Taking selfies has become a daily part of life, practically a routine - almost like brushing your teeth or eating a meal. In the past, people may have gotten strange looks if they were seen flashing a smile or pouting for their smartphone in public, but now it's a pretty normal occurrence. If you ask us, a little too normal.

But with its increasing prevalence comes increasing concern for us, the young women (and men!) who are most selfie-struck. When we're constantly being inundated with images of perfectly coiffed girls pouting behind flawless Insta filters - and possibly even using apps to change their appearance - it can feel impossible to keep up. We feel like we need to look a certain way, or pose a certain way - 'skinny arm,' anyone? Come on - does this sound healthy?

Take the latest Internet trend gone viral: the #KylieJennerChallenge. Many tweens and teens alike wasted no time trying to emulate the plump lips of the famous Kardashian-Jenner family member by suctioning their lips with shot glasses. Call it a hilarious joke, but the trend sends a more powerful message about how easily social media becomes a platform of comparison - one that can lead to bruised lips and major body image insecurities.

So to challenge this society of "me," activewear company Soffe has launched #TheUsProject, which aims to "widen the lens" to include your friends and peers. Instead of giving in to competition that selfies create, #TheUsProject movement encourages you to motivate and give strength to one another, which will, in turn, create a much fuller and more beautiful picture. Trust us!

The next time you're out with your friends and you're all about to individually snap some selfies, gather together and take the ultimate group photo! Use #TheUsProject hashtag and you could be featured on the movement's Instagram! You'll also be entered to win #TheUsProject apparel to show your support for the movement, so grab your friends and get Insta-ing!

We're getting in on the action, too. Check out our all-inclusive shot below to see our group camaraderie from Her Conference 2014 - no selfies allowed! Every day, we're so inspired by our driven, intelligent, creative collegiettes! We wouldn't be the HC we are today without them! That's why we're proud to take pictures together, rather than take selfies apart.

Every collegiette has heard about the dating app Tinder—with 50 million users as of March 2015, it’s almost impossible to avoid hearing about it. With minimal effort (literally, you either swipe right or left) you have the opportunity to match with members who could became your new significant other… or that’s the dream, at least. Many competitors have begun to stake their claim in the dating app realm, most of them copying the format of the ever-so-popular Tinder app. However, for those who think that Tinder is a little bit too “mainstream” or “shallow,” About Fruit Inc. has created a similar dating app just for you. It’s calledHyped and it’s receiving a lot of, well, hype.

Hyped is “the app made by Hipsters, for Hipsters,” claims Managing Director Michael Suppo. It’s a location-based swiping app, much like many other dating apps available. However, Hyped is meant to take it one step forward; instead of connecting users looking strictly for love, the app adds a certain business component. Once a user matches with another user, they are allowed to communicate and network: think LinkedIn meets Tinder. It’s the ultimate “Tinder for Business” because it allows for users to make professional connections instead of focusing solely on attraction.

With an interesting concept behind the app, Hyped has the potential to become the hottest new app on the market. The only thing that can stop Hyped from flying to the top of the charts is its marketing; if it’s an app for hipsters, can non-hipsters use it? Will this “app for cool people,” as Suppo states, lose interest because of its target audience? Only time will tell if this business-oriented dating app will become the next best thing, or if it will fight becoming mainstream in true hipster fashion.

Finals week is tough enough as it is, but there’s always that one person who has to rub in your face how perfect she is at it all. She’s there to denounce your procrastination and offer you completely unhelpful tidbits of advice, no matter how miserable you are. Below are the 16 things that no one should ever say to a collegiette during finals. Period.

1. "Why didn’t you start that project earlier?"

2. "Is that what you’re wearing?"

3. "When are you going to start studying?"

4. "Maybe you should boycott Netflix until finals are over."

5. "Are you sure you haven't had too much coffee?"

6. "I don’t think eating a whole jar of Nutella counts as having dinner."

7. "You should probably get some sleep."

8. "If you had better grades throughout the semester, you wouldn’t have to calculate the lowest grade you can make on the final to still pass the class."

9. "Why not take a shower? It will make you feel better."

10. "Alcohol might not be the best choice right now."

11. "Facebook is just a distraction."

12. "How are you feeling about that big test?"

13. "Do you think your sudden interest in laundry might have anything to do with your desire to avoid studying?"

14. "You know your professor is not out to get you, right?"

15. "Why did you sell back your textbooks before you finished studying?"

16. "What classes are you taking next semester?"

Like, all I want to think about right now is summer. Let's focus on that, thanks!

Forget about the fact that you're graduating and have to go into the real world and attempt to be an "adult." You may be worrying about finishing you thesis or saying goodbye to your friends (sniff), but putting together an outfit for your big day is equally as important! We know how stressful it is to figure out what to wear for such a special day, so we took the liberty of creating some outfits just for you. The best part is, each of these these looks come in under $100!

