Of all the couples in Hollywood, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are the epitome of #relationshipgoals. Seriously, this is one of the few couples that actually make us believe that true love exists. With the news that Blake is pregnant with their second child, it's only fair that we prove to you why this pair will be even better parents the second time around!

Because they'll be incredibly supportive of their child

Just look at how supportive they are of each other!

Because they'll give the newborn their undivided attention

While simultaneously competing to see whose name the baby will say first.

Because Ryan will probably be a pro at changing dirty diapers by the time their second child is born

And he doesn't mind waking up in the middle of the night to do so.

Because Ryan will entertain their new baby with even more amazing renditions of popular songs

What more could a child want?

Because they will always have both of their kids' backs

Without a doubt

Because they'll probably fall even more in love 

More than we thought possible!

Congrats to Blake and Ryan! We can't wait to welcome another little Reynolds into the world.

Singer-songwriter and music producer Grimes has opened up about her experiences with sexism and sexual harassment in the music industry. And, unfortunately, they're just what you would expect.  

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the Canadian musician shared the pressure music producers have put on her to have sex with them—otherwise they wouldn’t finish the project they'd been working on together. “I will say that I’ve been in numerous situations where male producers would literally be like, ‘We won’t finish the song unless you come back to my hotel room,'” Grimes reveals. “If I was younger or in a more financially desperate situation, maybe I would have done that.”

When asked to weigh in on Kesha’s case against Dr. Luke, Grimes denied to give her opinion, saying, “I don’t know enough about the specifics of that situation, because it seems very complicated.” However, she went on to call the music industry a “hostile environment” that doesn’t take too well to female music producers.

Grimes isn’t the first to speak out directly or indirectly about sexual harassment in the industry and especially Kesha’s case. It's disturbing that we are not at all shocked by what Grimes had to say. Hopefully more celebrities continue to speak about their experience so that we can radically change the way women are treated in the music industry. 

High school seniors everywhere are sitting next to their mailboxes, anxiously awaiting decisions from their respective colleges. But if you’re a high school junior, you might just be trying to survive your high school workload without even starting to think about college. But you don’t have to wait until September to get started on your college applications! There are plenty of things you can do now so you can be college-admissions-ready come fall.

1. Sign up for standardized tests (SAT, ACT, etc.) ASAP

If you haven’t taken a standardized test for your college applications yet, now is the time to sign up for one (or many) and take it! Having an idea of where your standardized test scores stand can really influence where you apply to college, and obviously, not having any idea where your numbers are can make for an extremely stressful application process.

Sarah Wiszniak, a freshman at the University of Connecticut, explains how waiting until senior year to take these tests can make your entire college application process much worse. “It is difficult to gauge your progress and recover from a bad score if you wait to take the SAT or ACT until the fall of your senior year,” she says. “There is no room to mess up if you only have a few months to get your dream score. That’s an insane amount of pressure to put on yourself.”

Jillian Feinstein, a college admissions consultant and founder of CollegeApp Chick, also points out that waiting could jeopardize your entire application process. “Students should begin taking their standardized tests as early as winter of junior year,” she says. “Because of the rise of the test prep book, it is not uncommon to see a student take the test two or three times, and this can often lead to a higher score.”

So, how do you get started registering for the SAT, ACT and/or SAT II (also called “Subject Tests”)? For the SAT and SAT II, check out the College Board’s list of test dates, then go to the College Board website to register. For the ACT, go to the official website, check out the ACT testing dates and follow the site’s directions.

Even more importantly, make sure you have a plan for which tests you’re going to take and when. Have a backup plan as well; if you don’t get the score you want the first time you take a standardized test, when is a good day for you to retake it, and what are you going to do differently to prepare for the test? Taking these steps now as a junior can save you a ton of frustration, stress and heartbreak come senior year.

2. Get the college experience through tours and admissions events

Want to really get ahead of the college admissions game? Become a college tour pro before senior year! Learning the art of touring a college is an extremely valuable skill for when you start creating your final college list senior year.

During your visits as a junior, start taking note of what’s important to you in a college. Did you notice that you always ask about a school’s dining hall food or dorm life? Find yourself really desiring a college with pretty architecture? Seeing what you gravitate towards on a college campus can help you narrow your college list before you even begin senior year.

Kate Masters, a sophomore at Wesleyan University, toured 15 colleges during just her junior year alone and found it to be an extremely helpful experience. “One thing I figured out during my early college tours was that I liked small campuses,” she says. “Making this realization totally changed how I approached my admissions process when I was a senior, and I ended up applying to mostly small liberal arts colleges. I definitely wouldn’t have been able to make this deduction had I not had that extra time during junior year to decide what I wanted.”

