If I Wear Make-Up, It's All Or Nothing

It can just be so much work.

There are three different types of girls in the majority, the girl who wears make-up every single day, the girl who wears no make-up and the girl who wears make-up occasionally. I am the latter of the three, but to be honest, I cannot do casual make-up. I am not the girl who can throw on a little bit of make-up and go on my way. If I am putting it on, then I am doing a full face of make-up.

Now don't get me wrong, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the girl who wears make-up, but I just simply cannot justify it. First of all, make-up is expensive and when you use it that regularly, it will have to be replaced more often and that can end up costing you a good amount of money, especially based on what make-up you end up buying.

Another reason I barely wear make-up is just that of the time it would take in the morning to do it. I'm sorry, but I value my sleep and if I can get an extra 20 minutes of sleep, I will take that overdoing make-up any day. Plus some mornings are already hard or crazy as it is, so adding make-up on top of that can just be too much.

Make-up is such a great thing though. When you get those days where you have plenty of time to get ready and you can spend time on your make-up and it turns out really well, it's such a great feeling. I may only wear make-up when I feel like it or for special occasions, but I still love it.

From beauty tutorials to make-up reviews, it is so amazing to see what people can do with make-up. Some of these looks leave me in awe because of how talented these people are and the looks that they can achieve. On top of being able to create these awesome looks, make-up adds to the beauty that you already have. There are sometimes where it just feels really nice to get all dolled up.

Make-up is also pretty a pretty fun thing to do. From trying different eyeshadows to lipsticks and even highlighters, there are so many possible mixes and combinations that you can achieve and create. In the end, even if you don't wear make-up on a daily basis or even if you do, you have to find the routine that works best for you and your lifestyle. Just because you don't wear it every day, doesn't make you any less beautiful. I may not be a fantastic beauty guru or even a great make-up artist, but I still truly enjoy make-up and I like wearing it, but if I do wear it, I am going all in or all out. There is no in-between and that's okay!

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?

sisters

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 is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. 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.