Which look will you rock on graduation day, collegiettes?

Finals week might be taxing on your mind and body…

…but it doesn’t have to be all bad.

1. For instance, you have no classes, and you have the freedom to spend your days however you please.

You might have to do some studying eventually, but you’ll squeeze it in there.

2. Finals week also gives you an excuse to get a little more lenient with your beauty regimen.

3. Showering daily? Forget it. You don’t have time for that nonsense.

4. No one is supposed to look cute during finals, so you finally have an excuse to wear sweatpants for a week straight.

5. Same goes for letting up on your diet.

6. You’re under a lot of stress, so you can feel justified to eat whatever whenever you want and however much of it you please.

Want to eat a second dinner? You go for it, girl. You deserve it.

7. Study breaks give you a chance to catch up on all your TV shows.

8. And to take a lot of well-deserved naps.

9. You can say goodbye to gym obligations for a week.

10. And being nice to other people? Whatever. You can resume that once finals are over.

11. During finals, you’ll get to see for yourself just how much you’re capable of bearing…

12. …and you might amaze yourself with the things you can accomplish.

13. Which of course you can brag about to everyone later.

Though you may not make it through finals week completely unscathed…

14. …you always have the celebration that follows to look forward to.

Good luck with your exams, collegiettes!

You've heard many statistics claiming that the majority of women are wearing the wrong bra size. While fit issues are the most common blunder, there are countless other ways you might be making a bra faux-pas. Here are five mistakes you're probably making—and what to do instead!

1. Thinking you wear a specific size

When a salesperson asks you, “What size are you?” you shouldn’t be able to give a straight answer. The hard truth is that your bra size is going to vary greatly depending on the brand and even between different styles at the same store. Of course, you should have a general idea of what your ballpark size is, but it's helpful to take two or three different sizes into the dressing room to figure out which one works best. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for help! The salespeople can usually help you figure out your optimal size based on a specific brand or type. Finding your correct size is more than just an aesthetic matter. In some cases, improperly sized bras can cause some very real side effects.

2. Choosing a bra based on the tightest hooks

Speaking of sizing, you might trying on new bras the wrong way. When picking between band sizes, choose one that fits snugly (but not too tight!) on the loosest setting. Then, when your bra inevitably stretches out, you can adjust the fit by tightening it.

3. Wearing bras for too long

Although some stretching is normal, if your bra is misshapen, it’s definitely time for a shopping trip. The lifespan of a bra varies depending on the quality of the fabric and how often you wear that particular piece, but you should plan on shopping for bras around once a year. Keep in mind that poor care will decrease this time span, however!

4. Washing bras incorrectly

Feeling guilty about throwing your bras in the washing machine? Don't! Although it’s not ideal, there are safe ways to get around the hassle of hand-washing your intimates. First, make sure to use a delicates bag (like a small mesh bag) that will keep your bras from getting tangled up in the rest of your clothes (which will only stretch the straps!). Make sure to always select the cold water option on your machine, as well as the delicates option if available, and never ever ever put your bras in the dryer.

5. Thinking all bras are multi-purpose

Every girl should have a full arsenal of bras on hand, but the exact makeup of the collection depends on your specific preferences. We recommend at least one comfy T-shirt bra, a nude bra for sheer clothing, a bra with convertible straps for your strappier pieces, and a lacy number for special occasions! No single bra can shoulder the burden (literally) of making your assets look good in every type of outfit. Oh, and when you're working out? Avoid wearing an everyday bra—always opt for your sports bras!

As young women, we all tend to overreact to some very normal life problems. Whether our hair isn’t behaving or we have a huge zit on our face, our minds can wander into the danger zone of blowing the situation completely out of proportion.

There are a million things in this world that we shouldn’t worry about, but we do anyway. However, focusing on the positive things in life and not worrying about the little things is totally possible! Here are some of the most relevant worries we have and the best ways to calm yourself down when you’re freaking out about them.

1. You have “nothing to wear”

What’s going though your mind

There are 10 minutes before you have to leave for class, and you literally have nothing to wear. All of your clothes are too casual, too fancy, super unflattering, in the laundry (see #8) or just ugly. Everyone is going to be judging you by what you wear, and you want people to get the right impression of you.

The solution

Take a deep breath, throw on a pair of jeans and a T-shirt and head out to class. The chance that every single kid in your 300-person econ lecture is going to think you’re a slob for wearing a simple outfit is miniscule. As long as you carry yourself well and look semi-put together, you’ll look great. We promise.

