There’s been a lot of hype over higher education pretty much since you started high school, but now it’s finally here: your first day of college. You’ve gone through orientation, your room is set up and you’re ready to go. But, of course, it’s normal to get nervous about how the day will play out; After all, you don’t really know what to expect.

But no need to hit the panic button quite yet, because Her Campus is here to get you through a timeline of your entire first day, from the moment you wake up to the moment you hit your pillow at night! We’ll be breaking down some of the biggest snags you could potentially hit (Alarm didn’t go off? No one to sit with at lunch?) as well as how to deal with them should they arise.

7:31 a.m.: Waking up late

You set eight different alarms to make sure you’d get up on time for your 8:00 a.m. class, and to no avail: You still woke up late!

How to deal

First of all, waking up late is not the end of the world. “Everybody almost expects freshmen to be all over the place the first day of college, so take a deep breath and relax,” says Megan Showers, a junior at the University of Florida.

And Megan knows what she’s talking about; She woke up late on her first day of college! “I had a 9 a.m. class and woke up to my alarm clock reading 8:48 a.m.,” she says. “So obviously, I was freaked. It was at least a 15-minute walk to class plus the time it’d take to get ready, so I was pretty much on the verge of hyperventilating.”

Luckily, Megan had taken some proactive steps the night before to shorten her morning routine. “I’d been so neurotic about starting college that I’d actually laid out my clothes the night before and packed up my schoolbag like I was starting kindergarten,” she says. “At the time I felt paranoid, but as I was running around trying to get ready, it was a godsend.”

Megan highly recommends that other first-day collegiettes do the same thing to avoid any surprises in case they pop up a little later than expected on day one. The night before your first day of classes, take 10 or 15 minutes to pick out your outfit and pack your school bag (notebook, pens, folders, your keys, student ID, the works!). Also, make sure you set out toiletries or know where they are the next morning so that you’re not searching for a toothbrush when you’re running around. If you want to earn extra preparedness points, set out a granola bar or some cereal in case you need to eat on the run!

7:47 a.m.: Getting lost on the way to class

You rush out of your dorm, and you’re so excited, nervous and scared that you get extremely lost trying to find the academic building you’re supposed to be in. What’s a newly minted collegiette to do?

How to deal

Kate Masters, a junior at Wesleyan University, reminds collegiettes lost on campus not to panic. “Go up to someone who looks a little older (and friendly) and ask him or her for directions,” she says. Everybody’s been there before!

If possible, though, Kate recommends visiting your classes (or at least the buildings) before your first day. “The night before my first day of college, I actually spent 45 minutes walking around campus to all of my classes just to make sure I knew where the buildings were,” she says. “Some of my new college friends came with me, and it was really fun!”

Like planning your clothes the night before, checking out the campus ahead of time may seem like a little too much preparation for some collegiettes, so don’t be afraid to smile and ask someone for directions! Additionally, you could print a campus map and bring it with you for day one.

8:07 a.m.: You didn’t bring the right supplies to class

You sit down in class and pull out your laptop, only to have your professor announce that he has a no-laptops policy. The problem? You didn’t bring a notebook and pen.

How to deal

Kate faced this same issue during her first college class. “I felt so dumb for not bringing pens and paper to write on,” she says. “So, obviously, my tip is to bring a couple of different note-taking supplies.”

Rachel Nelson, a sophomore at the University of Southern California, says it’s not the end of the world if you don’t have everything on your first day. “Usually the first day of classes is just the professor handing out the syllabus, asking questions and maybe giving a mini lesson, so you really won’t be missing much,” she says. “Just make sure you go buy your supplies directly after class!”

Still freaked out about forgetting stuff? Feel free to ask the person next to you if he or she has an extra pen. Hey, you might make a new friend!

11:17 a.m.: You don’t know whom to sit with at lunch

Thought you were over the days of scanning the cafeteria looking for a seat? Think again. What happens if your orientation friends or hallmates haven’t gotten to the dining hall yet? Should you sit alone or awkwardly stand there waiting?

How to deal

Megan had this situation come up during her first day of college. “A bunch of the girls I had agreed to get lunch with were running late from class, so I got to the dining hall first and found myself having to wait 15 minutes,” she says.

So what did Megan do? She got her food, found a seat and stared at her phone the entire time. “I was so embarrassed to be sitting alone, but looking back now, two years later, I see how stupid all of my worrying was,” she says. “People don’t really care if you’re sitting alone, and no one will think you’re friendless or something just because people aren’t with you. It’s fine! I eat alone all the time now because I like to.”

If sitting alone is a little bold for you, remember that it’s college, so feel free to just wait for your lunch crew or meet some new people and sit with them (people are super friendly on the first day!). The important takeaway: No one is going to judge you, no matter what you choose.

1:42 p.m.: You don’t know what to do with all of your free time

Your classes have wrapped up way earlier than they ever did in high school (ah, the beauty of the college schedule!), so what are you supposed to do with all of this extra free time?

How to deal

There are definitely a lot of options out there if you have a little time on your hands on the first day, from running errands to checking out your class syllabi. First, you can go to the campus bookstore and buy whatever school supplies and reading materials you’re missing for your classes. It’s always good to be prepared!

Second, there’s always the option of getting a head start on academics. Kate recommends combining schoolwork with social time. “I was actually assigned a ton of work in my first college class, so I went to the library with some friends so we could all work on stuff,” she says. “As someone who procrastinated all the time in high school, I thought it was awesome to begin college on a good note by getting an early start on assignments.”

Kate also encourages collegiettes to really try to be social during the first couple of days and weeks of college. “It’s easy to feel tired and want to sit in bed watching Netflix all day, but this a crucial time in your college career!” she says. “Make friends, hang out with people and get involved. It’s an awesome time.”

Free time is a great thing, but definitely make sure you still have a game plan so you don’t spend the first couple of days just browsing the Internet. Make a list of what you hope to accomplish on campus during the beginning of the semester and go for it!

9:34 p.m.: Your friends want to party but you’re not sure if you want to

It’s your first night of school and you’re beyond exhausted, but a bunch of your friends want to go out to a party. You want nothing more than to crawl into bed and pass out, but you also don’t want to miss out on a social opportunity.

How to deal

First off, don’t feel like you have to go out to have a great freshman year! Rachel found herself in this situation during her first couple of days of college. “On the one hand, I didn’t want to seem like a party pooper, but I was also bogged down in homework on my first day,” she says.

