I wrote an article quite similar to this a few months ago, but the makeup world is developing at an exponential rate. With constant new products being brought to Ulta and Sephora, my makeup must-haves change. Here are my current 8 makeup staples.

Smashbox Photo Finish Primer

If you're like me and need a solid primer in order to have any hope of your foundation looking decent, this should be your go-to. It feels so smooth on the skin and helps give you a good canvas to get started with.

Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define Foundation

There has been a lot of recent hype about this foundation, and there is good reason for it. It really might be the best drugstore foundation I've ever used. It provides great coverage and blends really evenly over the skin. Best of all, it's only $12 at Ulta.

Airspun Loose Face Powder

It is safe to say that I will never purchase another face powder as long as this is on the shelf. Although it can be a little difficult to find, try checking your local Walgreens to find this phenomenal powder. It isn't heavy, helps prevent an oily look, and it even smells good.

Physician's Formula Butter Bronzer

This favorite hasn't changed. I still have yet to try a bronzer that I love more than this one. It smells amazing and provides the perfect glow. In my case, I'm too pale to wear a very deep bronze, and this is the ideal formula for me.

L'Oreal Paris Lash Paradise Mascara

A friend told me that this mascara is even better than Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara, so I had to test it out for myself. I don't know if it is better, but I would say it is as good. This mascara does an awesome job of making my eyelashes super long.

Anastasia Brow Pomade

This pomade and the Anastasia brow brush is all you need to have awesome brows. It is super simple to use and helps you achieve a full yet natural looking brow.

Essence Pure Nude Highlighter

This is one of my favorite highlighters, especially in the summer. It gives your cheeks the prettiest glow that isn't too blinding or white looking. I am not personally a fan of highlighters that are too iridescent looking.

Stila Liquid Lipstick

The shade "patina" is the one I wear almost every single day and get compliments on almost every time I wear it. It truly stays on all day no matter what I eat or drink. There is a large range of colors, but "patina" is a good everyday pinky nude.

I could talk about makeup all day, but hopefully, these 8 products are ones that you decide to try out.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