2. You’re having the worst hair day ever

What’s going though your mind

It’s the one day you need to look presentable, and your hair is doing everything you don’t want it to do. Your roots are greasy, your ends are dry and split, the baby hairs around your face won’t stay down and your strands won’t hold a curl for dear life. Your hair looks gross, and you’re contemplating just shaving it all off.

The solution

First, the inventors of dry shampoo should be awarded some sort of medal for their ingenious creation. It was made for days like this when your hair is just being uncooperative; it can be used to soak up unwanted grease from your roots and act as a volumizer. Also, there are a bazillion hairstyles that are perfect for bad hair days, like braids, buns and ponies (oh my!).

3. A guy isn’t texting you back

What’s going through your mind

It’s been, like, 20 minutes since you texted him, and he still hasn’t responded. What could he possibly be doing that he can’t take a 10-second break from to text you back? What if he thinks what you said was dumb or offensive or weird? What if he’s too busy making out with that girl you saw him talk to that one time in chemistry lab? Does he think you’re ugly?!

The solution

We can tell you with confidence that just because he isn’t texting you every second of every day doesn’t mean he doesn’t like you. Just because he got caught up playing 2K15 in his friend’s dorm room does not, we repeat, does NOT mean he’s lost interest in you. Look on the bright side: At least he has a life and doesn’t just sit around all day staring at his phone! That would make for a pretty boring dude.

4. You cheated on your diet

What’s going through your mind

Your gluten-free, no-sugar, 1,200-calories-per-day diet was going so well for the past three days until, oops, you couldn’t resist the cupcakes your RA was handing out during your hall meeting. You’re probably going to gain 25 pounds just from eating that cupcake, and your body is going to be so mad at you. You need to go to the gym and run until you can’t feel your legs anymore or eat literally nothing but carrot sticks for the next week to get back on track.

The solution

The point of a diet is to be healthy, not torture yourself! You should never feel ashamed for eating, no matter how strict of a “diet” you were supposedly on. We know this might sound crazy, but even the most fit and in-shape people indulge once in a while. It’s not natural to deprive your body completely of any certain food unless you have an actual allergy. Balance is key to eating healthy, so don’t be afraid of those sweets, girl!

5. You have a TON of homework

What’s going though your mind

You just looked in your planner and the million to-do lists you have on sticky notes all over your desk and realized that you have an insane amount of work to get done. Oh, and the best part? It’s all due this upcoming week. The even better part? You don’t have a second of free time this week between classes and clubs and intramurals. No matter how you try to organize your work or even attempt to conquer the enormous workload, the number of things you have to do just keeps growing and growing. The world is ending; you can feel it.

The solution

Okay, so first of all, the world is not ending. We can promise you that much. Next, you need to do some serious organizing and prioritizing. Make a list with three columns: things that need to be done ASAP, things that need to be done by the end of tomorrow and things that need to be done by the end of the week. Crossing things off your list will make you feel super accomplished. Don’t forget to take study breaks!

6. There’s a girl flirting with your crush

What’s going though your mind

So you did your hair and makeup really nicely and you have on your cutest outfit for the big party tonight because you were planning on talking to the cute guy who lives down the hall from you. You have some mutual friends who have talked to him, so you know he thinks you’re cute, and tonight is the night when you’re going to make your big move. Then you see him talking to this girl wearing a much cuter outfit than you, and your heart drops. That’s it. It’s never going to happen. You want to go home. Your night is ruined.

The solution

The point of parties is to socialize and meet new people, so it’s natural that there are going to be other people there whom he is going to talk to. Even though you were really looking forward to talking to him, you’re going to talk to other people too, right? This is just something you’re going to have to have the confidence to get over. You’re a beautiful girl whom any guy would be lucky to have the chance to get to know; don’t forget that!

7. Your phone is about to die

What’s going through your mind

It’s around lunchtime and you’re on your way to your third class of the day when you pull out your phone to check your email. As you unlock the screen, your heart drops when you see that you have two percent battery left on your phone.  That’s like five minutes left for you to find a charger until you’re cut off from the world. You don’t have time to run back to your dorm before your next class, and you have a meeting with a professor right after. You’re going to miss three hours worth of texts, tweets, Instagrams, Snapchats and Facebook posts; you might as well not even exist. Goodbye, world; it was nice knowing you.

The solution

We’ll be the first to confess that we’re a little bit dependent on our phones. It’s something that we’re fully aware of and are willing to admit (admitting you have a problem is the first step to recovery, right?). There is a rational part of your brain that should be able to understand how silly you’re being right now, though. People go days, weeks, even months without cell phones by choice; three hours is not going to wipe you off the face of the social media world. And, remember, there was a time in your life when you didn’t have a smartphone—and you totally survived.

Let this be a nice break from technology and a chance to fully focus on class and your schoolwork without the distraction of your phone vibrating every other minute. Oh, and just a tip for future reference: Keep an extra phone charger in your bag.