So, how did she deal? Rachel met her friends in the middle. “My friends were actually pregaming for a couple of hours before they headed to this frat party, so I joined them for that and then left them when they went to the party,” she says.

It turns out Rachel made the right choice, too. “My friends only ended up staying at the party for an hour tops, so I didn’t miss much!” she says.

Another huge perk of having so much to do on a college campus is that you can pick and choose what you want to do with your time, so if partying one night isn’t your thing, no one will fault you for wanting to stay in and study or check out extracurriculars!

Overall, your first day of freshman year will definitely be filled with ups and downs, but just remember that everyone experiences them! Problems will pop up, so as long as you go in with a game plan and take a couple of minutes to prepare ahead of time, you’re going to do great. All of your classmates are as excited and anxious as you are to see how the first day goes, so relax and enjoy it!

There’s no better feeling than perusing aisles and aisles of brand new clothes, or waking up to find that chic pair of shoes you ordered waiting on your doorstep. In the famous words of Blair Waldorf, “Whoever said that money doesn’t buy happiness didn’t know where to shop!”

The only struggle of having a shopping love that just won’t quit? Being restricted by a college student budget.

There’s nothing quite like a Starbucks pick-me-up—but between the Pumpkin Spice Lattes and fruity refreshers, java chip Fraps and caramel macchiatos galore, everyone’s favorite sugary beverages aren't always the healthiest. It’s perfectly fine to indulge in a sweet treat every now and then, but the calories and sugar can add up faster than you’d imagine. Don’t worry—this doesn’t mean you have to cut off your Starbucks consumption cold turkey. We’ve rounded up some of the easiest swaps to make your next order lighter (without losing the fun)!

1. Ask the barista to hold the sweetener

Most Starbucks drinks have sugar added to them—even drinks that you might add your own sugar packets to, such as cold brew and iced coffee.There’s an easy solution to this: ask the barista for an unsweetened version of your order. This means they won’t add additional sugar packets, and you can control how much sugar you add on your own once you pick up your drink. You may not think that an iced coffee has any sugar in it—but opting for the unsweetened version is an easy way to lighten up your order.

Regular iced coffee, Grande (16oz)                                                                                                                                                                               

80 calories, 20g sugar

Unsweetened iced coffee, Grande (16oz)                                                                                                                                                                                       

5 calories, 0g sugar

2. Opt for an alternative milk

If you’re ordering a drink made with milk, such as a latte, cappuccino, macchiato, Frappuccino or even iced coffee, try asking for non-fat milk—or almond, soy or coconut—instead of the classic 2% or whole milk options.

Caramel Macchiato, Grande (16oz)                                                                                                                                                                                       

Made with whole milk: 280 calories, 33g sugar                                                                                                                                                                        

Made with non-fat milk: 200 calories, 34g sugar                                                                                                                                                            

Made with almond milk: 170 calories, 23g sugar

3. Order sugar-free syrups

The next time you ask for an extra pump of caramel or vanilla in your fave S-Bux drink, consider opting for a sugar-free version of the flavored syrups that take your drink from 0 to 100 calories real quick. That’s right—Starbucks offers sugar-free syrups in vanilla, hazelnut, caramel, mocha and cinnamon dolce. You can still add flavor to your favorite drinks, but you can do so without the extra sugar! Plus, there’s no extra cost to have sugar-free instead of regular syrups. You can also ask the barista for less pumps of syrup in your drinks, which is an easy way to keep most of the flavor while lightening the sugar load.

4. Say goodbye to the whip

One of the simplest Starbucks swaps is opting for your drink sans-whipped cream. Cutting out the whipped topping can—for some drinks—cut the calories in half, and you’ll still enjoy everything else about the beverage that you love.

Green Tea Crème Frappuccino, Grande (16oz)                                                                                                                                                                         

Made with non-fat milk, with whipped cream: 400 calories, 65g sugar                                                                                                                            

Made with non-fat milk, without whipped cream: 280 calories, 63g sugar

Hot Chocolate, Grande (16oz)                                                                                                                                                                                             

Made with non-fat milk, with whipped cream: 350 calories, 43g sugar                                                                                                                            

Made with non-fat milk, without whipped cream: 270 calories, 41g sugar

Use this quick trick for Frappuccinos, Pumpkin Spice Lattes and other drinks that typically have a whipped cream option.

5. Keep it simple with brewed coffee and tea

Half the fun of going to Starbucks is leaving with a beautifully mixed, totally Instagram-able beverage bursting with color and aesthetics—but if you’re looking to order something on the lighter side, don’t underestimate the beauty of plain brewed coffee and tea. Ask for a light, medium or dark roast coffee, and add your choice of milk for a cup o’ joe that gets the job done and is free of the sugar and calories in other menu items.

Dark Roast, Grande (16oz)                                                                                                                                                                                                           

Made without milk: 5 calories, 0g sugar

Passion Tango Herbal Tea, Grande (16oz)                                                                                                                                                                           

0 calories, 0g sugar

Starbucks also has a wide range of zero-calorie tea flavors, which can often be overshadowed by lattes and other menu items that are more complicated. When in doubt, go back to the basics!

6. Swap sugary snacks for filling foods

Aside from a menu full of yummy beverages, Starbucks is also well-loved for its cakes, cookies, pastries and paninis. If you're in a hurry and want to snag some breakfast with your coffee, you may want to think before ordering the first bread loaf you see in the glass bakery case. 

Instead of the Blueberry Scone(420 calories, 20g sugar) or the Blueberry Muffin with Yogurt and Honey(380 calories, 30g sugar), try the Fresh Blueberries and Honey Greek Yogurt Parfait(240 calories, 29g sugar). Though the sugar count in the yogurt is more than the scone (and about equal to the muffin), you'll save calories from the more filling and nutritious parfait option—and still keep the blueberry flavor!

You could also swap out a slice of Pumpkin Bread(410 calories, 39g sugar) or Iced Lemon Pound Cake(470 calories, 42g sugar) with a cup of Seasonal Fruit (90 calories, 19g sugar) and a Spinach, Feta & Cage Free Egg White Breakfast Wrap(290 calories, 4g sugar). The egg white breakfast wrap will keep you full and satisfied, while the fruit cup will add a bit of sweetness to your morning snack without the calories of a traditional bakery item.

