What Your Nail Polish Says About You: College Edition

The choices are endless, but the number of days a fresh manicure lasts are limited

What Your Nail Polish Says About You: College Edition

Roses are red, violets are blue, your nail polish is tacky and says a lot about you. An inspiring original poem, by yours truly.

1. Neon.

You probably painted your nails instead of studying for your test tomorrow, and you’re probably late to everything (it happens). #isittoolatenowtosaysorry?

2. Dark blue.

It’s probably fall season and you’re either super trendy or you really want to be. You probably chose Essie’s “After School Boy Blazer” or OPI's "Russian Navy" for your next Instagram of a Starbucks holiday cup in mind. You probably hope the comments include something along the lines of “my bestie is a hand model!” #Yourebasic.


3. French manicure.

You probably have a formal or some sort of date event coming up and you probably have too much time on your hands. #hesnotimpressedthough.

4. Gel.

You’re probably a senior with a job already lined up post-college. #bowdown #seniorstatus.

5. Chipped dark green.

You probably wear your pajamas and Ugg slippers to class because you’re lazy. You probably cared at one point but that ship has sailed. You bite off more than you can chew. Yes, pun intended. (And, oh, we’ve noticed).

6.Cheetah print.

You probably pull over when you see a hurt animal on the side of the road, and your entire camera roll is filled with dog pix. That, or you wish you were the fifth member of the Cheetah Girls. #cuzwearesistahs.


7. Party nail.

You’re probably indecisive and couldn’t decide which color. You probably try to keep up with the latest trends, but your Cosmo magazines are collecting dust (a.k.a. you’re so 2000 and late).

8. Shatter.

You’re probably here visiting for the weekend and having a f***ing blast pretending to be a college freshman (how’s that going for you?). You’re probably a proud owner of a Sephora VIP card and always get that free birthday gift. #youdoyou.

9. Flower/nail art.

You’re probably that friend who always starts their sentences with, “remember when…” because you’re #nostalgic. Time to grow up babe; welcome to college! See “Dark blue” above for some unoriginal inspiration.

10. Clear coat or none.

You’re probably a really nice person, but about that personality -- we’ll work on it. You’re also probably a gym-a-holic. #gains.

11. Hot pink.

You’re probably that one student in class who asks a pointless question even though the teacher insists, “there is no such thing as a dumb question!” #thatswhatyouthink.

12. Black:

You're emo. Or it's Halloween. Either way..

Disclaimer: none of the above has been scientifically proven. Please don’t be offended by my nonsense. I’m just opinionated. #firstamendmentrules.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
