All of us college girls love a good pair of leggings. Chances are we have more than a few pairs of plain black ones so we always have some to wear. They are a vital part of our wardrobe and one we would not survive without.

Now getting ready for school is not completely normal in college. We can go to class confidently knowing that everyone is going to be wearing the same t-shirt they fell asleep in the night before.

But every now and then we get this burst of motivation to get ready... kinda. Keep reading to see how you can achieve that 'I got ready' look without actually taking the time to get ready.

1. Ditch the leggings.

Yes, I said it. When you roll out of bed instead of just finding two flip flops that match and head out the door, take a few moments to swap out your beloved leggings for a denim skirt or shorts. Denim shorts or a skirt can be worn with t-shirts, blouses, crop tops, and just about anything else. They are just as versatile as those black leggings that you love, but are a little more stylish. Whatever you do... just don't overthink it.


2. Do the prep work.

What do I mean by 'prep work?' Wash your face. Brush your hair. Do a face mask before you go to bed. The works. Pamper yourself a little bit. Have a girls night and take turns painting each other's nails. Not only do you get to spend some quality time with you friends, but something as simple as painted nails seems to make us feel like we've got it much more together than we (maybe) actually do.


3. Get up and get moving.

Anyone like to workout? If so, when do you do it? Get up in the morning before you classes and get moving. Go for a run, take a class, or hit the gym. This helps you wake and gets the blood moving. Now you will not be walking in to class with bags under your eyes.


4. Do only the basic makeup.

The basics are different for everyone, but you don't need to go through your full make up routine to achieve a getting ready look. In fact, a natural look is in. A quick swipe of mascara, filling in your eyebrows, foundation, under eye concealer, and a lip moisturizer should do the trick. Maybe even add some color to your cheeks or skip the foundation all-together in order to let your skin breathe.


5. Leave your hair tousled.

Maybe you took a shower before you went to bed and didn't blow dry your hair. Thankfully, a tousled look for hair is in. Brush through it with your fingers, use a texture spray to embrace whatever texture your hair was given from the night before, and you can even loosely curl large sections to add a little more volume.

You don't have to actually spend an hour every morning getting ready. It's easier to achieve that 'I got ready' look than you think!

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.
