The One Beauty Product I Refuse to Live without

There are billions upon billions of makeup products that exist and I can live without all of them except one.

Some of you are going to read this article and you're going to think "Damn, she's crazy," and some of you are going to read this and think "Oh my god, she gets it!" Don't get me wrong, I love makeup. I love doing my eyebrows, I love doing some sharp wings here and there, I love bright red lipstick, and I love doing some nice wispy lashes. I love it all. I waste so much of my money on makeup and to be honest, I couldn't care less! Okay, yes I care that I'm broke because of my makeup addiction but also like, come on! MAKEUP!

Everyone has that one product they can't live without or even that one product that they can't leave the house without. For some of you, it's mascara. For others, it's your eyebrows. It could also be blush, or highlighter, or bronzer, or even eyeliner. Everyone has their little something-something and trust me, I am all for it.

For me though, it's none of those things. So now you're probably stumped. You're probably thinking, "Oh my god, she's one of those girls who refuse to leave the house without foundation." If you thought that, then let me just tell you absolutely not! I am the world's laziest person and sometimes can't even be bothered to brush my hair so if you think I'm going to put on foundation every single day then try again!

I'm sure I've kept you waiting long enough... the one product I can't leave my house without is... chapstick!

Some of you probably don't consider chapstick as makeup but I definitely do. It moisturizes your lips and it can even be tinted if you wanted it to be. And if you don't want it tinted, it's simply just a little gloss and shine for you.

If I had to be honest, I probably own about 5 different chapsticks right now. I have my car chapstick, my purse chapstick, my bedroom chapstick, my backpack chapstick, my work chapstick (in my apron), and a bathroom chapstick. That probably seems so obsessive to you but for me, it's not enough.

Make fun of me all you want, but at least I'll never have chapped lips.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college 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.
