One of the most annoying things is when you smear your lipstick on your blouse when you put it on, or just staining your clothing in general. It looks unprofessional and it sucks that even when you wash it, the color is still slightly visible. Here are my top 8 life hacks that I would highly recommend for people who like me, are pretty clumsy.

1. Lemon For A Sweat Stain:

This mostly happens during the summer depending on how much you sweat. Usually, when you sweat while wearing light colored clothing the sweat tends to leave a light colored residue. These stains almost NEVER come off when you wash them. The sour part of the lemon is an acid that soaks things up. So when this is put on the sweat stain the clothing piece is pretty much good as new.

2. Vinegar On Coffee Stains or Blood Stains:

If you like coffee and you drink it every morning, then chances are you may have experienced this plenty of times. Especially when you are in a rush to be somewhere. If you get a small bowl and mix vinegar into it. Use an old tooth brush to help scrub the coffee stain off of the piece of clothing that was extracted with coffee and wa-la! Also, adding vinegar to any blood stain will also reduce the appearance of the reddened area.

3. Dish Soap For Chocolate Stains:

Chocolate is one of the most branched out sweets ever. Ranging from cake to pudding, and especially candy. Chocolate also happens to be a darker color and if it is a candy bar then that can be a mess. If you take a warm towel and add dish soap of any type, most of the chocolate stain will disappear.

4. White Chalk For A Oil Stain:

I don't know about you, but whenever I cook with any type of oil, it always splashes on me. If this ever happens then I usually throw my T-shirts away. I recently read online that white chalk gets rid of the oils in clothing. I tried it myself and was shocked when I saw that basic sidewalk chalk got rid of an oil spot on my favorite band tee!

5. White Wine For A Red Wine Spill:

You've had a long day at work or even school and just want a small glass of wine to go with your dinner, but then you spill it all over your daily wear. If you have white wine then quickly add that over the red wine stain. Lightly rub the red wine stain with a dry damp towel.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
