8 Weird Things You Find At The Bottom Of Your Purse

My purse is my life. And my life is in my purse. I literally carry everything with me, just in case of any kind of life emergency. My purse is so big with many compartments, I only notice the biggest compartment. Everything that is very important is at the top while things that I tend to forget is the abyss. So one day, I decided to clean out my entire purse and to my surprise, I found some things that I totally forgot about.

I was so amazed by what I had found, I called my sisters and challenged them to do the same. They all came over to my house and we dumped out our purses together. All of our belongings in one pile, we sat back and laughed, amazed by all of the unnecessary junk that has taken over my living room floor. Then, I had a bright idea to make a list of all of the things we found while giving a reason why we put that item in our purse in the first place.

Here is what we found:

Hair Supplies

(Travel-sized Flat Irons, Brushes, Combs, Hair ties, Hair Clip-ins, Mini-Hairspray, and oddly a bottle of Semi-Permanent Hair Dye)
You never know when you will need to touch up your hair while on the go.

Old Makeup

(3-year old Lipglosses, Foundation containers, cruddy Eyeshadow palettes, dusty Compact mirrors)
I have no idea nor do I use any of the makeup I found in my purse. My older sister, on the other hand, continues to use her lipgloss... gross.

Office Supplies

(Scissors, paper clips, old pens)
I have no idea why I would stuff scissors in my purse. That was one of the things that I found the most surprising.

Personal Items

(Expired condoms, tampons, and pads, shavers, old pills)
You just never know when you need one, literally.

Food

(Old bags of chips, fresh and melted candy bars, and one empty container of Juicy Juice)
This one has my sister written all over it. At first, I was surprised but then I thought about how huge her purse was and then it all made sense.

Paper

(Old receipts, business cards, notes)
I am the most guilty of this. I am a hoarder when it comes to receipts because I believe in returning things. I know, I really shouldn't, but you never know when something decides to accidentally fall off a counter and break.

Bath & Body Works

I should not have to name what I had in my purse because I believe that every woman or anyone who consider themselves a woman has at least one item from Bath & Body Works in their purse. That is all.

Money

This is my most pleasurable surprise. I always tend to hide money from myself and it tends to hide at the bottom of my purse. Either it is loose change or paper, it is always a joyous moment.

I am pretty sure that I am leaving out more items but this is all that I can remember from that night. And thinking about it, I am sure that I am not the only one who gets an unintentional trip down memory lane while cleaning out your purse, trying to remember why in the hell you put it in there, to begin with.

I encourage everyone of you to go clean out your purse, and then comment some of the weird things that you find. Trust me, you will be surprised.

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.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