8. Your laundry is piling up

What’s going through your mind

You haven’t gotten the chance to do your laundry in about two and a half weeks. Not only does this mean you have a heaping pile of clothes in the corner of your room, but it also means that you’re going to have to do around three loads of laundry to get them all clean. Ain’t nobody got time for that.

The solution

First things first, you need to separate your laundry into however many loads you think it will take to get it all cleaned. Put the first load in, do some homework, put the second load in, run to a meeting, put the third load in, organize your planner for the week. The task seems a lot less daunting when you divide it up into smaller parts, and knocking other things off your to-do list while you wait will make you feel super productive.

Just do your laundry every week to avoid this problem. You can also set an alarm on your phone that goes off once a week at a certain time; no matter what you’re doing, no matter where you are, the alarm means it’s laundry time. Drop everything you’re doing and go do your laundry, girl!

9. You’re running low on cash

What’s going through your mind

When you checked your bank account last week, you could have sworn there was at least $200 in there. You just checked your balance and it’s down to $6! What?! Where did all your money go? All you’ve really spent money on in the past week is four dinners, two movie tickets, lunch almost every day and the cutest pair of heels (they were on sale; you couldn’t resist).

The solution

Frivolous spending is a bad habit that we’re all guilty of. Swiping a piece of plastic and getting whatever you want in return is such a great feeling, but you can easily lose track of your spending that way. Try to get in the habit of checking your bank account balance every night before you go to bed. This is a good way to see how much money you’re spending each day and what that money is being spent on. A lot of banks have mobile apps; not only will these allow you to check your balance, but some also allow you to deposit checks and even transfer money from your savings to checking account, all on the go!

10. You just got a huge pimple

What’s going through your mind

You knew it was too good to be true when you hadn’t had any major breakouts in over a month. You were so excited and thought maybe this was the end of that phase where you still got pimples, but you jinxed it. You woke up this morning to a nice, red zit on your cheek.

This isn’t the kind you can just dab a little bit of concealer on to hide it; this a mountain on your face that cant be hidden. Mount Pimpleous is a stubborn little thing that just gets redder and more irritated the more you mess with it. Of course this happens right before you have a huge presentation to make in front of your psychology class. Everyone is going to be looking at it and thinking about how disgusting you are instead of listening to a word you’re saying.

The solution

Everyone and their mother has told us to not pop our pimples. And of course we all know that the more you pick at and mess with a blemish, the worse it’s going to get. We’ve all had pimples, and anyone who says otherwise is a liar. Some adults still have to deal with acne in their 40s and 50s, so you’re not alone here.

As much as it might pain you, try not to cake your pimple with makeup or spend hours in front of the mirror trying to squeeze the life out of it. Wait a few days, and it should be gone. As far as your presentation goes, if someone is shallow enough to judge you based entirely on a single pimple you have on your face, that’s their problem, not yours.

11. You can’t find anything to watch on Netflix

What’s going through your mind

You finally have some downtime, so you decide to browse Netflix for something to watch. Parks and Rec, 30 Rock and Gossip Girl are all out of the question because, as amazing as all those shows are, you’ve seen them way too many times. All of the TV shows look weird, and all of the movies are from 2003. You’re not interested. You scroll and click through every single section on the website and find absolutely nothing. There goes an hour of your life you’re never getting back, and it’s time for you to head back out for class now. Ugh.

The solution

Netflix’s selection is enormous, so there has to be something that you haven’t seen yet that you’d like to watch. Thankfully, some likeminded people have created a website that helps you decide what to watch. If they still can’t help you out, consider a subscription to Hulu Plus, which has a lot of current shows and past seasons of popular shows. It’s only $7.99 per month and it’s super easy to sign up; the link to it is right on Hulu’s homepage.

12. You forgot to put on deodorant

What’s going through your mind

You had a bit of a rough morning: You snoozed your alarm three times, woke up late, didn’t have time to eat or shower before class and barely made it to the lecture hall on time for your 8 a.m. Amidst all the chaos, you forgot to swipe on some deodorant before you ran out of your room. It also just so happens to be one of the hottest days of the week, and you’re sweating like a pig. Awesome. You hope no one notices your smell as you sit in class with your arms glued to your sides, not even moving them to pick up your pen that fell on the ground.

The solution

For the time being, try to keep your arms down by your side and pray to the hormone gods that you stop sweating. If you don’t think that will help, go to the bathroom and wipe down any place you’re feeling extra sweaty with a paper towel. This won’t completely solve your dilemma, but it will surely mask your problem until you have time to go back to your room.

Something that can come in handy for the future is a travel-sized deodorant to keep in your bag. If you can sneak to the bathroom to freshen up, your stress will definitely be relieved.

