The love-hate relationship we all have with our makeup.

15 Struggles Anyone Who Loves Makeup Will Understand

1. Feeling your foundation melt off on a hot day

Surviving warm summer days with your makeup intact is one of the most difficult tasks to endure.

2. Making plans with a friend and getting a text that reads “I’ll be there in 20”

Do you not realize it takes me 20 minutes just to decide which Naked palette to use?

3. Getting a paycheck and immediately running to Sephora

I have no self-control, but I honestly don’t care.

4. Having one eyebrow that always looks amazing, but the other that can't get it together

I can always count on my left eyebrow, but I don't even trust the right one.

5. Making your winged eyeliner PERFECT, but then realizing you have no idea how to replicate it onto your other eye

I never have more focus, concentration, or artistic ability than when I’m trying to get that perfect winged eyeliner.

6. Thinking your makeup is flawless, but then walking into different lighting and it’s a completely different story

How can some lighting be so nice to me, but other lighting be so cruel?

7. Before vs. After a night out

Nothing is worse than coming home, looking in a mirror, and wondering, “At what point did half of my eyebrow rub off and why didn’t anyone tell me one of my lashes fell off?”

8. Watching one innocent tutorial on contouring turns into a four hour binge fest of makeup tutorials

I swear my makeup tutorial binges are worse than my Netflix binges.

9. “I’m going to do natural makeup today.”

Somehow whenever I say this I end up with a smokey eye and winged eyeliner?

10. When someone tries to touch your face

My highlight is my pride and joy; do not take that away from me with your sticky hands.

11. Getting your mascara perfect… and then blinking

Is looking like a raccoon in style?

12. Or worse… getting your face makeup perfect and then smearing your face with your mascara

RIP to my contour.

13. Having the best makeup day, but not leaving the house

I’ll post a selfie on my story, it’s basically the same thing, right?

14. Listening to people say, “You would be so much prettier if you didn’t wear SO much makeup”.

I do not need you or your negativity in my life.

15. Always running out of space for your makeup

I don’t think there will ever be a time where I’ve completed my makeup collection, but I don’t want to live in a world where that happens.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
