I don't think makeup is really necessary.

7 Reasons I Choose Not To Wear Makeup Every Day
Michelle Hamilton

Putting makeup on is rather time-consuming and sometimes frustrating. It's nice to look nice every once in a while, but is makeup really necessary? Looking good shouldn't always involve makeup, because putting it on and leaving it on for hours is a struggle. I think makeup is a waste of time most of the time and there are so many reasons I don't want to waste my time applying it.

1. You can sleep in longer.

A lot of girls are willing to set their alarms earlier in order to apply a full face of makeup every day. I'd much rather spend that time sleeping than putting on makeup.

2. You can rub your eyes as much as you want.

When you have makeup on, you can't just rub your eyes. You have to be careful not to ruin your makeup, if your eye is itchy or if you just like to rub your eyes. Not wearing makeup and being able to really rub your eyes is so satisfying.

3. You're not uncomfortable all day.

I don't know about every other girl but if I have makeup on, I'm just not comfortable. I feel like my skin can't breathe, and I'm constantly worrying about my mascara getting under my eyes. It just feels so much better to let my skin breathe and not have to worry about my makeup getting messed up.

4. Your face breaks out.

Whenever I wear makeup, my face seems to break out the next day. I know this isn't true for all people, but it does show that its probably not good for our skin to be covered with goopy makeup all the time.

5. It takes a long time to do.

Girls can spend hours trying to perfect their makeup, but is it really worth it? It takes forever and at the end of the day, you just take it off anyways.

6. Makeup is expensive.

By not wearing makeup, you wouldn't have to replace your makeup as often, saving you a ton of money, because we all know that it can be extremely expensive.

7. I don't see the need for it

No girl needs makeup, whether they think they do or not. Every girl looks pretty naturally.

Whether you wear makeup every day or not, the important thing is to feel confident and happy in your own skin. So don't be afraid to ditch the mascara and rock the natural look.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
