What Your Nails Say About You
Margaux Cutler

Nails, nails, nails. Do we care about them? Maybe… Does everyone notice them at some point? ABSOLUTELY. In fact, nails are one of the first things we see. You might think I'm wrong, but think about it. The first interaction you have with a stranger is normally a hand shake! *DING* When you point to things, whether on a piece of paper or on a computer. *DING * Nails are seen everywhere, and they say a lot about the person they belong to.

If you have…

Natural nails this mean that you literally do not care to spend the time, money, or effort on your nails.



Gel manicured nails are for those who want to look low maintenance and natural, with minimal waiting time, but gel can also be expensive for those who do them regularly.


SNS/ Nexgen nails. Say what? If you haven’t heard of either of these then just wait a couple more years until it explodes! This is my all time favorite thing to do to my nails. There is no polish required and my nails can be any length and shape I want while still being perfect and shiny the entire time! People who have this care a lot about how their nails look because it costs a pretty penny but the results are out of this world. Also you are probably high maintenance.


Manicures are simple and to the point. You want your nails done, your cuticles cut, and you may be accompanied by your mother/daughter for some bonding time.


Chipped nails are for those who cared at one point in time but gave up on life really quick. Now you just don’t care and are convinced people don’t pay attention to nails anyway, so why bother?


Gel on top of acrylic you are a BALLER. That it is all - also, you should look into SNS.



Acrylic is the all time classic in my opinion. It is basically a cement on your nails and can make it through anything. If you are playing a sport or working a lot with your hands, then Acrylic is the way to go. These bad boys let you be creative no matter what life throws at you.


French nails say that you are a lady who likes to play by the rules, are a bride, or are in a sorority going through recruitment.


Long and pointy girls want to be out there and different. You also most likely don’t wear contacts otherwise you would poke you your eyes out.


Polish change only… well you have no time or skill to do your nails yourself. Can you say college budget?

No matter your nails, just remember to tip the nail tech well!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
