What It's Like To Do Your Makeup, As Told By 'Parks And Recreation'

Salon

1. You start doing your makeup, and you're super psyched.

This is it. This is the day you're going to do your makeup and it's going to be perfect, and you're going to look like a goddess. You start playing your music and you get all your makeup out, and you feel the fierceness inside begin to grow.

2. But then, you start to mess up.

Within approximately 4 seconds, you've managed to do something wrong. Maybe it's mascara all over your eyelid or maybe you got concealer on your favorite shirt. Whatever it is, you want to give up and run away.

3. But like a true trooper, you continue.

You are a goddess and you are too determined to up. You just take a second to have a tiny meltdown, then you're good to go.

4. But then it's time to do your eyeliner.

Everyone knows the worst part of doing your makeup is achieving that thin line and perfect wing. And of course, you mess it up, because that's how your day is going.

5. When you try to fix anything, it just gets so much worse.

When you wipe off the bit of eye shadow that fell onto your cheek, you end up smearing it across your entire face. When you try to make your eyeliner thicker to hide your mistakes, you end up with the worst raccoon eyes know to man.

6. But when you're done, it's so worth it.

Because honestly, what's more fulfilling than doing a great face of makeup? Probably a lot of things, but at the moment you finish, it feels like the biggest achievement of your entire life.

7. And even though it's not perfect...

Your eyebrows end up a little wonky and your eyeliner wings are not exactly even. You still look fierce as hell, so who cares? Not you.

8. Then you go out into the world like...

You are a beautiful tropical fish and you know it. You go to dinner or class or out with your friends and you feel like total hot stuff. After the whole ordeal of doing your makeup, you know that you look good and you're happy.

5 Ways To Bring Positivity Into Your Life When All You Want To Do Is Drown In Self-Pity

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:

We call those people, "Honorary Roommates" and here are 11 signs you have one in your life.
