When you're in college, the bottom line is you're probably broke. Money goes to tuition, books, food and the small amount of spending money you have left over, you spend it on having a good time with your friends. Though, through the stressful years of university, you shouldn't have to compromise on how you take care of your skin. Don't worry, as a seasoned skincare junkie, I've pretty much come up with the best dupes for the super expensive skincare. So, if you want to have glowing skin and not absolutely break the bank, check out my foolproof list of cheap but great skin care products you need to know about!

1. Face masks from Freeman.

A pretty much spot on dupe for Glam Glow, you can find these guys in any Walgreens or Target, for less than 10 dollars. Plus they come with three times the amount of product as compared to its expensive counter part.

2. The Ordinary from The Abnormal Beauty Company.

A dupe for Sunday Riley Luna Sleeping Night Oil. You can order this oil from their website for $6.70 as compared to the Sunday Riley price of $105... It's literally the same thing and you get the same exact amount of product with the dupe. Also, they offer different levels of intensity for your skin types!

3. Face Scrubs from St. Ives.

A dupe for the Fresh Sugar Face Polish, $62.00 St. Ives Nourished and Smooth Oatmeal Scrub and Mask, $3.09, available at Target

4. Micellar Water from Simple.

i.pinimg.com

A dupe for any expensive oil cleanser, to be honest, you seriously can not go wrong with this magic makeup removing water. Priced at $5.39 at Target, it's literally a STEAL. ( I don't actually recommend stealing it though.)

5. Anti Wrinkle Cream from Ponds.

i.pinimg.com

By far the best dupe on this list, its the dupe for La Mer Creme De La Mer. Save yourself $100 and go to target and grab the ponds cream. It's literally the EXACT same thing, just not as cute packaging but I think we can compromise our bathroom aesthetic for some great moisturizer.

Remember, saving your skin doesn't need to break the bank ladies. So, now run don't walk to your local Target and stock up on these amazing products. Your skin and wallet will thank you.

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.

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.
