So I've spoken about my dry skin before (the last time from the bottom of a gnarly pit,) but this winter my skin problems have progressed past the ugly duckling who just takes off her glasses and goes to prom with the football hottie phase, to straight up horror film. I've tried everything, but the situation is just becoming more and more dire. Do you know how many lotions, and potions, I've used? Exfoliaters, hydraters, masks, masques, serums, toners, yadda, yadda, just slathered across my face to try to correct this problem? SO MANY, and my face is still falling off! I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE! I'm so angry! In fact, I'm fucking homicidal!!!!

Oh shit! Do you hear that John Carpenter synth? That's the soul music of someone who has given up hope for the good life and resigned themselves to something much more sinister. Something like murder! And what do all the cool horror movie villains have in common? WICKED COOL MASKS TO HIDE THEIR DISFIGUREMENT! All I'm going to have to do is pick a mask, get used to slaying (all day, errday, bb,) and I can finally go about life without worrying that people are judging my face! Plus everyone knows that the murder monster never dies, and by the the 10th installment maybe I'll get to go to space! Added bonus, blood is great for the skin. Just ask Elizabeth Báthory about all the pore benefits of virgin blood. And now that this is a slasher flick there will be plenty of both around! Fucking WIN-WIN!

Wait up, hold the axe, did you know that apparently lotion with aloe vera is supposed to help with dry, chapped skin? Well, I don't have any lotions with it, but I do have some of this CVS Aftersun Cooling Gel for when my dumb ass forgets sunscreen in the summer. It also has lidocaine in it, which is a topical pain killer, so it soothes the skin as well. Just make sure to add moisturizer over the top of the gel after it drys or your face will get even dryer.

Upon application my skin has instantly calmed the fuck down. In fact my "urge to kill is fading...fading....fading.... RISING!!!! fading... fading.... gone..."

Well I guess before I sharpen my knife (or maybe string my crossbow? What about a mace? Has anyone used a blowtorch, before?) I'll give this a whirl for a while and see how it goes. Can't hurt anything but the body count! Till next time, merry mayhem, and happy human hunting!

Addendumb! I don't get paid for my endorsement. I wish, but alas I don't.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
