My two loves are make up and perfume. There is a scent of perfume for anyone whether it be floral, sweet, or maybe musky. So do not be discouraged if you feel like you can never find a scent. For me though, I love all kinds of perfume. Like make up, you cannot just have one eyeshadow palette. No, you must have several eyeshadow palettes in order to have several color choices. So I am going to give you my top ten fragrances.

1. Pink Sugar by Aquolina-

Price: $17.24 from Fragrance Net

This fragrance is my number one fragrance of all time! It is a nice sweet scent that will have people coming up to smell you. I mean it you literally will have people coming up to smell you. When wearing this I am constantly told I smell like cotton candy. Who does not want to smell like cotton candy? No one ever.

2. Decadence by Marc Jacobs-

Price: $71.99 from Fragrance Net

Here is another awesome fragrance. This fragrance is another favorite of mine because well people always ask me what I am wearing. I have had guys even stop me to ask what I am wearing because they want to get it for their girlfriends. This scent is sweet and sexy. The perfect scent for going out on the weekend. A little goes a long way. I was obsessed with this scent so when I got it the first time I was so excited.

3. Black Opium by YSL-

Price: $115.00 from Sephora

Another great scent especially for fall is Black Opium is my fall and winter signature scent. I got this for Christmas 2015 as a gift, and I have been obsessed ever since. Please go check it out you will love it too. It is a little sweet but very subtle. It was extremely popular during Christmas while I was working as a fragrance vendor for Jimmy Choo. I watched them sell out in stores of it because it was so popular during Christmas. There is also an eau de toilette if you are not a fan of parfum. This way people who do not like strong scents can wear it also.

4. Prada Candy Kiss by Prada-

Price: $118.00 at Sephora

Is a nice fresh scent which I adore! Do you ever just want a nice light scent to wear out on a date or to a professional meeting? Well this is a nice choice! It is lighter than the others and not as sweet. It is very fresh and clean. If you don't want a super sweet or strong scent then this scent is right for you.

5. Alien by Thierry Mugler-

Price: $71.99 from Fragrance Net

This is a popular scent for college girls. This scent is different from all the others. It is so unique and lovely like I cannot describe it. This is another pretty sexy scent. It is sweet because the amber and vanilla in it, but not like Pink Sugar. Making it the perfect in between scent.

Now to everyone shopping for perfume every perfume smells different on each person due to body chemistry. So try it on and wear it around the mall while you shop. I suggest not to overload your system and try too many. If you smell to many you will get a head ache and be confused, and I as a fragrance vendor cannot then stop the confusion no matter how hard I try. So please do not smell 60 perfumes because you will sooner or later be so frustrated you will just walk away. Come in and say to a vendor or salesperson I am wanting to smell some sweet scents I have heard about this and that. If you do that you will avoid wasting time.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