Additionally, touring schools as a junior gives you some experience navigating an admissions office. To sign up for a tour, check out the college’s admissions website. Many colleges will take anyone who shows up for the tour, but some schools require you to register, so make sure you sign up if a college requires it!

Also, if you want to show “demonstrated interest” (that’s the admissions term!) in a school, many colleges will ask you to sign a card or a form either ahead of time or in the admissions office to signify that you were there. Colleges will keep these contact cards so they can send you additional information, and they’ll also add it to your application if you end up applying to that school. Obviously, it never hurts to show that you like a school when you apply, so take the minute or two to make sure you write the correct information on these cards.

Another way you can show interest in a college is attending an admissions event. Many colleges open their doors to high school students to give them a special look at campus. For example, Wesleyan University hosts a special event for high school juniors whose parents are alumni of the school where they show these students what Wesleyan has to offer. Other colleges offer opportunities to see departments on campus, like the science laboratories or the journalism school on campus. Feel free to call up an admissions office for a school you’re interested in (or visit their website) to ask if they have any of these programs available in the future!

3. Create a draft of your college list

The idea of creating a college list can be daunting for anyone, so to avoid any last-minute stress or skepticism, it’s important to start thinking about yours now. Although you won’t have your list nailed down as a junior, it’s crucial to start thinking about what types of schools you want to go to and what their requirements are.

For example, colleges ask applicants have a certain GPA, particular test scores and varying numbers of classes in different subject areas, so the sooner you know what you need to have to get into your schools, the better.

Want some help with finding schools that fit your parameters? Check out the College Board’s College Search tool, or check out Admittedly, a website that seeks to “game-ify” the admissions process, where you can earn points for searching for colleges, creating a college list and completing other tasks.

Aida Guhlin, a sophomore at Texas A&M University, recommends you sign up to receive mail from various schools. “What helped me discover colleges was checking the little box on the PSAT freshman year that said, ‘Please send me college information,’ and I was inundated for years,” she says. Though it may seem tedious to be receiving dozens of college brochures every week, all of this mail caused Aida to look at a broader range of colleges that she didn’t look at before, and as a junior, it’s all about keeping your options open!

4. Get money on your mind

You won’t have to officially fill out the FAFSA (the free application you need to complete to receive federal financial aid) or start talking to collegiate financial aid offices for another year, but if never hurts to begin thinking about money now!

If you’re a junior and you really want to get on top of your financial aid, start looking at the FAFSA form now so you’ll know what you need to fill out a year from now. The FAFSA is considered one of the most frustrating and lengthy parts of the college process, so the sooner you know what information you’ll need, the easier it will be to fill out a year from now.

Another way you can start getting FAFSA-ready is by using a financial aid calculator to see how much money your family might have to contribute to your education. The FAFSA’s website has a cool tool you can use called the FAFSA4caster that you can try out to get your estimated family contribution (EFC), which is how much money your family is expected to pay for your education.

If you already know some of the schools you want to apply to, Aida recommends getting a feel for financial aid jargon. “What really helped me during my senior year was contacting the individual schools I was already considering and becoming familiar with the details of their financial aid policies,” she says. “For example, several schools don't have ‘stackable’ scholarships, meaning that you don't get to collect money from every scholarship they give you, instead receiving the largest scholarship. That was important to know, and so was the Ivy League rule of no merit-based scholarships.”

It’s also important to start thinking about the hefty price tag that comes with just applying to college. How are you going to pay for all of those fees for both your actual college apps and your standardized tests? Talk to your parents about how much money you can afford to spend on these fees, and start looking at fee waivers.

Another great financial area to start exploring? Scholarships! Though many scholarships are only open to seniors, there are in fact some scholarships and grants for high school juniors that you can apply for now. Many scholarship programs do open their applications as early as mid-summer, so it’s great to have an idea of which program applications you’ll be filling out beforehand. Keep a running list of which scholarships you’d like to apply for, any deadlines for these awards and what types of requirements they all have.

Need some places to start looking for scholarships? Check out websites like Cappex, Scholarships.com or Fastweb to get started. You can look at pages upon pages of scholarships or create your own profile to get scholarships matched to your particular extracurriculars, GPA and other factors.

5. Create an overall college application timeline

Now it’s time to put everything together! Junior year is a great time to create a master calendar of your entire college admissions process. Find a planner to input everything: standardized testing dates, scholarship deadlines, college application deadlines and anything you’ll need to turn in during your college process. Additionally, create a timeline of when you’ll be working on the various parts of these forms and applications.

