There are have been many times where I go to sleep at night with the intention of waking up, getting ready, and looking like a functioning member of society for the day. However, by the time the morning comes I talk myself into hitting the snooze button until the very last minute leaving no time for makeup. I have gone through this routine so many times that I have found some tricks to looking awake and refreshed when I actually just rolled out of bed. Here are five simple tips to looking like you’re ready to take on the day.

1. Drink so much water

Drinking water truly is the solution for everything. Staying hydrated is is essential for keeping your skin healthy. By drinking enough water you can skip the foundation and embrace your natural skin instead!

2. Be the queen of vaseline

Rather than using highlighter to get the perfect glow, you can quickly swipe some vaseline over your cheekbones and on the tip of your nose. This way when the light hits you you’ll give the illusion of a healthy glow and it only takes a second. You can also make your lashes look great quickly by putting vaseline on them and then curling them.

3. Conceal don’t feel

Nothing makes a person look more exhausted than having dark bags under their eyes. If you’ve pulled too many all nighters dab a little bit of concealer under your eyes to brighten them immensely. I recommend using Maybelline’s instant age rewind eraser dark circle treatment concealer for quick and easy application.

4. Where’s the chapstick?

Not only can chapstick make your lips look fuller, but dabbing a little bit on your cheeks can add some color to your face without taking the time to put on blush. Burt’s bees tinted lip balm is great for this because of its creamy consistency and high pigmentation.

5. Spray and go

Priming and setting sprays can be just as helpful alone as they are when used with makeup. Using a primer like Urban Decay’s quick fix or Mario Badescu’s facial spray with aloe will leave your skin looking healthy and glowing.

All of these hacks are very quick and allow you to go from bed to out the door in under five minutes! Now you won’t have to sacrifice those five extra minutes for looking ready for the day.

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.

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.
