No bathtub? No problem.

8 Bathtub-Free Lush Products College Students Need

Good college morning, everyone! Welcome to another day of weird not-homey-ness, stress and wondering when you're going to squeeze in time to shower without a bathtub.

In this month since I've been at school, I have been saddened on numerous occasions because I miss baths. I have at least two beautiful-smelling bath bombs at home that I know would take all my stress away. Why am I not sinking in the liquid sunshine and feeling the allure of blackberry and sandalwood (or whatever the package says)? This community bathroom situation is not going to cut it anymore without a little help from the Lush gods. Are they listening? I hope so.

(I can't promise any of this will be budget-friendly, but sometimes sacrifices must be made.)

1. Cup O' Coffee

Spend less money at your campus Starbucks and enjoy the benefits of coffee with this self-preserving face/body mask that increases blood flow. Your skin will feel soft, and you will smell delicious. It lasts for about two months and doesn't need to be refrigerated!

Price: $11.95 / 5.2 oz

2. Ultrabland Facial Cleanser

You actually cannot use water with this product (I have been there and made that mistake). It is super great when you'd rather remove your makeup in peace and not have to weasel your way up to the crowded counter in the bathroom. A little goes a long way!

Price: $18.95 / 1.5

3. Shampoo Bars

Not only are they all super pretty and make your hair smell great, but these palm-sized bars last up to 80 washes and won't weigh your hair down with silicone or residue. The Karma Komba bar (above) works especially well for detangling, but each bar comes with its own unique benefits.

Price: $10.95-$12.95, but mostly $11.95 / 1.9 oz

4. Sleepy Lotion

Wind down after a long day in front of your computer and get ready to fix cracked winter skin with a lavender body lotion. that will hydrate your skin and lull you right to sleep. It's super new and super popular so if you snag some, cherish it.

Price: $9.95 / 3.1 oz

5. No Drought Dry Shampoo

Sometimes there's just no time to wash your hair, and that's totally cool. This powder shampoo takes the place of regular shampoo, blends right in with even dark hair, and won't make greasiness worse like some spray dry shampoos do. It smells citrusy, so no one will ever be able to tell you skipped a wash... or four.

Price: $8.95 / 1.9 oz bottle

6. Jungle Conditioner Bar

We all know there's no time every morning to fix hair that has a mind of its own, so be proactive with this bar that tames wild hair so your straightener doesn't have to!

Price: $11.95 / 1.7 oz

7. Rub Rub Rub Body Scrub

Tired of being covered in dorm room grime? Me too. This scrub comes in a pretty bar and in a jar, but both work well to rub off dead skin and general college dirt.

Price: $9.95 / 4.5 oz bar, $22.95 / 11.6 fl oz tub

8. Bonus: Lush Tins

To transport all of Lush's minimal-packaging goodies to the shower, these reusable tins are great for you and great for the environment! Lush's shampoo, soap, and conditioner bars come "naked", so having somewhere to put them when they're not in use is probably a good idea.

Price: $3.95 / tin made to shape your product

Good luck spending all your money, and happy college!

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.
