The Biggest Question Of 2019 Is Here And It's Whether Or Not To Get Lash Extensions

I got lash extensions for the first time, here's the tea.

Upon pursuing my lifelong goal of being more fashionable, I found myself asking whether or not to get eyelash extensions. Eyelash extensions are basically when you get individual eyelashes glued onto your natural lashes. Which means no falsies, no worries. Sign me the heck up.

After arriving at the conclusion that I would be interested in having gorgeous, full, lashes and this led to an extensive search. Searching for places to get eyelash extensions is more than half the battle. You don't want to spend an arm and a leg for some hair on your eyes, but you also don't want to risk contracting a nasty eye infection. After a week of research, I settled on a spot, made my appointment, and had the lashes applied.

The process of having them applied was actually really easy and quick. Expect mild burning after you open your eyes for the first time after getting your new lashes. And also expect some itching here and there. You just had hairs glued onto your eyelashes, of course, there's going to be mild itching. But when you look in the mirror, you're going to realize just how much you love your new look. So in my humble opinion, I think it's worth it.

Now I've had my lashes for around a month, this is what I've learned after having lash extensions: they're addictive. Having lash extensions is a vicious cycle. Now that most of my lash extensions have fallen out, I feel like my eyes are naked. So if you're planning on getting eyelash extensions, just know that you'll probably be getting them more than once.

Pros:

  • No need to apply falsies for around a month
  • Look decent without trying

Cons:

  • Can be pricey
  • Can potentially lose some eyelashes
  • Is addictive

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