Life is full of little things that are unpleasant, but that doesn’t mean that you have to freak out like it’s the end of the world. Everyone, and yes, we mean everyone, runs into some bumps in the road during the day. The best way to get over them is to simply understand that life goes on. Don’t sweat the small stuff!

If you’ve been waiting for confirmation of a Full House spin-off then, you got it dude! There have been rumors swirling about a Full House reboot since August 2014, but Monday night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, John Stamos confirmed that the show is definitely happening.

The spin-off will be called Fuller House and is set to be released in 2016. Netflix has ordered 13 episodes of the show that will reportedly follow D.J., Stephanie, and Kimmy. The original cast members who are not set to star in the show are in talks for guest-starring roles.

For all of us '90s sitcom lovers, this is a dream come true, because D.J. Tanner was definitely the ultimate '90s teen fashion queen—and we are sure that her fashion game has only gotten stronger over the years. In honor of the revival, we decided to take a look at the past and (supposed) future of the beloved characters.

Bob Saget as Danny Tanner

Then: The quirky but lovable dad of D.J., Stephanie and Michelle raised his daughters following the death of his wife, Pam, and he gave the best father-daughter talks of all time. When he wasn’t trying to embarrass his daughters into the next decade or clean the entire house to squeaky-clean perfection, he worked as a newscaster on Wake Up San Francisco.

Now: As of now, Danny is not slated to be a major part of the show but we are sure that he will show up at some point because where there is a house in need of cleaning, there is a Danny Tanner.

Dave Coulier as Uncle Joey

Then: Uncle Joey was the goofball uncle that we all wish we had to teach us how to do every cartoon character voice known to man. He was commonly seen as a man child because of his immature nature, but when it came down to it Uncle Joey could give pep talks with the best of them. And let’s not forget he was half of the J&J Creative Services duo.

Now: In the show’s absence, Uncle Joey has probably become a famous comedian but surely he could take some time out of his busy tour schedule to come and visit the girls. Who knows, maybe he will have learned some new cartoon voices... because as much as we love Popeye and Bullwinkle, they were getting kind of old!

John Stamos as Uncle Jesse

Then: Uncle Jesse had the best hair on the show hands down and was the resident Elvis Presley impersonator. He was pretty much the coolest rock-and-roll uncle who lived in the pinkest bunny rabbit room the world has ever seen. He also became a pretty spectacular diaper changer as well. He came a long way from his early baby care days.

Now: We hope that Uncle Jesse will make some guest appearances because you have not really lived until you have heard him say “have mercy.”

Lori Louglin as Aunt Becky

Then: Aunt Becky was more of the cool, older cousin that everyone goes to for worldly advice because she’s been there, done that, and won’t judge you when you tell her how you really feel. It should also be noted that there was never really an episode where she didn’t look absolutely flawless.

Now: Obviously, Aunt Becky does not age because two decades later, she literally looks the exact same (if not better!). For this reason, it is crucial that she makes a few trips by the house and dish some of her beauty secrets because the girls (and all of us) need to know how she's done it!

Candace Cameron-Bure as D.J. Tanner

Then: Let’s face it, we all secretly wanted to be D.J. She had the absolute best hairstyles and had '90s fashion down to an art. On top of that she was the best big sister around and even though she and Stephanie went through a few rough patches they were there for each other every step of the way. We also really need to know about D.J.’s college years, TBH.  

Now: D.J. is recently widowed and the mother of a 12-year-old, 7-year-old, and pregnant with her third son. Stephanie and Kimmy are returning to help her out. Judging from her big sister skills, we are sure that Deej is a wonderful mom.

Jodie Sweetin as Stephanie Tanner

Then: Stephanie was the ultimate sass queen and there was nothing anyone could do about it. From dealing with middle child invisibility to transitioning into a teenager before our eyes, Stephanie experienced the most personal growth on the show. We will never forget the classic Stephanie Tanner line, “how rude,” because it was definitely the catchphrase of our childhood.

Now: Deciding to follow in Uncle Jesse’s footsteps, Stephanie has decided to become a musician. And also like Uncle Jesse, Stephanie returns to help a family member in need raise her kids.

Andrea Barber as Kimmy Gibbler

Then: Even though Kimmy Gibbler was probably one of the most annoying neighbors of all time, we probably still would've let her in our house. Also D.J. and Kimmy? Friendship goals!

Now: Kimmy returns to her favorite house, but now she actually lives there. She helps her BFF raise her children while also raising her own teenage daughter. We hope that Kimmy’s daughter isn’t anything like her mother (actually, we want her to be exactly like her mother).

