And the winner of the 2018 Color of the Year is .... *drum roll please* ULTRA VIOLET!

We are blessed to have this rich shade of violet be the front-runner for the latest trends. This royal shade makes any skin tone shine brighter than the smile that completes the Queen draped in this. The classic summery bohemian style to simply posh to ultra edgy, this shade fits every lifestyle. Here are seven ways to incorporate this shade into your wardrobe.

1. Dresses on dresses on dresses

It's a summer must-have: the perfect sundress. Whether it is loosely fit or tight around your luscious curves this dress will make you shine beyond belief. Dress up with chunky sandals or beauty waves for a laid-back vibe or gold t-strap pumps and matching hair pieces for the perfect wedding guest dress.

2. Bag it up

Bags are a must for those long days at the beach and to dress you up at the tiki bar later in the evening. From Totes to petite crossbody's, you will have the perfect pop of color. Pair with holographic keychains or a soft silk scarf to complete the look.

3. Throw some shade

Good shade, that is ... Protect your beautiful eyes with ultra violet-tinted shades. Mirror sunglasses will always be a reigning fad. Stand out with this unique style to complete your everyday look.

4. Paint on some eye-catching makeup

There is nothing more satisfying than getting the perfect blend of your shimmery eyeshadow... OK, maybe getting the perfect winged eyeliner is. Deep purple makes every eye color pop, especially with the addition of chrome glitter. Spruce up your look with a matching lip color or purple high lighter.

5. Show your locks some love

Doesn't every girl dream to dye their hair some crazy beautiful color? I know I wanted purple all throughout my hair. Dark purple highlights to whole head coverage is still in the spotlight this season. Go safe with a semi-permanent or go big at your local salon. Pair with butterfly clips and floral accents to give you a delicate fairy vibe.

6. Decorate those claws

Ultra violet purple belongs on nails. It's shimmer and deep hue makes every skin tone pop. This shade is not too dark to wear in the summer, as it changes pigmentation as different light hits it. Shape your nails any way you want for the classic bad *ss look.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
