I Wear Makeup Every Day, But It's Not For You

Look good, feel good.

Through magazines, newspapers, and pictures, people believe that society today has put a fair amount of pressure on girls to look perfect.

Society today make us feel as if we need to be skinny, as if we need to walk out the door everyday with a full face of makeup and a perfectly coordinated outfit on. Your hair has to be done and you have to have that perfect contour.

Although I do believe society has made us feel this way, I personally walk out the door like this, but not because of society tells me to do. It is not because of the social pressure. And no, it is not because I want to impress someone.

I walk out of the door each and every day with a full face of makeup on and a coordinated outfit, and I do it for no one other than myself.

For some reason, when I look put together, I feel put together. When I look good, I feel good. With a full face of makeup, I feel as if I am ready to conquer the world. It's not a self esteem thing or a confidence thing, it's a me thing. I have to do whatever it is in order to succeed, and if that consists of putting on makeup and doing my hair everyday, then so be it.

So please, stop negatively asking me why I wear makeup all the time. Or why I need to dress up all the time. Or why my hair is always perfectly straight. I feel more productive and ready to take on the day when I do so. It's not the need to fit in with the rest of society, and it sure isn't for any boy. It's for me and me only.

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.