The next time you’re waiting in line, people-watching and thinking about life (and what you’re going to order) at Starbucks, remember these easy swaps that can make the familiar coffee drinks (and foods) you know and love a little lighter. Cheers!

A group of white supremacists and neo-Nazis armed with riot shields, helmets and bats held a “Unite the Right” march in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 12. This march occurred the day after a group of torch-wielding neo-Nazis and white supremacists marched through the University of Virginia campus to protest the removal of a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. The situation, however, quickly turned violent when people arrived to protest the march on Saturday. By the end of the day, a woman was killed when a car drove into a crowd of protesters, and more than 30 others were injured. President Trump gave a statement condemning the “egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides,” at which people were more than a little frustrated. This statement implied that both sides of the event (the white supremacists and the protesters) were equally at fault for the violence at the march, and people were rightly outraged. The man driving the car who killed 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injured many others was a white supremacist, not a counter-protester.

The United States of America provided its citizens the right to free speech with its first amendment of the Constitution, and this right is unarguably crucial to our society. However, I have seen far too many instances of people defending a hate groups right to visibly organize and display bias simply because the people in the group have the right to free speech. Yes, free speech is important and must be preserved, but where do we draw the line when the speech we protect leads to people’s deaths? In Germany, it’s a crime to display a Nazi flag, but in the US, white supremacists and neo-Nazis can march up and down the streets of a city waving Confederate and Nazi flags, doing the Nazi salute and screaming Nazi chants, and they receive no punishment whatsoever. Germany banned Nazi flags because it knows exactly what happens when they are displayed in public by people proud to brandish them, and I’d recommend opening a history textbook to anyone unclear on the ties between Germany and Nazis.

Free speech is a cornerstone of democracy, but hate speech can be deadly. As we saw yet again in Charlottesville, hate speech leads to death, and now many are defending these cruel people's screaming of “Jew will not replace us” and other offensive chants, because they have the right to free speech. Well, guess what? I, as a Jewish woman, have the right to live. Heather Heyer had the right to live. And she was killed because this country allows hate groups to organize and spread insidious messages which lead to violence, chaos and oftentimes death.

Don’t tell me Nazi rights to free speech are as important as a person’s right to live, when Nazi speech so often means death to someone else. Protecting Nazi speech is not patriotic, it’s not an attempt to preserve the first amendment, and it’s not honorable. It’s complicity. When we allow Nazis to make threats on people’s lives and call those threats protected, we are saying that we value their right to threaten someone else more than the safety of those being threatened. We are protecting Nazi hate speech at the expense of human life. Some may be thinking, "But these marches weren’t supposed to be violent," to which I would reply, "Why were the Nazis armed with clubs, riot shields and helmets? What non-violent events require riot gear and weapons?" There is no denying that they appeared to be prepared for violence.

Allowing neo-Nazis and white supremacists to hold marches in public doesn’t promote the message that America values free speech, it promotes the message that America cares more about hate speech than it does people’s lives. Make no mistake, the neo-Nazis and white supremacists weren’t simply gathered for a harmless meeting. They were literally calling for ethnic cleansing, and in case there are any uncertainties about the priorities of these neo-Nazis, the main organizer of the march, Jason Kessler, called it “a beautiful moment that no one will ever be able to take away from people who were involved.” Richard Spencer, a prominent white supremacist, said that the “Unite the Right” march “was a huge moral victory in terms of the show of force.” Matthew Heimbach, a leader of the neo-Nazi group Nationalist Front boasted, “We had zero vehicles damaged, all our people accounted for, and moved a large amount of men and materials in and out of the area. I think we did an incredibly impressive job.” In other words, these men are proud of the violence and chaos that occurred over the weekend, and since none of the neo-Nazis and white supremacists and none of their equipment were injured, they considered the events a success. They literally only show concern for their followers, i.e. white people who are neo-Nazis and white supremacists, and they were pleased at the horrors that took place. A woman died as a direct result of these hate groups, and many more people were injured, and these leaders are delighted and proudly declaring moral victory.

If America wants to protect these disgusting messages and call it free speech, I want no part of it. Calling for the death and injury of others should never be accepted or protected.The United States can’t have hate speech protected by the first amendment and then act surprised when people die and get hurt at the hands of Nazis. These white supremacists and neo-Nazis are neither patriots nor free speech advocates nor citizens just speaking their minds; they are terrorists, plain and simple, and they ought to be treated as such.

Today's solar eclipse, the first of it's kind in over 100 years, had only one rule: do not, under any circumstances, look directly at the sun, because it WILL damage your eyes. So naturally, in the most Donald Trump move ever, POTUS looked right at it.

For the eclipse, the president stepped out on the White House balcony, along with first lady Melania and their son Barron, to watch. According to BuzzFeed News, Trump then decided to look up at the sun, pointing to the sky as a White House aide reportedly shouted to him, "Don't look!" Classic.

Of course, the Internet is having a great time meme-ing the whole thing, and we can't stop laughing:

And then there were those who already knew exactly what was going to happen all along:

Meanwhile, someone actually managed to turn in all into a very #relatable situation.

Afterward, the president and first lady did eventually put on protective eyewear, but the photo evidence is still there, and it just might be the best part of the entire historic day.

ICYMI, the Internet was basically in panic mode last week when it discovered that Taylor Swift had deleted literally every Instagram and Tweet she's ever posted and replacing her entire website with a black screen - and today, she confirmed that something big (hopefully new music?) is definitely on its way.

As Us Weekly reports, T-Swift made her return to social media today (and meanwhile, upstaged all that social media buzz about the solar eclipse), with a super cryptic video that doesn't tell us much other than the fact that SOMETHING IS HAPPENING.

The video, which is only 10 seconds long, features a slithering snake and cool, creepy flickering light effects. Could it be a clap-back at haters referring to Swift as a snake following all that drama with Kim and Kanye? Maybe.

The lack of explanation or any kind of caption whatsoever is leading fans to believe that this can only mean one thing: Taylor is teasing new music. Not to mention that all the mysterious activity on her social media channels and website comes exactly three years after she announced her last album, 1989 - in other words, we're way overdue for some new anthems like "Shake It Off."

Stay tuned, but in the meantime, this is basically an accurate picture of Taylor Swift right now:

Silk or lace wedding dress? An intimate courthouse ceremony or the wedding of the century? These may be minor details now, but your dream wedding could say a lot about when exactly you'll be getting married.