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen as Michelle Tanner

Then:Michelle Tanner was cooler than any of us could ever have hoped to be. Even before she could talk we knew that Michelle was a pretty big deal just because of the way she knew how to rock her overalls. One does not simply think of Full House without thinking of Michelle’s iconic, and completely adorable, “You got it dude.”

Now: What is Michelle going to be up to? We don’t know. All plot assumptions aside, the more pressing issue here is obviously: which twin is going to play Michelle? 

Will you be watching this reboot, collegiettes?

Ever since we first saw the trailer for Blake Lively’s new movie The Age of Adaline, we’ve been counting down the days to its release. Well, it’s finally in theaters today, and we couldn’t be more excited. Below, we’ve got 8 reasons why we’re dying to see this time-bending romance.

1. Blake Lively’s in it… duh

Serena van der Woodsen, welcome back! We’ve missed you. While Blake was off having a baby and enjoying her blissful married life, we felt the loss. Which is why we’re ecstatic she has once again graced us with her excellence.

2. The magic

We’re up for anything with a little supernatural twist. While we don’t exactly find it believable that Adaline could cease aging, we’re willing to play along.

3. Fashion through the decades

Blake looks amazing in everything she wears, so we’re pumped to see her in styles popular throughout the decades of Adaline’s long life as a 29-year-old. It’s kind of a dream come true.

4. Adaline’s oh-so-hot love interest in all his shirtless glory

A goddess like Blake deserves an equally attractive costar. And Michiel Huisman certainly doesn’t disappoint.

5. We get to see Blake playing mom

We have no doubt that Blake is a great mom to baby James, but seeing her interact with Ellen Burstyn, who plays her elderly daughter, will give us just the proof we need.

6. It’s just plain pretty to look at

Pretty people. Pretty clothes. Pretty settings. What more could we ask for than a visual masterpiece like this?

7. Adaline is a strong and wise leading lady

While she may only look 29, Adaline has years of experience under her belt. Not only is she killer at trivia, but she’s not afraid to challenge a sexist comment or show off her Portuguese. 

8. We have a feeling it’s going to be one of our all-time favorite romance movies

It’s not every day that a chick flick comes along and impresses us, but this one has all the qualities of one we’ll be adding to our list of loves.

Will you be racing to the theaters to catch The Age of Adaline this weekend, collegiettes?

Has anyone seen our motivation? We can't seem to find it. It must've gotten lost somewhere in the end of this semester. If found, please return ASAP.

1. Your bank account is practically nonexistent.  

2. Your naps get longer and more frequent.

3. Your number of days between showers increases and your containers of dry shampoo run out quicker.

4. Taking notes has turned into this:

5. Your meals are either takeout or 100 percent microwaveable.

6. Cleaning isn’t really a thing for you anymore.

7. You no longer feel the need to go grocery shopping, so you just throw together whatever you have around the house.

8. You have so much to do, yet you spend every second of your precious free time doing absolutely nothing.

9. Your outfits have become a smorgasbord of random things pulled from every corner of your apartment - usually a combination of going-out clothes, leggings and sweatshirts.

10. Your incredible Facebook-stalking skills have gone to a whole new level, enlightening you with amazing information, like that Casey’s brother’s friend’s sister’s fiancé’s cousin went to jail for stealing a car. Oh, and that girl in your biology class has a super hot brother who goes to Yale. 

11. You've calculated every single one of your semester grades in case you bomb the final exams.

12. You begin to think Satan himself created group projects.

13. The phrase “assigned reading” is the funniest joke you’ve ever heard.

14. You begin making collaborative group decisions with your friends about skipping class.

15. And then when your roommate decides at the last minute to go to class, you're like:

16. You start running out of everything, but you continue to violently shake bottles and scrape remains from caps because you don’t want to have to buy any more of anything until you get home.

17. You begin to tire of every food option on campus.

18. Not even coffee is doing the trick anymore.

19. You start throwing sporadic temper tantrums about the simplest of tasks…

20. …and then you reward yourself for accomplishing those basic, everyday tasks you should be doing.

21. When people brag about not having finals, you want to hurt them.

22. You validate every class you skip, quiz you fail, project you half-ass and meeting you miss.

23. Every time you get back from any daunting errand (like going to class or the bathroom) you go right back to where you belong.

24. The only thing you get excited for anymore is the pizza-delivery man knocking on your door.

25.  Every time you start to worry about something, you're like:

We've been waiting years for this moment—as of this week, you won't have to get up from your study session (or who are we kidding, Netflix binge sesh!) anymore to indulge in some guacamole-smothered goodness. Yes, that's right: Chipotle is now delivering. We'll give you a moment.

Chipotle is the latest restaurant to partner up with delivery app Postmates (the same app Starbucks will be using later this year to delivery its coffee), which models its service after the popular car service app Uber. The service will be available in 67 cities; orders are placed through the app or the website, meaning you won't have to pause your Pretty Little Liars marathon to wait in a mile-long line for a burrito ever again.

