7 Reasons I Choose Not To Wear Makeup Every Day

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.

10 Truths About Being In A Sorority

(For Girls Who Are Interested In Greek Life)

Sorority
Rebekah Lee

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.
