I Love Being A Girly Girl And Dressing Up For Myself, Not Other People
Kennedy Lane

Not all girls like to wear makeup everyday or dress to impress as often as they can, but I do. Not because I am trying to impress other people, but because it makes me happy and feel more confident in myself and more comfortable in my own skin.

Being a girly girl is part of my personality. I know there are people who judge me for looking like I am trying too hard or trying to impress everyone, but that is just who I am and what I am comfortable in.

I enjoy wearing makeup every day, dressing up instead of wearing jeans and a t-shirt, and styling my hair instead of throwing it in a ponytail. I like to shop and look for new beauty trends. I rather look cute when going to class than wear sweats and a t-shirt.

I can shop for hours. I love shopping for new clothes, makeup, jewelry, or bags, you name it. When the seasons change, it is very exciting to start looking for a new wardrobe to fit the weather and sport the new seasonal trends that are going on.

The weather and where you live is what mainly determine the contents of your wardrobe. If you live somewhere hot, you are more likely to have a wardrobe of more summer type clothes. If you live somewhere cold, you will have more of a winter wardrobe. It all depends on personal preference on what type of clothes you like to wear. Personally, I prefer winter clothes such as sweaters and jackets. They are easier to layer, and you can add or take away from different outfits to make one outfit into a completely different one.

Makeup also feeds into my girly-girl image. I love to try new makeup looks, testing out different eyeshadow colors, textures and pallets. Trying new lipstick colors, from bold and dark to soft and light or loud and bright. I think I can speak for any makeup lover when I say that Ulta is a girly girls heaven. We can spend hours on end and hundreds of dollars looking through different types of makeup and different brands.

Hair also plays a major role in the girly girl world. With endless amounts of styles and tools to give you any look that you want. You can go from curly to straight, up or down or anywhere in between. There are styles that take a lot of effort if you are wanting to dress to impress. There are also hairstyles that take seconds for when you are feeling a little more on the lazy side. There is always something you can do with your hair.

Jewelry and accessories are also a girl's best friend. You can spice up any outfit and make it just a bit better by adding some earrings, a necklace, bracelets, and a bag to add to your outfits on a daily basis. They are simple additions that can make you look like you put more effort into your outfits than you actually did because in reality all you did was throw a bag over your shoulder and a necklace over your head.

Yes, I am a girly girl, and I love girly things and I would never change a thing.

Christmas is literally so close. We can almost taste it. But there is just one thing standing between you and the big day: FINALS. It's not the studying, lack of sleep, last minute cram sessions or crappy food intake that is the worst... but the fact that you cannot focus because, well, CHRISTMAS. How do professors expect you to focus when Christmas is soooo soon. For all my fellow Christmas lovers out there, I feel your pain.

One of the most dreaded places on campus is the library. Nothing awesome ever happens here. Usually, the only reason you're here is because you've procrastinated so long that the library is the only place you'll actually get stuff done. It gives you this feeling of sadness and impending doom. You have no idea how this is going to go or how long you'll be here, but you do know it is about to be the most excruciating experiences yet. But it has to get done, so you drag yourself to the lovely library.

With each new year comes new goals.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
