To The Girls Who Can Do Both

Surprisingly Low Maintenance (Sometimes)

To The Girls Who Can Do Both
The Darling Detail

Sometimes I can’t be bothered to change out of my pajamas all day. Sometimes I live on fast food for days at a time (and loving every fried minute of it). Sometimes makeup seems like the biggest waste of time. Why bother with nail polish (I’ll get too impatient to let it dry, end up messing it up, and peeling all of it off)? My laundry pile is as tall as I am. I’m a fan of making weird (and I mean weird) faces and dancing in the aisles of the grocery store. The trendiest I’ll ever be is wearing shirts that are so oversized, it looks like I don’t have shorts on underneath (but I totally do). My ideal Friday night is hanging with the fam.

But that’s not always how it is.

Other times, I could spend hours watching makeup tutorials online. Other times, I’ll try on random outfits in my room just for fun. Other times, doing my hair boosts my confidence a good ten points (fifteen points if I actually do a good job). Other times, I’d pick skinny jeans over sweat pants. Other times, I’m taking pictures specifically for Instagram and editing them to my liking. Other times, I’ll be out all day with friends, laughing obnoxiously loud (and annoying people around us). I could easily do some major damage at the mall in a few short hours. I’m not ashamed to say Starbucks is my beverage destination of choice (and yes I do enjoy a nice PSL). I relate to Clueless on a spiritual level.

Sometimes I literally don’t care, and other times I want you to applaud how even my eyeliner is. It’s confusing to be me sometimes I guess.

I kinda like it though.

So here’s to the girls who are an absolute mess half of the time and Elle Woods the rest of the time. The girls who feel just as confident running to class with their wet hair in a bun as they do in a dress.

I mean “get you a girl that can do both”, right?

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
