14 Things You'll Understand If You're A Makeup Addict

So many products, so little time. There's no better feeling than looking at a fresh eyeshadow palette. But if you're addicted to all things makeup, you know that being obsessed comes with it's own struggles and quirks.

1. You never have enough money to afford every product you want to try.

I realize I just spent $100 last week on the newest Urban Decay products, but it's a new week, right?

2. You could actually kill someone for telling you that you own too many products.

It's never enough!

3. It can take hours to achieve the perfect look for a night out.

It's an art. Mona Lisa wasn't painted in 30 minutes, and neither was my face.

4. And your boyfriend or date for the night will complain the entire time.

Shut up and let me work.

5. All of your friends want makeup advice and ask you to do their makeup.

6. And then you realize it's almost time to go and you haven't started yours yet.

Oops.

7. You know it's going to be a good day when your makeup is on point.

Today, I can conquer anythin

8. Trying to explain to people that no two shades of lipstick are the same.

9. Looking at other people's makeup and wishing you could wash it all off and do it for them.

Would that be inappropriate to ask?

10. You can spend hours watching tutorials on YouTube.

11. Bad hair days are irrelevant because you can fix it with a good makeup day.

Frizzy hair? That's OK. My eyebrows are on fleek.

12. When people tell you that you wear too much makeup, you want to scream.

13. You also want to scream when someone asks "who are you trying to impress?"

I'm impressing myself. You think any boy would understand the difference between my Naked 3 palette and a Forever 21 palette?

14. Trying to explain that makeup is your art form.

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
