the tip.

3. First Use Pencil

For beginners, it would be a lot easier to make your designs with pencil first and puffy paint over the line. Once you've had enough practice, you can start free handing.

4. Puffy Paint is easily removable

You can scrape it off or wash it off. If you make a mistake, it is easily removable so don't freak out!

5. DO NOT TOUCH

For the love of God, don't touch the puffy paint!! Give it at least a day or maybe two. Puffy paint takes a long time to dry and after all that hard work, you don't want to mess up your project!

Hopefully these tips have helped! Just remember to practice! and that Puffy paint goes on practically everything: glass, wood, felt, fabric, plastic etc... So craft on fellow puffy painters!

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.

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.
