There are have been many times where I go to sleep at night with the intention of waking up, getting ready, and looking like a functioning member of society for the day. However, by the time the morning comes I talk myself into hitting the snooze button until the very last minute leaving no time for makeup. I have gone through this routine so many times that I have found some tricks to looking awake and refreshed when I actually just rolled out of bed. Here are five simple tips to looking like you’re ready to take on the day.

1. Drink so much water

Drinking water truly is the solution for everything. Staying hydrated is is essential for keeping your skin healthy. By drinking enough water you can skip the foundation and embrace your natural skin instead!

2. Be the queen of vaseline

Rather than using highlighter to get the perfect glow, you can quickly swipe some vaseline over your cheekbones and on the tip of your nose. This way when the light hits you you’ll give the illusion of a healthy glow and it only takes a second. You can also make your lashes look great quickly by putting vaseline on them and then curling them.

3. Conceal don’t feel

Nothing makes a person look more exhausted than having dark bags under their eyes. If you’ve pulled too many all nighters dab a little bit of concealer under your eyes to brighten them immensely. I recommend using Maybelline’s instant age rewind eraser dark circle treatment concealer for quick and easy application.

4. Where’s the chapstick?

Not only can chapstick make your lips look fuller, but dabbing a little bit on your cheeks can add some color to your face without taking the time to put on blush. Burt’s bees tinted lip balm is great for this because of its creamy consistency and high pigmentation.

5. Spray and go

Priming and setting sprays can be just as helpful alone as they are when used with makeup. Using a primer like Urban Decay’s quick fix or Mario Badescu’s facial spray with aloe will leave your skin looking healthy and glowing.

All of these hacks are very quick and allow you to go from bed to out the door in under five minutes! Now you won’t have to sacrifice those five extra minutes for looking ready for the day.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