That being said, this good news doesn't come without a little bit of a downside—an editor at Re/code tested the service and found that delivery charges for an $8 burrito amounted to nearly $12—bringing the total to about $20. Is it worth it? Maybe. After all, addiction is real...

It’s that time of the semester: finals are here. For anyone who’s been spending time on a study abroad experience, this also means that there are a limited number of opportunities to take a weekend trip and explore more of your destination or a nearby country. Luckily, it is possible to make the best of both worlds. Here’s how to ace your finals without missing out on these precious last moments abroad.

A few weeks out, book your trips and plan your study schedule.

You might not need to start studying yet, but simply having everything planned out in writing can take a huge proverbial weight off your shoulders. If you haven’t already, buy a planner and write out a general plan for what material you want to study and when. Add in your trips, and there you go—planning it out is half the battle.

Book your tickets when necessary and get your review materials ready.

How far in advance you need to book tickets can vary depending on where you’re going and the method of transportation you plan to take to get there, so take these things into account when planning your trip. This is also a good time to start preparing any review materials you might need (for example, flash cards) so that you’re not rushing to make them at the last minute.

Keep studying, but enjoy your last few days in your host country.

After returning from your trip, you’ll probably only have a short amount of time left before finals. Try to balance out enjoying your remaining time abroad with studying—a good way to do this is by looking for a fun new study spot in your host city. Seek out a new coffee shop or park and aim to spend a few hours getting work done there in the afternoon. Leave your evenings free to enjoy nights on the town with your friends.

Sometimes college is hard. Between exams, roommate squabbles and finding enough caffeine to function on three hours of sleep, we’re familiar with riding the struggle bus pretty much daily. With our crazy lives, we all need some pick-me-ups, right? Good thing we’re pros at making ourselves feel better.

1.  “Pizza covers almost all the food groups, so it’s basically healthy.”

2. “I’ll never be able to wear sweatpants to a real job, so might as well do it now!”

3. “I went to the gym earlier this month so I can skip today and watch Netflix instead.”

4.  “1 hour of studying = 2 Starbucks visits.”

5.  “As a growing young adult, sleeping is more important than my 8 a.m. class.”

6. “The meatloaf in the dining hall is concerning… better go to Chipotle, just to be safe.”

7.  “When else can I get $3 cocktails on a Tuesday night without being judged? #yolo.”

8. “Eating a salad for lunch balances out my late-night French fries.”

9. “It is way too nice out to be stuck in class. Staying inside on this beautiful day would be a sin.”

10. “I actually took notes today, so do I really need to read the textbook?”

11. “Taking advantage of sales at the mall really just makes me economically savvy.”

12. “After graduation, I’ll probably never see my friends again. Better hang out with them 24/7 while I can!”

13. “Why bother doing laundry now when I’m going home in three weeks? Thanks, Mom!”

14. “I went to two of my classes today, so I deserve a three-hour nap.”

15. “Responsible decision-making is for the real world. Not college.”

Amidst the stress of finals, we have little time to keep up with our Netflix queues, much less sleep. We might slack on our #OOTD posts (because we're wearing full-on sweats every day), give up on eating healthily (hello, Easy Mac!), and definitely could use some more zzz's. But thanks to some handy beauty products, we can do our best to hide the bags under our eyes and appear alert!

1. Exfoliator 

Use an exfoliator first thing to wake up your skin and revitalize. The Microdelivery Exfoliating Wash from Philosophy ($28) is packed with antioxidants that will refresh your skin and restore moisture.

2. Caffeinated eye cream

We all know that caffeine can give us a necessary boost in the morning, so why not put it under your eyes to reduce the appearance of bags? L'Oréal Revitalift Triple Power Eye Treatment ($19.99) will do the trick. It will also help prevent wrinkles and lift the under-eye area so you don't have to worry about having tired-looking eyes.

3. Eye makeup

On nights out (because yes, you need a break every now and then during finals week), combat the look of tired eyes with blue eyeliner or eyeshadow to brighten the whites of your eyes. We like Colorful By Craig & Karl's bright eyeshadow duo ($12).

4. Moisturizer

Skin can get pale and dry after lack of sleep. Wake up your skin with Clean & Clear Morning Burst Hydrating Gel Moisturizer ($6.99), which will replenish your skin with cucumber and green mango extracts.

5. Chill out

Next time you shower, don't turn up the hot water as much as you normally would. Cool water will stimulate your skin and get your circulation going. Burt's Bees Fabulously Fresh Peppermint & Rosemary Body Wash ($8) will add to the cooling shower with its energizing properties.

