Makeup shaming is a trend that is way too common in this day and age.

For those of you who don't know what makeup shaming is, it is when someone bashes another person because of the amount of makeup they wear, bashing the way they do their makeup or simply the fact that they are wearing makeup at all.

People need to realize that it is no one's business, and there are no rules in makeup. so no one should be criticizing anyone.

People tend to makeup shame other people when they are not a fan of applying makeup or because they want to put other people down.

Some people even makeup shame because they feel another person shouldn't wear makeup and should just embrace their natural beauty.

People also feel that if you wear makeup you are “trying too hard”, but most of these reasons are ridiculous. Regardless of the reasons makeup shaming is done, it's something that shouldn't be.

Everyone has the right to wear and express themselves the way they choose and just because it doesn't fit ones preference doesn't mean it should be looked down upon.

Everyone has the right to do as they choose. Want to get a tattoo? Sure, go ahead.

Want to get a boating license? Sure, go ahead.

People do things they love, and they love the things they do.

So if someone loves makeup why should they get criticized for that?

Society has this image that people do their makeup because they want to impress people. I’m sure for some people that is the case.

But, for most of us?

We view makeup as art and just simply like the way we look with it on.

What’s so bad about that?

Not everyone is interested in the same things, but just because someone isn’t into the same thing as another person doesn’t mean they should bash it.

People often forget that makeup isn’t just to make yourself look better--it’s also art.

It’s a way to express a feeling.

Feeling spring vibes one day? You can wear a soft pink/peachy eye look.

Feeling dark vibes one day? You can wear a dark lipstick.

You can mix colors together, recreate things, and best of all you can make yourself or another person look however they want.

People often forget that everyone has their own rights and choices. If someone wants to wear makeup whether they are a boy or a girl then who cares?

Everyone is entitled to their own right, and their own free will.

Instead of worrying about what everyone is doing, people need to learn to love and accept one another.

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.

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?