If you're a sucker for a good mystery, a dreamy cast and a bit of an adrenaline rush, you were probably obsessed with Pretty Little Liars and even more obsessed Riverdale. Although the Liars have just ended their time in Rosewood and Archie, Betty and Jughead may have just begun theirs in Riverdale, it turns out they actually have quite the connection. Thanks to some Reddit sleuthing, it turns out the two towns are actually the same place. Wild, right?

After providing some aerial photos of Riverdale andRosewood, Redditor Ludoth31st included a caption that said, "So I watched the first episode of Riverdale the other day and noticed the town looked quite familiar. It's Rosewood. I'm not sure if this was pointed out before but thought it was funny."

Though the proof seems to be in the photos, it's actually not the true location the shows were filmed. Both used this same bit of aerial stock footage, however Riverdale was actually shot in Vancouver. The more you know!

It’s no secret that relationships are a lot of work—and I do mean that in the very best way possible! Relationships require oodles of effort and TLC as well as a decent balance of give and take to really make one flourish. It’s all worth it when all of that extra work results in a happy and healthy relationship on both sides!

There are relationships, however, that lack in some of these areas, which can result in some unfortunate outcomes such as cheating or an affair. One common misconception about cheating is that it’s all physical, which isn’t necessarily true. Enter the emotional affair.

So, what exactly is an emotional affair, and could one be affecting your relationship? We spoke to a few collegiettes to find the meaning behind an emotional affair as well as four signs you can look for that may indicate your significant other is pursuing one, or is maybe just vulnerable to one. Either way, it's important to be aware of the signs!

1. The two of you aren’t as close as you once were

Remember those days when you and your SO happily spent almost every waking moment together? While it is common for relationships to find their groove and settle into a routine that involves less time together, there is a difference between having needed space and actually feeling distant–especially emotionally.

Alex Christensen, a senior at the University of Iowa, believes that this idea serves as an explanation behind the reason for an emotional affair.

“I think the idea of an emotional affair comes from the idea that you and your significant other aren't as close as you once were,” says Alex. “A big sign of this is spending time apart that you would normally be together.” While space is a factor for most healthy relationships, there can be situations where it feels as if the two of you are spending more than enough time apart.

The distance doesn’t just have to be physical, however. While you may have noticed that date nights have become way less frequent and your time spent together has dwindled, you’ll also want to look out for whether you and your SO have lost any closeness emotionally.

“It doesn't even necessarily have to be with someone they could be interested in, it could just be a friend,” Alex continues. “You start to feel distant even though you're still together.”

If you’ve noticed your SO hasn’t sought out any emotional support or attention from you in quite some time, it could be because they’ve been receiving it from someone else, or have considered reaching out to others for that emotional fulfillment. 

2. You’ve noticed some strange and secretive technological behavior

You brush it off at first, but as time goes on, it becomes a bit more obvious. Their social media and smartphone usage has definitely increased—and not in a good way.

Maybe your partner has been on their phone a lot more than they usually are—especially when you’re together—and has become way more secretive about who they’ve been texting. Maybe you’ve noticed some Snapchats pop-up from a name you may not recognize, or an increase in Facebook and Twitter usage after they swore they would never use sites like those.

“I know people who will use Twitter and Facebook DMs to stay in contact with people who they don’t want their boyfriend or girlfriend to know that they’re talking to,” says Alyssa*, a junior at Carthage College. “With passwords and all that, it’s easy enough to keep those messages hidden. A lot easier and sneakier than communicating through text.”

Social media is a common mode of communication and sometimes the only one when it comes down to those pursuing emotional affairs. The ding of a DM, Snapchat or text from someone new can be exciting and replicate those butterfly-ish feelings that the two of you shared when you entered the “talking stage," and can be easy enough to conceal if they so wish.

If your partner has been craving more attention and has offered no explanation for their increased smartphone usage, then there could be an unfortunate reason behind it. While increased social media usage and secretive cell phone behavior are not exclusive to an emotional affair, it does raise a few red flags. If your SO is unwilling to justify their recent behaviors to you, then they may have turned to social media to pursue the likes of an emotional affair.

3. Their attitude toward you has changed

Sure, it’s normal to be in a bad mood occasionally, but now it’s starting to feel like your SO’s attitude has changed toward you completely. While pursuing an emotional relationship with someone else, your SO can begin fantasizing about all the things this new person is or does that you’re not or don’t do, and begin to criticize you for it.

While this doesn’t sound fair in the slightest, your SO may be lashing out at you for the most random things such as your appearance or the shows you watch because they have grown to enjoy the things about the other person and have created this ideal image that you no longer fit. This emotional affair they’ve developed has made a new mold, so if you start to notice that you just aren’t measuring up to your SO’s expectations lately, there may be a deeper reason behind it.

Of course, it isn't always so easy to tell why your SO is lashing out. Your SO could very well be lashing out at you for different reasons, such as stress with work or their family, even if those things don't necessarily have anything to do with you. You'll want to rule out any other sources of emotional stress before considering an emotional affair as the sole reason for their change in attitude toward you. 

4. You can just feel it

They say that you should always trust your gut feeling, and while it can be easy at times to convince yourself of something that’s not true, it’s important to approach any gut feelings when it comes to the health and wellness of your relationship with your SO.

“I think it's hard to determine signs of this [an emotional affair], rather it's more of a feeling,” says Alex. “You can just feel when you aren't as close to someone you love.”

This feeling is definitely a scary one, but if something just does not seem right within your relationship, you’ll probably want to communicate your feelings the best way you can to your SO. Feelings are unique to every person, but two huge indicators are if you feel detachment emotionally along with intimately. While these feelings can suggest an emotional affair, they could also just mean that the compatibility between the two of you as partners just isn't there. This is a good time to take a step back and reevaluate before making any decisions moving forward. 

Emotional affairs are as complex as our emotions themselves, but they are definitely not something to take lightly. Emotional affairs don’t really involve any physical contact, but an emotional relationship is just as important as a physical one, so you’ll want to look out for signs that your SO is having their emotional needs met from someone else—especially if their treatment of you has took a turn for the worst because of it. While these signs are not exclusive to an emotional affair, they are very telling, so if you suspect your SO is engaging in one, then you'll want to ensure that you appropriately address the subject with your partner ASAP.

Following protests surrounding Confederate statues in Charlottesville, Virginia this month, which turned violent and deadly when a white supremacist drove a car into protestors, the University of Texas at Austin removed three statues of Confederate generals from its campus overnight, The New York Times reports.

