A wise person once said, "Give a woman the right lipstick, and she can conquer the world." They couldn't be more correct. Lipstick lovers can't go a day without being pretty and plump, and when we are, we feel like we can do anything. I counted recently, and I have over 30 tubes of lipstick. My sister counted, and she had over 50. It might sound crazy, but you don't call someone crazy that has a color for every outfit. Lipstick lovers have tubes in their bathroom, their purses, their wallets, their backpacks, sometimes even their cars (if you don't live in Texas, that is). We do not discriminate -- liquid, tube, matte, gloss, bold, bright, or neutral -- the list could go on. Lipstick lovers love it all, though we do have our personal favorites. Here is the best ranked lipstick for those of you interested in dabbling in the lipstick experience:

1. ColourPop: ColourPop liquid lipstick ranks number one easily. Not only does it last all day after one application (not even joking -- I could fall asleep with it on and sleep all night and I wake up with perfect lips), but it is also only $6.00. That's right people -- $6. They have a variety of colors to choose from, but my personal favorite is 'Trap.'

2. Jeffree Star Velour liquid lipstick: This tops the charts at spot #2, because the colors are extremely bold, and they don't flake. One application and you're good for the day. The only reason this ranks number two is due to the fact that it is $18.00. Get 'Posh Spice' while you can, because it is an overall favorite and always sold out.

3. MAC: This is your basic starter lipstick, but is a great quality. I personally love MAC because of the variety of colors and textures. The only down side is that you might have to apply a few times throughout your day. They range from $17.00-$20.00. Everyone loves the colors 'Velvet Teddy', 'Twig', and 'High Tea.' I love to mix and match 'Film Noir' and 'Honey Love.'

4. Anastasia Beverly Hills: This $20.00 lippie is a new favorite to most. This liquid lipstick comes in 21 shades, and dries very quickly without smudging. In order for it to stick, however, you must make sure your lips are exfoliated. Most really enjoy the color 'Lovely'.

5. Stila: This ranges from somewhere in the $20.00-25.00 range depending on what kind you get. The great thing about Stila is they have lip liners, liquid lipsticks, Plumping Primer, and a Lip Glaze. This brand of cosmetics gives you the full package. My favorite color is 'Caramello,/' and it will typically stay most of the day.

6. Kylie Cosmetics: The infamous Kylie lip kit is worth all the hype. These products are on the more expensive end, being $29.00, but the kit comes with a lip liner and liquid matte lipstick to match. Unfortunately, they are sold out a lot of the time, but a fan favorite is the lip kit titled 'Kristen'.

7. Kat Von D Beauty: This cosmetic brand has a variety of lippies, kits, and even lip/nail polish duos. I personally use Kat Von D's liquid lipstick and I am always satisfied. If you put it on incorrectly, it is hard to take off once it is on though. The prices range from $19.00-$35.00 depending on the buy. I really enjoy 'Lolita II.'

8. Fresh Sugar lip balm: Though this isn't exactly a lipstick to conquer the world in, it is a necessary find. This brand keeps their products natural and nourishing to your lips. The unique thing about the brand Fresh, is that they also have tinted lip treatments that even have SPF included in them. These products range from $24.00-$30.00.

9. Nyx Liquid Suede: This very inexpensive lipstick ($6.99) comes in so many vibrant colors. Unfortunately, this is what I call a "temp lip," because it only sticks to your lips temporarily. Luckily, the lipstick does stain your lips. So, even when it comes off, you still have a tint of what you were originally wearing. A bold fan fav is the color 'Run the World'.

10. Urban Decay: This was one of the first lipsticks I ever started wearing, and I have tried to stay loyal since. This brand is only $17.00 for some very thick textured colors. This brand also doesn't stay as long as I'd like it to, and it also tends to melt more easily than other lipsticks. My personal favorite (with more of a cream texture) is 'Shame.'

11. Lush Bubble gum Lip scrub: Like #8, you wouldn't expect to find this on the list, but it is completely necessary. Most of the lipsticks mentioned above suggest exfoliating your lips first, and for $9.95 you can exfoliate with bubblegum flavored scrub. A deal you can't pass up!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
