Blemishes are not fun. Especially when you're a 20-something-year-old trying to adult in the real world. The last thing you need is a massive bloomer on your face that thinks it's here to stay for the long run. It's time to break up with your blemishes with these 5 tips to treat your aggravating acne:

1. Apple cider vinegar

Apply apple cider vinegar to that pesky pimple that seems to be growing like an uncontrollable tumor. Apple cider vinegar allows the zit to flatten and become less noticeable because it is packed with potassium, magnesium, acetic acid, and various enzymes that kill bacteria on the skin.

2. Aloe

If you think about it, aloe is a natural healer for the skin, so it would also be beneficial to blemishes and even prevent scarring. I suggest getting yourself an aloe plant to get it straight from the source.

3. Moisturizers

Moisturizing is so important with acne. Especially if you are already treating it with creams and washes that are drying out your face. Think about it, when your skin becomes too dry, your body makes more oil. That's the last thing you want. More oil, more acne. The extra oil can clog pores and create more acne. This then takes you back to square one with your acne problem. Find a moisturizer that is oil free and won't clog your pores. I use CeraVe A.M. and CeraVe P.M. to moisturize my face, and it gives me the perfect balance.

4. Sip the H2O

Water is extremely vital to our health. Drink more of it to clear up your skin. After all, our skin is the largest organ of our bodies. Water carries nutrients and vitamins as well as removes toxins from our bodies. It is suggested that we drink eight cups of water a day which is easier said than done. I suggest adding lemon, cucumber, or orange to freshen it up. Also, place it next to your coffee so you go straight to water after finishing your morning cup of java!

5. Pin it

Yes, this can be intrusive to your skin. Yet, the pin causes far less damage to your skin in comparison to you actually attempting to pop your pimple. You would knick the surface of your pimple to relieve some pressure and immediately apply a cream or home remedy to help with the healing process.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