In a statement, the university's president Greg Fenves cited the hatred shown during the protests in Charlottesville as the reason the statues were ultimately removed 10 days before classes at UT begin.

"Last week, the horrific displays of hatred at the University of Virginia and in Charlottesville shocked and saddened the nation," Fenves said. "These events make it clear, now more than ever, that Confederate monuments have become symbols of modern white supremacy and neo-Nazism."

The statues, which depicted Confederate generals Robert E. Lee and Albert Sidney Johnson and Confederate cabinet member John Reagan, were removed late Sunday night and into early Monday morning. The university purposefully gave little warning about their removal and took them down overnight "for public safety and to cause the least disruption to the university community," the Times reports.

"Erected during the period of Jim Crow laws and segregation, the statues represent the subjugation of African Americans," Fenves said. "That remains true today for white supremacists who use them to symbolize hatred and bigotry."

The statues will instead be moved to the school's Briscoe Center for scholarly study, according to Fenves's statement.

UT isn't the first university to remove statues of Confederate historical figures in response to the events in Charlottesville. Duke University removed its own statue of Robert E. Lee on Saturday following protests on campus - and hopefully, these schools won't be the last to take action.

Navigating the adult world after a more care-free college experience can definitely be challenging. You want to have a great job, maintain solid relationships, exceed the expectations you set for yourself and of course find time to do things you enjoy (saying ‘no’ to brunch just isn’t an option). And then comes the question we hear all too often: How do we fit working out into our demanding schedules? We talked to women who are just as ambitious about maintaining their health as they are about succeeding in their busy lives to find out their tips about prioritizing gym time. Your obligations may change every week, but these tricks will help you keep your workout motivation on track.

Related: 15 Struggles You’ll Understand If You Want to Be Fit But Hate Working Out

1. Schedule your workouts ahead of time

You rarely ever miss an appointment or meeting, so why should you miss a workout? Yes, life happens and sometimes plans come up, but if you treat your workouts as an important obligation rather than an option, you’ll be less likely to bail on them.

Mara Hyman, University of Southern California ‘14, understands the importance of treating your health as a priority. “I think the key with fitting time into your schedule to work out is acknowledging the fact that your health is as much, if not more so of a priority than your job or other responsibilities,” she continues. “Change your mindset and take ownership in your workouts, and you'll find that everything else will fall into place—you’ll sleep better, you'll be more productive at work and you'll feel better.” Making time to workout ultimately benefits all areas of your life because you’re taking care of yourself first.

2. Do workouts you actually enjoy

Danielle Smith, Emmanuel College ‘17, agrees it’s easier to make time for workouts when you look forward to them. “Fitness classes such as boot camp and Zumba are two of my favorites because they are not only motivating throughout the entire hour, but are also enjoyable when you get to dance to the beat and still work up a sweat.” Dancing that counts as cardio? Yes, please.

Being around others in a workout class can also feel like great motivation to keep coming back. Maybe you’ll even make some friends or find others who push you to challenge yourself. Working out doesn't have to feel like a burden, it’s worth taking the time to find workouts you can have fun with.

3. Switch up your workouts

Part of finding workouts you enjoy involves mixing your workout routines up, Hannah LeBlanc, St. Joseph’s College ‘16, says, “Switch your workout up as much as possible. If you are a member at a gym that offers a variety of classes, try a different one each time you go to the gym,” she continues. “Trying a variety of workouts will not only challenge your muscles but also help you not get bored or stuck in the same routine.” Sometimes stepping out of your comfort zone to try a new workout class, such as boxing or yoga, is exactly the change of pace you need to keep the gym interesting. Plus, participating in a variety of workouts means you’re engaging different muscles each time and will see better results in the end.

4. Wake up early

We’ll wait for the groans and eye rolls to be over. Finished yet? We totally get waking up early to workout as opposed to getting an extra hour of sleep before your busy day may seem ridiculous. Especially when one of your favorite college relationships was with your bed. But hear us out because working out in the morning is more beneficial than you may think.

Hannah is the type who does whatever it takes to fit a workout in. “If it works for your schedule, try to workout earlier in the morning,” she shares. “Yes it might mean waking up a little earlier, but at the end of your workout you'll feel more energized and have the rest of the day to do what you want!” It’s true that workouts release endorphins that help make you happy. This good mood and energy boost will allow you to tackle your busy day ahead of you. Think of it as getting your workout over with early on. This way you don’t have an entire day to make up excuses as to why you should skip your gym time. Wake up, work out and enjoy the rest of your day without the thought of a workout looming over you.

5. Choose your workout buddy wisely

Anything in life is more enjoyable when shared with a friend. Finding a workout buddy can be difficult because you want someone who will motivate you, and we all know it’s not easy to say ‘no’ to your best friend when she says you should skip the gym and ‘treat yoself’ to margaritas instead. Ann Shoket, former editor-in-chief of Seventeen magazine and author, shares some great advice about “embracing the mess” in her book The Big Life. Her thoughts on work-life balance? “It doesn’t exist. And I don’t think it should.” The idea of having everything under control at all times is simply unreasonable, which is why it’s okay to miss a workout here or there if needed.

Ann rarely ever says ‘no’ to an invite—yes, even a woman this successful still gets FOMO. This means exercise sometimes takes a backseat to all of her other obligations. The solution? Use workouts as a chance to strengthen relationships and network. When we asked Shoket what her favorite type of workout is, she was quick to remind us that success means always hustling. “I love Pilates and spin, but it's the first thing to fall off my calendar when I get busy. I always try to enlist a friend or colleague so we can either get bonding in or some work.” Networking during a workout? Impressive. Even the most powerful women have trouble finding time to workout, but they stay fabulous because they always get back on track.

6. Find a gym or workout class near your office

Whether this means finding a workout studio or fitness center on your route to work, seeing it every day will give you no excuse not to stop in. Sarah McDaniel, Indiana University '17, uses this trick to her advantage. “I bought a yoga membership for a studio that's on my way home from work and has classes at 5:30 every day. I drive past it after leaving work at 5 so I have no excuse not to go!” She continues, “I also use it as my one hour of ‘me’ time when I'm not focused on work or anything else, and get to de-stress. It makes all the difference.” If you’re one of the lucky ones, there may even be a company gym right at your office! Take advantage of location and be sure to keep a change of workout clothes handy.

