The 7 REAL Reasons Why Girls Wear Makeup
Shayla Milligan

What some people don't understand is that girls wear makeup for themselves — not for the guy she likes or the guy she has been with. Girls wear makeup because they want to for them. They want to feel confident, beautiful, and mature. Some girls don't wear makeup and still feel confident and beautiful. Other girls do not, let it be from people in their life now always being on them about their looks or people who once were in their life and affected them in this way.

Here are some of the real reasons why girls wear makeup:

1. It's a fun spare time activity.

It's her day off, the weather is terrible, or she has hours before she has to go anywhere and doing her makeup is something some girls do to waste their spare time.

2. It's fun to experiment with.

One day you can wear purple makeup and the next you can wear green. It's just fun to try new looks and not care!

3. Makeup can help to look presentable and awake.

Being up the night before a presentation, preparing for finals, or even an interview, makeup has the magical powers of making people look awake and presentable for the interview and presentation.

4. It balances out the uneven skin tones.

Self-explanatory.

5. You can use it to highlight certain features.

Some makeup highlights the eyes, and the pleasing features on a face; while others don't highlight the unwanted features (acne).

6, It's an easy way for them to express themselves.

Girls use makeup to express themselves in ways that they otherwise never could. They put the makeup on that they think is them, and without that look, they don't feel like themselves.

7. CONFIDENCE.

The main reason girls wear makeup is to feel confident. When they have the makeup on they feel like a queen and invincible. They feel unique and noticed, and that's what is important.

Don't judge a girl because they wear makeup to feel good about herself. Let her be her and live her life. Bottom line is no matter what, wearing makeup or not, all of the girls out there are beautiful, unique, and amazing. Keep doing you ladies!!

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.

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.
