I'm The Worst At Being A 'Girly Girl', But I'm The Best At Being Myself

It's not all about whose liner is most 'on fleek'

On any given day, it takes me 20 minutes max to get ready for class. I roll out of bed, take a five-minute 'power shower', and throw on clean clothes. If I'm feeling fancy, I might swipe a little mascara over my eyelashes to make myself look more awake.

Seems pretty normal, right? Well, it's really no different when I get ready to go out. I mean, curling my hair is a HUGE deal to me! I don't even bother trying to put on a full face of makeup because I know that it'll melt right off by the end-of-night rendition of 'Mr. Brightside'. As for walking in heels? Forget about it.

I'll choose my Adidas Superstars over stilettos [almost] any day -- I'll admit that it's fun to occasionally dress up. (If I'm wearing a dress and heels, it's bound to be an interesting night). Nevertheless, I have absolutely zero expertise in these areas, which often results in a few texts or phone calls to friends who are better at dolling themselves up than I will ever be.

I'm clearly super low maintenance in comparison to a lot of other girls, which definitely has its pros and cons. I wish I knew what highlighter does for your face, and I'd love to learn how to paint my own fingernails for a change. In all honesty, I'd rather pay other people to do these things for me, instead of screwing up myself. At the end of the day, no matter what, I'll be chilling in sweats with my hair in a high ponytail. Doesn't that sound amazing?

As for other things, I've never cried during a movie except for Marley & Me (I mean, come on, guys). I'm always up for trying new things, but Nicholas Sparks films don't exactly entertain me. TV shows that lots of girls are into also do not appeal to me. I'll never understand the obsession with "The Bachelor" because as far as I know, it's a show about fake love. For real, what's all the hype about?

I wish I could relate to a lot of my friends, but we have a ton of different interests. And that's totally OK. I'd much rather watch a hockey fight than any movie with a cliche plot line, and you'll never find me putting in excessive amounts of effort to look good. However, I'm at that point in my life where I'd rather not change it up. I'm comfortable in my own skin, and that's all that matters.

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:

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

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.