Taking the time to carve out a few hours a week to focus on your health is crucial to success. However you decide to incorporate workouts into your weekly routines, just be sure you’re having fun with it. Going to the gym every day can be boring, but if you go with a friend or find new classes to take, you’ll motivate yourself to keep going. Cheers!

Remember when Chrissy Teigen took that super adorable Snapchat where she was pretty drunk, and her hubby, John Legend, was taking off her jewelry for her? So funny and so cute, right? Well, it seems there might be a more serious issue underlying that #RelationshipGoals post.

According to Cosmopolitan, Chrissy is putting down the rosé and picking up some healthier lifestyle habits. “I was, point blank, just drinking too much. I got used to being in hair and makeup and having a glass of wine. Then that glass of wine would carry over into me having one before the awards show. And then a bunch at the awards show," she told Cosmo. “And then I felt bad for making kind of an ass of myself to people that I really respected. And that feeling, there's just nothing like that. You feel horrible. It's not a good look for me, for John, for anybody.” Anybody who's had one too many cups of jungle juice at a college house party can relate to that, at least a little.

In addition to not feeling good, Chrissy’s family has a history of alcohol abuse, and she's currently on medications for anxiety and postpartum depression—conditions that alcohol doesn't exactly help with.

Chrissy and John are focused on traveling right now with their daughter. While in Bali, they went on a wellness retreat where Chrissy didn’t drink at all. Instead she worked out, ate better, and felt a lot better, finding herself not missing alcohol at all. “I would wake up feeling amazing," she told Cosmo. "My skin felt amazing. I was just so happy."

Chrissy and John’s travels are preparation for some exciting life plans they have in the works. “A lot of stuff's about to come," Teigen said. "We're going to try to have a child. This is for us to try to get in the zone of 'let's travel, let's be away together, let's see our closest friends,' and then we're going to have to do something super hard, which is the IVF process, all over again," she said.

Leave it to Chrissy Teigen to be so upfront, brave and real about this. Alcoholism is a tricky topic and an even trickier situation. I hope she has nothing but the utmost support from her family and friends, and I know I’m rooting for her!

Last Friday, Taylor Swift wiped every single one of her social media accounts clean. She erased all her posts and profile pics on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook, and replaced all the content on her official website and Tumblr with blank pages. People immediately started tweeting up a storm about what this could mean. Many speculated that Swift is about to launch a new album, using #TS6IsComing.

Then, on Monday, Taylor posted a strange, short video to her Instagram. Billboard described the video as a “reptilian tail slithering on a glitch, black background and no sound.” Swift fans went crazy on Twitter again over the eerie post.

But there's more: Tuesday morning, Swift posted an almost identical snake video to her Instagram. The new video posted this morning features a more up-close view of a snake, but is about the same length and same background. #TS6IsComing immediately started trending on Twitter again.

Taylor sure knows how to keep fans on their toes. We can’t wait to finally find out what she’s been planning. Vox had some interesting thoughts on the situation, speculating that Tay may be using the good press she's gotten from her recent sexual assault trial as a launching point to rehabilitate her image a year after her infamous beef with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. After all, a theme of the criticism after that debacle was that she's a disingenuous snake.

And by the way, props to Swift for winning that sexual assault case, holding her own throughout the entire trial like the badass she is.

If you’re on the edge of your seat waiting for Season Two of the hit Netflix show Stranger Things, here’s something to ease the way: You can now go back in time to the ‘80s of the show.

Last Friday, the world was introduced to The Upside Down—a Stranger Things pop-up bar (The Upside Down is an alternate dimension in the show). Chicago Eater reports we have Emporium Popups for this genius idea.

From the blinking Christmas lights to the Byers' family coach, it meets and surpasses our expectations. It’s anything but normal.

The locale offers seven cocktails, including the waffle-inspired "Eleven's Eggo's." Sadly, there's no food, but you can always heat up some waffles in the toaster once you get home.

According to Refinery29, other drink options include “the Mouthbreather (gin, caramelized pineapple, lime, Ancho Reyes, and Hellfire Shrub) and the She's Our Friend & She's Crazy (Reposado tequila, amaretto, lemon, and strawberry).”

If you’re in the Chicago area, especially if you're near Logan Square, dress up as your favorite character and take a walk down to 2367 N. Milwaukee Avenue. Hopefully you’re a night owl, since the bar’s only open from 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Wednesday through Friday, 12 a.m. to 3 a.m. on Saturday and 12 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Sunday. And hurry, because the space is only open through September, according to Mashable. Season 2 comes out on October 27, leaving only a month of waiting time left after the bar closes—just enough time to rewatch Season 1.

If you haven’t watched the supernatural show yet, here’s why you definitely should (hint: it involves amazing child actors and the perfect amount of scariness). It’s available on Netflix, and it’s incredibly relatable, powerful and inspirational. Plus, it's already been renewed for Season 3!

Faye Woodhead is the global head of Deutsche Bank’s Employer Brand team. While working at a leading global bank, she’s found that there are many opportunities to grow, learn and make an impact on the business. Faye has been with the bank since 2004 when she was initially the European Global Markets Graduate Lead. Now she leads a global team and is an expert on employer branding, recruitment, training and development. In an exclusive interview, she tells Her Campus why Deutsche Bank is a great place to work, discusses the Deutsche Bank Internship Program and shares a bit of wisdom from her personal experience.

Curious about pursuing a career or internship in the multifaceted world of finance, or hearing more about the day-to-day of Faye’s job? We’ll let her tell you:

Name: Faye Woodhead

Job Title: Global Head of Employer Brand, Graduate Recruitment and Training

What does your current job entail? Is there such a thing as a typical day?

There is no typical day – although many take on a similar shape. I am responsible for Deutsche Bank’s Graduate Programs, including developing the franchise strategy around junior talent, recruiting, training and development of interns, graduates and post graduates.  I am also responsible for Deutsche Bank’s Employer Brand, which is about articulating the story of our people and culture so that others can see the many opportunities we offer as an employer. 

No matter what the day, I always make it home for bath time! I have two young children and maintaining a healthy balance is important to me. I try to set that example for my team as well. 

What is the best part of your job?

The people I work with, and how much I learn every single day. I have worked at Deutsche Bank for 13 years and there is not a day that goes by without me being impressed by something I learn. In general, I am immensely proud of all we achieve and the impact we make both internally and externally. The creativity and support for the graduate programs at Deutsche Bank is incredible and I have tremendous support from my manager, my mentor and my team.

