Nothing wrong with a little TLC, boys.

Alright boys, this one is for you. We love ya, with all our heart, but sometimes you are lacking in the health department.

Don't get me wrong- sometimes you dress up real nice and smell real good and look on point.

But when us ladies get our mani/pedis, soak in a bath after a long day, or treat ourselves to a spa day, and we offer you to come along, you look at us like we have three heads.

Listen up boys, taking care of yourself and "pampering" yourself is OK. Plus, it's kinda hot when a guy has a perfectly polished foot or silky smooth hair and skin.

Here are 7 beauty hacks that guys can and should follow:

1. Use a hairdryer

Look, maybe you have a really amazing carbon footprint, (and that's great) but your hair doesn't look all that amazing. After the shower, try ditching the typical towel dry and whip out a hairdryer and make your locks look like one of a God.

2. Face scrub/masks

Maybe you hop in the shower, wet your face and call it a day, but do you feel how much your face would glow if you would use a daily face scrub or facial mask? You'll appreciate- I guarantee.

3. Use lip products

Look, I know licking your lips to keep them "hydrated" might solve the problem temporarily but come on, you need some chap-stick. There's plenty of "manly" lip balms out there for you and with using them, you'll be smacking your lips together to feel their silky-smoothness.

4. Lotion up

I get it- lotion usually has fruity, "girly" scents but that's why they invented a men's line at several retail stores, so you gentleman can have buttery skin just like the rest of us. Besides, no one likes rough hands anyway.

5. Get a manicure and pedicure

Whether your fingernails and toenails are too long, broken or just too messed up a mani/pedi duo is never a bad choice. At some salons, there are specials for men.

6. Bubble baths are your friend.

Bubbles baths are sacred. No matter who you are or what you are doing, bubble baths after a long day are perfection. Some bath salts, candles, glass of wine and hot water is all you need. You won't regret it, boys.

7. Looking presentable

Don't get me wrong, I love the jeans and t-shirt look, but sometimes it's OK to switch it up and wear a pair of khakis with a button down. Looking presentable doesn't have to be an everyday thing, but every so often would 1. boast your confidence and 2. make us look good to have a sexy, well-dressed man on our arm.

So boys, there you go. Some reasonable ways to enhance your look. When you feel good and look good, all is well in your world. Stay handsome.

Anticipating The End Of Your First Semester, As Told By April Ludgate

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

National Writers Society

NBC Universal

Everyone who is in college right now, or has ever been, knows the struggle of pulling in the strings at the last second. It seems impossible, and you have to do a LOT of things in order to assure your future for the next semester.

April Ludgate, historically, is a very annoyed person, and she doesn't hide it. Of all the times that I binged and re-binged "Parks and Rec," her attitude relates more and more to me.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

Ask friends of mine to name a quality about me, and one a lot them will point out the fact that I am almost always smiling. I like to laugh and smile -- not to quote Buddy the Elf in April, but smiling is my favorite! It is probably my favorite go-to expression. However, what a lot of people do not see is that I have my down days. I have days when smiling and laughing is a real struggle, or when I have so much on my plate that going out of my way to behappy takes more effort than I have stored in me. Be it a symptom of college and growing up or a facet of life, I cannot always be content.

"I don't want to do things. I want to not do things."

1. When you look at the syllabus and realize there are only three weeks of the semester left; even though the first day was LITERALLY yesterday.

2. You look at your grades and realize they probably aren't as high as they should be, which is a terrifying realization.

3. When you think to yourself at night, "tomorrow, I will wake up early and go to the library ALL day, and, hell, maybe after I'll go to the gym for a little bit, just to push myself that extra mile."

4. Tomorrow actually comes. The inevitable and overpowering sense of procrastination is too strong to overcome.

5. But you DO end up going to the library. Not all day though, but still, a while. But no, you do not go to the gym. Still, you made an effort, so you decide to treat yo' self.

6. When you realize you need to schedule a meeting with your adviser because you need to sign up for classes next semester. But you also realize that since you waited until the last minute, you're going to get stuck with all of the crappy classes.

7. When you low-key try to slip into conversation with your professors that you need extra credit because you're that desperate.

8. When it's already the third time you've seen your adviser in two days because you have no damn clue what you're doing and need all the help you can get.

9. When you apply for a job associated with your major even though you have no experience, but you just want to dive headfirst into the deep end of adulthood and get it over with.

The world is not always sunshine and rainbows, and you do not have to be, either.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.
