Telling Me 'You Look Better Without Makeup' Will Never Stop Me From Wearing It

Hi, my name is Shannon, and I’m a makeup addict. I’m joking, but I seriously am obsessed with it.

I absolutely loooovvveeeee every part of putting on a full face of makeup, all the way from making sure my foundation shade is the right color match to making my eyeliner so sharp it could cut someone. To me, I don’t mind sitting in front of a mirror for an hour doing my makeup (wow that kind of sounds conceited). But it’s true. I find it fun, I find it relaxing (unless I mess up on like the LAST step…ugh), and I find it incredibly enjoyable. So sorry, but you telling me “You look better without makeup,” is NOT gonna stop me.

Not to sound full of myself, but I know I don’t need makeup. NO ONE needs makeup. Everyone, and I mean everyone, looks just as good with a naked face as they do with a face done up using a Naked eyeshadow palette. With that said, for those of you who come up and tell me that I don’t look as good with makeup as I do without, thanks for your opinion, but I didn’t ask for it.

So, you can go ahead and say what you want, go ahead and call me cake face or say that I only wear makeup because I’m insecure with how I look (which I am not). But there are people who are, and if the way that they make themselves feel better is by putting on flawless foundation with seamlessly blended out eyeshadow, then who are you to question them? Makeup is a hobby, makeup is an art form, and makeup is something that people all over the world, every age and gender, enjoy. So, just to make myself clear one more time, I’m not going to stop putting on my makeup just because you think I should do otherwise.

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.

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.