What was your first entry-level job in your field and how did you get it?

I started on a temporary contract on the Graduate Recruitment team of a well-known US Investment Bank in London, in July 1997, straight out of university. In January 1998, I was offered a permanent contract, and stayed for a further three years, coordinating campus relations across UK and Europe.  I had other work in between, and finally in 2004 I moved to Deutsche Bank.

What words of wisdom you find most valuable?

From my manager: “Let people make mistakes in a controlled environment. As you get more senior ask more questions and listen more.” From my learnings: “Create a vision and a purpose, and teams will feel engaged and empowered.” And from Madeleine Albright: “There is a special place in hell for women who don't help other women.”

What is one mistake you made along the way and what did you learn from it?

Not asking for help when I needed it, and not admitting a mistake when I made it.  Never cover up a mistake, always ask for help and learn from everything you do. 

What has been the most memorable moment of your career thus far?

Six weeks after joining Deutsche Bank, I got to travel around India for 10 days. I had never been to India before, so it was an unforgettable experience, and an experience I was fortunate enough to have two to three times a year for the next five years.  Also, one of the highlights of every year for me is the first day of our Global Orientation as part of the Deutsche Bank Graduate Program. Seeing the entire global graduate class come together and sensing their excitement and energy at the very start of their careers is just tremendous.

What do you look for when considering hiring someone?

Energy, positivity, a willingness to learn, curiosity, integrity and the desire to make a difference.

What is your favorite aspect of the Deutsche Bank Internship Program?

Recruitment is one of the most important things we do, so seeing the business embrace and develop the interns is so rewarding. Also seeing our interns grow their network, learn and ultimately be identified as someone we want to stay with us as a permanent employee is just so exciting – for us and for them!

What advice would you give to a 20-something looking to start in finance?

Keep an open mind, try new things and don’t be afraid to make mistakes (just don’t hide them). Also, ask questions, find a mentor (or two, or even three) from inside your work environment as well as outside. Above all else, have fun and enjoy what you do!

What's the one thing that stands out to you the most in a resume?

Something other than academics: maybe you’ve had a positive impact in the community, you’re part of a network or you’ve had life experiences like traveling, volunteering, learning a new skill. This shows that you’re curious and this will set you apart.

Interested in the program that Faye described? Looking to grow your potential and make an impact? Then click here to learn more about the Deutsche Bank Internship Program! Whether your passion lies in banking, technology or human resources, there’s a place for you here to find a lasting career. It’s your time to shine, collegiettes, so choose Deutsche Bank to get your start.

On Monday night, President Trump expressed further commitment to the war in Afghanistan in a speech to the nation, according to The Washington Post. While this wasn't the president's original plan, he's definitely sticking to it.

“I share the American people’s frustration. I also share their frustration over a foreign policy that has spent too much time, energy, money—and, most importantly, lives—trying to rebuild countries in our own image instead of pursuing our security interests above all other considerations," Trump said. So, wouldn't that mean reducing the number of troops in Afghanistan? Nope! Trump has learned, in his words, that "decisions are much different when you sit behind the desk of the Oval Office.” You can say that again!

His decision now is to increase the amount of troops, but not give "unlimited support" in that area. The full transcript of the speech can be read at NPR, but the most important point is that an estimated 4,000 more troops would have to go overseas. That estimate came from congressional officials—not from Trump himself. All he'll say is that he wants a plan for national security rather than prioritizing the Afghan people.

Not sure how this doesn't prioritize Afghanistan even more...but it's a plan nonetheless.

He also took the opportunity to talk patriotism and unity in the wake of the Charlottesville and Boston protests. "When one citizen suffers an injustice, we all suffer together," Trump said. I might know a citizen or two who doesn't want your sympathy, Mr. President. 

In college, some things are unavoidable: tuition, essays, bad-for-you food…and roommates. Unless you live at home while going to school, from the time you enter the higher education world until you leave it (and probably beyond that), you will be coping with people in your personal space—sharing a bathroom, the kitchen and the TV. In the land of shared space, problems arise frequently—and if you never deal with them, they have the potential to ruin any relationship. Use these tips from experts and real college girls on getting along with your roommate—whether your roomie is a random assignment or your best friend.

What to Do From the Get-Go

A new school year (often) comes with a new living situation—if you’re a new freshman this might be your first time sharing your space with another person—not to mention sharing a bathroom with many more people. Or, you might be an upperclassman who has just moved off campus with friends into an apartment or house. Either way, it’s best to set up ground rules with your roommate(s) to ensure that everyone stays happy and you don’t end up like these HC girls!

Communicate

If you’re living in the dorms, your RA may force you and your roommate to sign a contract concerning things from what to do during a disagreement to how to handle chores, boys in the room and study/sleep schedules. If you live off-campus and aren’t being encouraged to sign a roommate contract, a verbal discussion is a good idea.

Things that should be in any roommate contract (no matter your situation): whether you have times (such as right before a big test or past midnight on a school night) when you need quiet, your feelings about guys/boyfriends staying the night and how to split chores evenly.

Living in the dorms can be especially tricky, however, because neither roommate has the ability to simply go into their own room for escape. Make sure you and your roommate clearly state your boundaries—for instance, if she needs quiet to study but you listen to background music, come up with compromises (you listen to your iPod rather than your stereo) in the beginning to deal with space concerns.

Living outside the dorms involves more than just cleanliness and proximity issues, however. “Sit down with your roommate(s) to set these boundaries from day one,” advises Emma Wallace, a student at Texas State University. “Decide who will do dishes on what days, grocery shopping guidelines (do you share or buy your own) and if there are boyfriends involved, make sure wires are never crossed with that. If you have the basics set in stone (with a little wiggle room), it's hard to mess it up.”

Bond

If you just moved in with a friend (or several), chances are you don’t think you need to bond; however, if you’re first-time roommates, it wouldn’t be a bad idea. Try having a roommate night (cook a joint meal and rent a movie, perhaps)—this could also be a good time to discuss more serious topics, like how you aren’t okay with her plans to have her SO over every other night.

Kathryn Williams, author of Roomies: Sharing Your Home with Friends, Strangers, and Total Freaks, says, “If you're living with a stranger, I think it goes a long way to have an icebreaker outing with that person–lunch, coffee, a party, a movie in the common room. It just starts things off on a friendly foot, even if you have no intentions of hanging out with that person. He or she is probably just as nervous about living with a stranger as you are.”

