Living in college is stressful. Trying to keep up with classes, maintaining a social life, and dealing with relationships can be difficult and can take a toll on your skin. If you're anything like me, the expensive serums and cleaners are not really an option considering I'm a broke college student with $20 to my name. If you're finding that skin care is just too expensive, have no fear! Here are 5 skin care tips that not only work, but are cheap too!

1. Aztec Secret - Indian Healing Clay: $10.95

You will not be disappointed with this face mask. For only $10.95, this face mask works miracles. Not only does it clean your pores, but it also helps with acne. Not to mention that one container will last you a good three months.

2. Sephora Face Masks: $6

Although they might not be the highest quality, Sephora face masks are great for hydrating your skin during the dry winter months. Next time you find yourself in Sephora, pick up a few of these bad boys (they're only $6)!

3. Mario Badescu Drying Lotion: $17

This stuff works like magic! Put the lotion on your blemishes overnight to reduce redness and irritation. For only $17 you can say goodbye to those annoying pimples and white heads!

4. The Ordinary Toning Solution: $8.70

Most of The Ordinary products are affordable, however, The Ordinary Toning Solution is a staple product for skin care. This product effectively tones and brightens skin. Put it on before bed or before your makeup routine to ensure you have healthy looking skin throughout the day!

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