6. Rosy cheeks

Look happy and alert with blush or bronzer. We like NARS's The Multiple ($39) stick because the product is versatile and goes on super smooth.

7. BB cream

Ditch your powdery foundation on days when you've missed some sleep. It'll help you achieve a dewier, more natural look. Maybelline's Dream Fresh BB Cream ($7.44) will brighten your complexion and give you a good, well-rested glow.  

8. Under-eye concealer

There's nothing like a good concealer to help us hide dark circles. Smashbox's High Definition Concealer ($23) has special cell rejuvenating properties as well as light-defecting pearls to make your skin as radiant as it can be.

9. Highlighter

Highlighter helps you emphasize the parts of your face that you want to catch the light. Watt's Up! by Benefit Cosmetics ($30) is a cream-to-powder solution that gives you a fresh, champagne-y glow!

How will you fool everyone into think you got enough sleep this exam week, collegiettes?

As much as we love social media, it can take just one negative comment to really impact a person’s self-esteem. Almost half of young people have seen or experienced online harassment—and it’s time for that to stop. So how can we make that happen?

Snap a photo of the (good!) damage done and share the photo with DoSomething.org online or via text, and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a $5,000 Online Positivity Scholarship. And for every ten notes you post, you’ll get an additional entry!

There’s no minimum GPA or essay required—all you have to do is spread the love. So go on—register now at DoSomething.org/screen and start making the Internet a happier place to be! Hurry, the deadline to submit your entry is April 30, 2015.

The excitement was palpable when Hillary Clinton took the stage to make the keynote speech at this year’s Women in the World Summit, presented by Tina Brown Media in collaboration with The New York Times. Clinton’s presence at this event came as a surprise to some because of her involvement in the 2016 presidential race. She officially announced her candidacy earlier this month and since then, she’s been hard at work on the campaign trail. Clinton herself even joked that she wanted to make it a priority to be at the event, regardless of whatever else she's involved with.

This is not Clinton’s first time attending the Women in the World Summit and this year, she was introduced by her former intern: Beatrice Biira. Beatrice is famous in her own right; the children’s book Beatrice’s Goat is based on her life. When, at the age of 7, Beatrice and her family received a goat from Heifer International, their lives changed for the better. She and her siblings were finally able to go to school, something she in particular had always dreamed of. Today, Beatrice has a masters degree and works for the very same company that gave her the opportunity to succeed, Heifer International.

Hillary’s speech at this event was really the first big speech she’s given since announcing her presidential candidacy. She discussed the conference as a whole, referencing programs earlier in the day that talked about a range of topics from cyber bulling to climate change. As her speech went on though, she began to outline some of the things she’ll be focusing on in her 2016 campaign, including LGBTQ+, women’s and minority’s rights.

“We move forward when gay and transgender women are embraced as our colleagues and friends, not fired from good jobs because of who they love and who they are,” Clinton said. 

She also pointed out the power of women in the workplace. “When women are held back, our country is held back. When women get ahead, everyone gets ahead,” she said, also citing a statistic that if we were to get rid of the gender wage gap, our economy would grow by 10 percent by 2030.

Clinton also came out in support of affordable childcare and paid maternity leave for new mothers, causes that seemed to be a constant thread throughout the day’s events. 

“It is outrageous that America is the only developed country in the free world that doesn’t guarantee paid leave to mothers of newborns,” Clinton said.

Overall, there was a lot of support for the presidential hopeful at the event. Helen Mirren, also a speaker that day, talked about the importance of having a female leader to look up to as a young woman, enthusiastically cheering, “Go Hillary!” What do you think collegiettes? Will you be voting for Hillary Clinton in 2016? 

For too long, “nude” has been synonymous with “beige.” From crayons to couture, the shade has only applied to the lighter-skinned among us. Christian Louboutin, however, may be pioneering a change in thinking. In collaboration with Bergdorf Goodman, Louboutin debuted a line of nude pumps that features not one shade, but five. According to Louboutin himself, the project doesn’t stop here. The Cut reports that Louboutin is planning to release two more nude shades in the coming year.

The debate about nude has been raging for years. Back in 2010, for example, people had a lot to say when Michelle Obama wore a dress labeled as “flesh-colored” by the Associated Press. At the time and in the years since, people have continued to point out that the very concept of nude implies that being white is standard, and that everyone else is an exception to the norm. But even though five years have passed since the event, little progress has been made. Most retailers still define “nude” as light beige, and don’t offer variations that serve other skin tones in the same way. Many widespread fashion trends start at the top, so we may be seeing imitations of the Louboutin color palette soon. Could we witness the end of the singular definition of nude in the near future? We sure hope so.

What do you think, collegiettes? Is it time to simply change what “nude” means, or should we ditch the word altogether?