What to Do When Problems Arise

Susan Fee, author of My Roommate is Driving Me Crazy!, gives five tips from her book on what to do when you and your roommate clash:

1. Talk

If something’s bugging you, bring it up in a non-defensive way rather than assuming your roommate can read your mind. Nothing can change unless you acknowledge it. It’s possible that your roommate may not even be aware of the problem.

2. Focus on behavior, not personality.

It’s not reasonable to ask people to change who they are, but you can ask them to tone down how they express themselves, especially when it’s invading your turf. So, you can’t criticize someone for being "perky," but you can ask for someone not to talk so much while you’re studying.

3. Stay flexible

It’s not your job to fix anybody else, and it helps to recognize that no one is perfect. Be willing to look at your own behavior. Consider what you could do differently to help the situation instead of only blaming your roommate.

4. Start with one pet peeve 

What can you absolutely not deal with? What do you find extremely irritating, but could live with if you had to? There are probably tons of things your roommate does that get on your nerves. But nothing kills a relationship faster than listing dozens of reasons why you don’t like a person. Instead, both of you need to list your number one pet peeve and focus your energy on solving that first.

5. Consider the positives 

Before you decide that life would be better with a roommate exactly like you, think of what you could gain by living with your opposite. We’re often attracted to people who are different from us because they represent qualities we wish we possessed. If you’re shy, maybe being around a more outgoing person will force you out of your shell. When one person’s strength makes up for the other’s weakness, being opposites is an advantage.

Williams also weighs in how to deal with problems if they do come up: “If your roommate is doing something that's annoying you, tell him or her–nicely, if possible,” she says. “When things are awkward, it's sometimes easier to do this the passive-aggressive way–like leaving a Post-It note on her mirror or putting their smelly tennis shoes in the garbage. While easier in the short run, in the long run this only makes things worse–especially if you're sharing a small space. So try to be direct. And whether you're best friends or relative strangers, it's always good to maintain some personal space, even if it's just the size of a twin bed and an hour with your earphones on. Everyone needs some ‘me time.’”

For a good in-between solution for not-so-confrontational girls, there is another suggestion: texting. Texting allows you to communicate openly without the embarrassment and the awkwardness of face-to-face conflict resolution. Allie Jones, a student at he College of William and Mary, says that texting also saves a lot of time when it comes to letting your roommate know what your plans are. “It sounds weird that you need to be texting someone that you live with, but it was so easy to text each other when we were going to be in the room,” she said. “It was much easier to text my roommate on Friday night that I might be bringing my boyfriend over rather than just showing up with him unannounced. She did the same for me, like text if she wouldn't be coming home that night, so I wouldn't worry, or say if she would be back late and I would just leave a little light on and go to sleep.”

Sharing your place with another person, whether it's a new experience for you or you’ve had years of practice, is never easy. Use these tips to keep hostility at bay, and you’ll be gossiping about the cute guy in your chem lab rather than the newest annoyance your roommate has inflicted upon you. Trust me, your friends will thank you.

As the old cliche goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." This seems to be true for children of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue—aka the White House. Despite their families disagreeing politically, Chelsea Clinton has taken to Twitter to defend the youngest Trump, according to US News, after a conservative site berated him.

Late Monday, The Daily Caller, a conservative news site, published an op-ed regarding Barron Trump's attire. The 11-year-old, as writer Ford Springer saw it, was not dressing well enough for a First Kid. "It's High Time Barron Trump Starts Dressing Like He's In the White House," read the headline. The outfit that prompted the Fashion Police citation? A graphic t-shirt, khaki shorts and loafers Barron wore on Air Force One, or you know, stuff normal 11-year-olds wear during the summer. Springer skewered the outfit, saying "Young Barron looked like he was hopping on Air Force One for a trip to the movie theatre." The article added that while Barron isn't obligated to do anything as the president's son, "The least he could do is dress the part when he steps out in public." The argument immediately set off a firestorm.

Chelsea Clinton swiftly denounced the article, telling the writer to back off from a literal child. The daughter of a former president and a former secretary of state, Chelsea is far from apolitical—she frequently tweets at and about Trump—but it's clear she has her boundaries when it comes to attacking the child of a poltician.

Others of all political backgrounds came to Barron's defense, stressing the minor's age and the protections children should get, no matter how high-profile their family may be.

Chelsea's defended Barron before. Back in January, Clinton took on an SNL writer who joked about Barron, according to The Washington Post. The writer was suspended. Clinton later wrote a longer post about the issue on Facebook, stating that Barron is a child and should be treated like one.

Children of the White House have been subjected to a lot of criticism, particularly appearance-based criticism. During her father's time in White House, Chelsea Clinton was often criticized in the media for being 'homely.' She was only a few years older than Barron at the time. Malia and Sasha Obama were once called classless by a GOP aide for wearing miniskirts to a turkey pardoning. The aide later apologized for the remark and subsequently resigned from her position. 

Chelsea's message is clear: No matter the politics or the president, making fun of their children will always be off-limits. 

Is it just me, or did Selena just throw some sly shade at the alt-right? Recently while out and about in L.A., she was spotted wearing a necklace with the message, "We the People." 

The necklace was created by activism-through-fashion brand, The Slow Factory, in collaboration with the American Civil Liberties Union, one of the largest opponents of Trump and his policies. As part of the collab, 10 percent of every necklace purchased goes directly to the ACLU, which funds their efforts to have Confederate statues removed from public areas, among other initiatives. 

Although Selena isn't the most outspoken when it comes to her political stance, this small show of solidarity could go a long way with the kind of platform she has. In fact, this isn't the first time she's shown her support through style. This past February, she was seen sporting a "God Bless Nasty Women" jean jacket at the Grammy after party.

God bless you, Selena. 

It’s no surprise Too Faced's first skin care product is promised to be as colorful and fun as the rest of their makeup. If you are feeling hyped, then you are correct, because the new beauty buy has a huge glittery twist to it. 

If you hear screaming in the distance, don’t worry, it's just because we're beyond obsessed. As if life didn’t have enough face masks and glitter, Too Faced co-founder Jerrod Blandino combined the two! According to Refinery29 the mask is hydrating, gel-based and peels off, so excuse us while we twiddle our thumbs waiting for a launch date. Time to get our unicorn magic on!
