8 Things All Girls Do to Get Ready

As a girl in college, I have learned a special routine for getting ready to go out for the night. This is a very particular process but every girl seems to have similar ways of getting ready. This is my personal routine and what goes through my head when I am getting ready. And for those reading who aren't girls, here's a little look into our lives...

1.Wash from Head to Toe

I only take a shower if I went to the gym during the day, but even though I am about to be covered in sweat for the most of the night it's still good to show up feeling clean :)


2. Turn some MUSIC on

Not just any music. Exciting LOUD music. You're going out. Some ghetto rap music is cool, but Top 50 in the USA on Spotify is my go-to station, highly recommended.


3. Dry hair do hair

I don't actually dry my hair or even do it sometimes. But when I do, I use a blow-dryer to give my hair volume. I know most people use straighteners but seriously BEAUTY TIP: Straighteners burn your hair and give you fly-aways.

4. Brush the pearlies

I actually don't know if other girls do this, but I like brushing my teeth before I put on my lipstick. Less of a hassle, and zero mess.


5. Paint

No seriously, makeup is a work of art, and is probably the most important part of getting ready and even this has an order to it. Foundation, eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, eyebrows, blush, IN THAT EXACT ORDER. Don't forget to also bump to your music while doing so, except when you're doing your eyeliner.

6. The outfit (s)

By outfits I mean all the outfits you try on before you decide you want to wear the first one you chose.

My brain: "Should I wear that really cute shirt that I bought last year? Nope, probably just guna go with the usual crop top, high-waisted jeans, and wedges."

7. Selfies

After working on your canvas (yourself), you have to show the world what you have achieved. If you don't take a selfie, it probably means you're not really going out anyway (poser).

8. Meet your Gang and Go

Can't show up anywhere alone :)

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
