Picking a nail color can quite honestly feel like the most important decision of your life… for about two weeks until the color chips and you have to do it all over again. I look for cute nail designs and color inspiration because c’mon, who else feels like they have their entire life together when their nails are done? With a fresh set of nails, I feel like the unstoppable bad bitch that I am.

1. Baby pink

This is currently what’s on my nails. I love it so much because it’s simple with a pop of color. It feels clean and classy


2. Matte black

I think this look is SO cool! I've always wanted to do it.

3. One different colored finger

Typically, the ring finger is the different colored one, but I’ve seen looks that have the index finger or the middle finger has a different color. In reality, it can be any finger you want!

4. A glossy nude

Ugh. My go – to. I love a good nude color, whether it be a nude lipstick or a nude nail polish. It goes with every look and still makes your nails look stunning!

5. A glittery champagne

I. Love. Glitter. This look can be really unique for any event that you have, whether it be a formal or even New Year's Eve!


6. Classic red

Timeless. Classy. Need I say more?

7. Chrome

This is a newer nail trend that I’ve seen on social media recently but it looks so badass. If you can find a nail salon that can do this, I think it’s worth a try!

8. Marble

Ugh, the ultimate aesthetic. Marble phone cases, laptop cases, and a matching set of marble nails. I’m not sure how exactly people accomplish this look on their nails, but it sure does look cool!

9. Simple white

Personally, I like this color on my nails because I'm super fair-skinned, and this cobalt white makes me look like I've got a small tan going on, and I dig the summer sun.

10. Ombré

This is more of a look that you can achieve yourself, instead of going to a salon. I’ve tried this before with a cosmetic sponge and then stamping it onto my nails. It turned out pretty sweet!


11. Olive green

I tried this color for the first time around Thanksgiving time and I was in love the second my nails were dry. It’s such a different color that people usually wouldn’t think about putting on their fingernails but it was honestly one of my favorite colors that I’ve ever chosen!

At the end of the day, they are just fingernails. While it may not matter to the rest of the world what your nails look like, it matters to you. Having painted nails is such a simple way to feel dressed up, and boost your confidence. Because c’mon, who else feels like they have their entire life together when their nails are done? I know I do. Which reminds me, I need to make my next appointment. Treat yo-self.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
