What Your Nail Polish Says About You: College Edition

The choices are endless, but the number of days a fresh manicure lasts are limited

What Your Nail Polish Says About You: College Edition

Roses are red, violets are blue, your nail polish is tacky and says a lot about you. An inspiring original poem, by yours truly.

1. Neon.

You probably painted your nails instead of studying for your test tomorrow, and you’re probably late to everything (it happens). #isittoolatenowtosaysorry?

2. Dark blue.

It’s probably fall season and you’re either super trendy or you really want to be. You probably chose Essie’s “After School Boy Blazer” or OPI's "Russian Navy" for your next Instagram of a Starbucks holiday cup in mind. You probably hope the comments include something along the lines of “my bestie is a hand model!” #Yourebasic.


3. French manicure.

You probably have a formal or some sort of date event coming up and you probably have too much time on your hands. #hesnotimpressedthough.

4. Gel.

You’re probably a senior with a job already lined up post-college. #bowdown #seniorstatus.

5. Chipped dark green.

You probably wear your pajamas and Ugg slippers to class because you’re lazy. You probably cared at one point but that ship has sailed. You bite off more than you can chew. Yes, pun intended. (And, oh, we’ve noticed).

6.Cheetah print.

You probably pull over when you see a hurt animal on the side of the road, and your entire camera roll is filled with dog pix. That, or you wish you were the fifth member of the Cheetah Girls. #cuzwearesistahs.


7. Party nail.

You’re probably indecisive and couldn’t decide which color. You probably try to keep up with the latest trends, but your Cosmo magazines are collecting dust (a.k.a. you’re so 2000 and late).

8. Shatter.

You’re probably here visiting for the weekend and having a f***ing blast pretending to be a college freshman (how’s that going for you?). You’re probably a proud owner of a Sephora VIP card and always get that free birthday gift. #youdoyou.

9. Flower/nail art.

You’re probably that friend who always starts their sentences with, “remember when…” because you’re #nostalgic. Time to grow up babe; welcome to college! See “Dark blue” above for some unoriginal inspiration.

10. Clear coat or none.

You’re probably a really nice person, but about that personality -- we’ll work on it. You’re also probably a gym-a-holic. #gains.

11. Hot pink.

You’re probably that one student in class who asks a pointless question even though the teacher insists, “there is no such thing as a dumb question!” #thatswhatyouthink.

12. Black:

You're emo. Or it's Halloween. Either way..

Disclaimer: none of the above has been scientifically proven. Please don’t be offended by my nonsense. I’m just opinionated. #firstamendmentrules.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
