Overwhelming.

That's the word that comes to mind when I walk into Sephora, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Those who aren't beauty fans wonder why, since to them it's the same basic products throughout the entire store: foundation, lipstick, mascara, etc. The overwhelmed feeling comes into play when you realize there are simply too many variations of these products.

Do I stick with my Urban Decay foundation that I've been using for years? Or do I want to be trendy and see if the Fenty foundation is worth the hype? Should I buy the honey love MAC matte lipstick? Or step out of my comfort zone with a bright pink YSL shade?

Nevertheless, makeup fans all over the world can agree that they've had these thoughts while shopping in Sephora at least once in their lives.

1. Maybe I'll try something new

...but what if I regret it? Is it even worth it? I guess I could always return it, but do I really want to have to come back here? On second thought, I'll just stick with my usual.

2. What do you mean they stopped making that product?

I've been using it for the last five years. It's the only one that works for my skin type. Of course, this happens to me. I guess now I have to try something new.

3. Okay, do I get the cheap version or the expensive one that Jaclyn Hill raved about in her last video?

Let's be real...can I even afford the expensive one? Can I even afford anything in this store? Chill, I have a plan. I'll just get this one expensive thing instead of two cheap things. Now that's what I call compromise.

4. Wait, what's my shade?

This one is too dark, I look like I got a spray tan gone wrong. This is too light, but duh, that's why bronzer exists. Do I have to buy bronzer now too?

5. Is this good for my skin type? Do I look weird? Can someone help me?

I need an employee to walk around with me and make a list of what I should get because this is too much for me.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

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.
