In case you haven't been on the internet the past couple of weeks, the newest "challenge" video is putting 100 or more coats of some makeup on your face. Beauty guru's all over have been doing this challenge, from 100 coats of nail polish, foundation, mascara and liquid lipstick. Then there's Jenna Marbles, who made fun of the challenge and did 100 coats of nail polish, foundation, spray tan, hairspray, liquid lipstick and fake lashes. If you haven't seen her video, click here to watch it, because it's the best one out of all of them.

I've watched all of these videos and all I have to say is: why? Why would someone willingly do that to their face? Putting 100 coats of foundation on your skin will ruin your pores and is pretty impossible to get off. Sleeping with one coat of foundation is enough to get you a huge zit on your forehead. Imagine 99 more coats and 99 more pimples. Talk about nasty.

100 coats of nail polish is absolutely disgusting. You look like you have a serious infection on your finger nails. That can ruin your nails, because rubbing nail polish remover on your polish mountain will not get the job done. You have to find a new way to take the mountain off and not completely destroy your nails. This specific challenge is basically "Yay, I did it to join the crowd but now I have to take this off so no one sees me like this in public."

100 coats of mascara. This one irritates me the most. Mascara is not cheap. When I go shopping for mascara, it is the most expensive thing I buy. Wasting the majority of your mascara on a stupid Internet trend is throwing your money to the wind. It's not pretty either. You look like a vampire and it's not cute.

This is one of the dumbest Internet trends that I can't help but watch it and it bugs me. I've done the 100 coats of liquid lipstick challenge because I was bored and I stopped around 75 because it's a waste of my money! We should be focusing our time on what's going on in the world and not what 100 coats of foundation looks on a human.

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 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?
