T'was the night before Christmas all through the town everyone is panicking about what to get for their makeup loving friend.

"I love my friend, but I'm broke so I can't get the James Charles Palette."

Relax my dear friend, there are things that you can get your makeup loving friend for cheap. Between a thing of Jeffree Star Lipstick to Makeup Brushes, there are things you can get your friend without breaking the bank. Here are 10 things to get for under $20 for the makeup loving person in your life.

Maybelline Lipsticks- $4.99-$8.99

These lipsticks are good and cheap, but they are matte and stay on. I personally use Maybelline any chance I can. The products are available at Target, Ultra, and Walmart.

BH Cosmetics: Take Me Back To Brazil Eye-shadow Palette- $11.70-$18

https://www.bhcosmetics.com/products/take-me-back-to-brazil-35-color-pressed-pigment-palette?variant=9121503510564&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_vqY95Ws3wIVhWSGCh0qOAdFEAQYAiABEgIyUvD_BwE

Perfect for anyone who loves to play with colors and create vibrant looks. This palette is available at Ultra Beauty and online.

Jeffree Star Lipstick-$18 plus shipping

Unfortunately with shipping rates you may go a little over from your budget. These beautiful lipsticks are $18 each. However, rumor on the street they can also be excellent liquid eyeshadow so you are getting your money's worth. They also have every color that you can think of.

Colourpop: Brown Sugar Palette- $12+shipping

https://colourpop.com/products/brown-sugar

This palette is good for the person who loves neutral shades and wants to slight enhance their natural beauty. Unfortunately, this palette is found only online, so get it fast before Christmas.

Covergirl: LashBlast Mascara- $8.99

Available at Target, Sephora, and the Covergirl website, this mascara will bring your lashes higher than the gods. Covergirl is a good brand for mascara and I love how they define each lash.

Morphe: Smoochy Premium Lashes-$10

The picture is not good quality so here is the link. These lashes look uniform and natural when it on the eyes. If you know someone that wears lashes, get them these!

Urban Decay's Shadow Box-$18 plus shipping

https://www.thezoereport.com/beauty/makeup/best-eye-shadow-palettes-20

Urban Decay is known for their expensive eye-shadows, so when they come out with something under $30 it is a miracle. However, you can get this palette online, but it is worth the struggle.

e.l.f Brush Set- $12+shipping

Things I Am Actually Going To Do This Semester

Or at least try to do.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
