The Reasons Why I Wear Makeup

Confidence is Key

The Reasons Why I Wear Makeup
Lioness

Do you remember going into Mom's makeup bag and playing with the lipsticks and mascara? At some point in our lives, we all have used and stole our mother's makeup. Unless your mother is like my mother and bought you your own lip gloss and eye shadow when you were six years old like me! And I still steal her makeup anyway! Makeup gives me a hidden confidence. Now, I am not saying I am not confident not wearing makeup, but it sort of makes it easier.

Everyday I will go on social media and see makeup shaming or guys telling women that they do not need makeup to feel beautiful, but those girls love makeup and love the way it feels. Wearing makeup gives a woman the availability to turn into whoever they want to be. If i want to have a beauty mark on my face, I will put one on my face, and then the next day I probably don't want it back on. If I want to make my lips look fuller, I can, and then the next day they won't be. Everything is changeable, but it is reversible with makeup. It is a way of feeling free.

In the past couple of months I have come to the realization that if I was not feeling confident I would not wear makeup. It is not that I did not like the way I looked. It was me not caring how I looked and decided to pretend that I was confident, when in reality I gave up on myself. Yes, I do go out without any makeup on, and I feel perfectly fine and care about how I look; however, most of the time, I will have mascara on.

Makeup is something every girl will have experience with in her lifetime. Makeup gives the freedom to be whoever you want to be and and then go back to your normal skin whenever you want to. Anybody can wear makeup. If it makes you feel good and feel enhanced, then wear makeup. If you feel really good about yourself and want to do yourself for you, then go ahead. Makeup is a way of freedom to be whoever.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
