What It's Like To Do Your Makeup, As Told By 'Parks And Recreation'
Salon

1. You start doing your makeup, and you're super psyched.

This is it. This is the day you're going to do your makeup and it's going to be perfect, and you're going to look like a goddess. You start playing your music and you get all your makeup out, and you feel the fierceness inside begin to grow.

2. But then, you start to mess up.

Within approximately 4 seconds, you've managed to do something wrong. Maybe it's mascara all over your eyelid or maybe you got concealer on your favorite shirt. Whatever it is, you want to give up and run away.

3. But like a true trooper, you continue.

You are a goddess and you are too determined to up. You just take a second to have a tiny meltdown, then you're good to go.

4. But then it's time to do your eyeliner.

Everyone knows the worst part of doing your makeup is achieving that thin line and perfect wing. And of course, you mess it up, because that's how your day is going.

5. When you try to fix anything, it just gets so much worse.

When you wipe off the bit of eye shadow that fell onto your cheek, you end up smearing it across your entire face. When you try to make your eyeliner thicker to hide your mistakes, you end up with the worst raccoon eyes know to man.

6. But when you're done, it's so worth it.

Because honestly, what's more fulfilling than doing a great face of makeup? Probably a lot of things, but at the moment you finish, it feels like the biggest achievement of your entire life.

7. And even though it's not perfect...

Your eyebrows end up a little wonky and your eyeliner wings are not exactly even. You still look fierce as hell, so who cares? Not you.

8. Then you go out into the world like...

You are a beautiful tropical fish and you know it. You go to dinner or class or out with your friends and you feel like total hot stuff. After the whole ordeal of doing your makeup, you know that you look good and you're happy.

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

bruce springsteen album cover born in the usa

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.
