20 Thoughts Every Tomboy Has While Attempting To Do Her Makeup

When I was growing up, I never wanted to play with Barbie Dolls or put on makeup. From sunup to sundown I was outside playing or at a sports practice. Instead of enrolling in dance and learning perfect pirouettes (I learned that word from Dance Moms) and how to get my hair into the perfect bun, I chose karate where we yelled and broke boards with our fists.

So when it came to high school when most of the other girls began getting into clothes and makeup, it comes as no surprise that I had no clue what to do. Here are 20 thoughts that every tomboy has had while attempting to do her makeup:

"Ugh, I have to wear makeup tonight."

"I'll just look at one of those makeup tutorials on YouTube and will look good in no time."

While searching on YouTube "I don't understand why you'd want to put this stuff all over your face."

Still searching on YouTube "When you wear lipstick, you have to worry about how you're eating so you don't smear it all around."

"Aha! The perfect look."

Reading description of video "I'll need primer, setting spray, highlighter, bronzer, loose and pressed shadows, a shadow base, pigments, eyeliner, lipstick, brow gel, a crease brush, a flat shader brush, a smudge brush, concealer, setting powder, blush..."

Looks at my grocery store mascara, broken Elf eyebrow gel and one half-melted tube of sample lipstick I got at the mall "Well we might have a problem."

"I can make this work."

"This cannot be that hard."

"Ok this isn't working."

"This mascara expired last year."

"Do I really have to wear makeup tonight?"

"I mean the natural look is in right now."

"I can fix this, I'll just mix some water into the mascara to get the clumps out."

"Well that didn't help. Ok, so we're down to broken Elf eyebrow gel and sample lipstick I got at the mall."

Tries to apply lipstick, but it crumbles as you press it against your lips "Ok, so no lipstick."

"I have 5 more minutes to get ready, what do I do now?"

"I'm not wearing any makeup, they'll get what they get."

"Wait, I have to do something with my hair? Maybe I can find a braiding tutorial on YouTube!"

"It cannot be that hard, I'll be done in 5 minutes."

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
