Bye, Winter. Hello, Spring

It is now officially spring, and while that definitely calls for spring cleaning, make sure to take time to refresh your makeup routine as well. It's a new season, and what worked for your skin during the cold winter may not work so well in the warm springtime.

1. Moisturizer

When winter made your skin dry and flakey, a heavy face cream was the ultimate fix. Now, it's just going to overload your skin and make you oily. Replace it with a gel-based moisturizer! They're designed to keep oils at bay - an essential during the warm seasons. Search for one with SPF while you're at it!

2. Foundation

Heavy-duty foundations look great in the winter, but against spring's sunny rays, it can look cakey and start to crease. Switching out your high-coverage matte foundation for a more lightweight, dewy finish one brings a healthy glow to your face - without even having to get tan.

3. Bronzer, Blush, and Highlight

While powder bronzers and blushes are great, cream or liquid products are infinitely better suited for Spring and Summer. They blend much better into the skin and look far more natural, giving you a bronzed and highlighted glow without looking heavy.

4. Mascara

It's self-explanatory ; spring = sun = beach = swimming. A waterproof mascara is a good investment to make to avoid raccoon face while you're near the water.

5. Setting spray

If you have an oily skin-type, then a mattifying setting spray will be your savior during this time. I find that when it's hot out, my makeup tends to slide more and get oily looking. Matte-finish sprays will lock in your products and prevent oils from appearing.

It can be tedious to replace your current products, but it's important to update your makeup routine to match a new season's climate!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
