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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