Kate also suggests decorating this calendar to make it more fun to write in. “I’m into crafts, so I ended up coloring and doodling in my calendar to make it even cuter when I filled it out,” she says. “Planning out your admissions process may seem like a bore, but that pretty calendar saved me when I was applying to schools, filling out financial aid forms and deciding which college to attend.”

Again, the more preparation you put in now as a junior, the less stressed you’ll be next year. Do you really want to be one of those seniors scrambling to finish applications by the midnight deadlines on January 1? If not, it’s time to start planning everything out now!

The University of California at Davis had an unfortunate incident in 2011. While students sat on campus in a protest, university officers sprayed them with pepper spray. The students were not only unarmed—they were sprayed from point blank distance, for 15 seconds.

If this isn’t horrible enough, UC Davis is trying to whitewash its search results about the incident. The school spent thousands of dollars on a consultant to make the internet forget about the pepper spray incident, according to the Huffington Post. The logic is essentially to erase the scandal from recent memory and things should go back to normal, right?

Not even close.

Like any negative event, the answer isn’t forgetting. It is to remember where things went wrong and to fix them. So here’s the video of the infamous pepper spray incident of Nov. 18, 2011.

According to documents revealed by the Sacramento Bee, UC Davis spent about $175,000 on consultants to clean up the school’s internet reputation, and its chancellor, Linda P. B. Katehi. In addition, the communications budget nearly doubled from $2.93 million to $5.47 million.

Lt. John Pike, the officer pictured spraying the students was put on paid leave after the incident. UC Davis also shelled out more than $38,000 to Pike in workers’ compensation due to the “psychiatric” trauma he suffered after the video went viral—that’s more than the approximately $30,000 each that the three dozen student victims were awarded, according to the Huffington Post.

“We worked to ensure that the reputation of the university, which the chancellor leads, is fairly portrayed,” said UC Davis spokeswoman Dana Topousis, according to The Washington Post. “We wanted to promote and advance the important teaching, research and public service done by our students, faculty and staff, which is the core mission of our university.”

Many experts do not agree with this being the best technique to comeback from the incident. “It is surprising that they thought this could be done without the light of day shining on the act,” Doug Elmets, a public affairs consultant in Sacramento, told the Sacramento Bee. “It is one more example of how out of touch the leadership at UC Davis is when it comes to their public perspective.”

The world shouldn’t soon forget this incident. Students, like any other group, have the right to protest without the fear of being pepper sprayed. That’s just common sense. UC Davis, in the meantime, has some serious public image issues to work on, especially after trying to forget its mistakes. 

There aren't too many sensations that are worse than period cramps. And you have to get them every month. So it's about time someone finally got the memo and introduced an idea to help fight period cramps directly at the source. 

According to Bustle, Livia is a device that literally turns off period cramps. 

The makers of the product claim that Livia works better than painkillers. The electromagnetic pulses of the device stop the brain's pain signals, making sure that you pretty much won't feel a thing when those cramps start to get a little out of hand. 

"The device stimulates the nerves, making it impossible for pain to pass," writes Prof. Bari Kaplan of Women's Hospital - Beilinson on the product's Indiegogo funding page. "The method Livia uses has been proven effective in several clinical studies and I strongly recommend the use of the device to relieve PMS pain at any time."

The Indiegogo page has already raised over $127,000, which more than doubles the campaign's goal of $50,000.

Livia is now available for pre-order at $85, which is a good price compared to what the devices will be retailing for soon ($149). 

Health officials say that over 90 people at the University of Rochester in western New York have shown symptoms linked to Norovirus, according to the Democrat & Chronicle. Most victims of the virus are being reported as students.

School officials are warning students and faculty to wash their hands thoroughly to prevent the spread of the virus, which can be passed on through contaminated food and water as well as by touching contaminated surfaces. 

The source of the outbreak still has yet to be identified, but the university made changes to its Dandelion Day Celebration on Friday. The event included handwashing stations near amusement rides, wash downs of the rides every 15 minutes, and mostly pre-packaged food served.

As of now, there have been no plans to cancel class. 

Earlier this week, Adam M. Aron, the new president and CEO of AMC Entertainment, caused quite the commotion when he revealed that there was a possibility that the company would begin making some theaters a little more texting friendly. The idea stems from Aron's plan to appeal to millennials and make movie-going experiences a little better for all of your friends who might as well just glue their phones to their hand.

"When you tell a 22-year-old to turn off the phne, don't ruin the movie, they hear 'please cut off your left arm above the ebow,'" Aron said in an interview with Variety. "You can't tell a 22-year-old to turn off their cellphone. That's not how they live their life...We need to reshape our product in some concrete ways so that millennials go to movie theaters with the same degree of intensity as baby boomers went to movie theaters throughout their lives."

As per usual, the social media sphere lit up AMC's Twitter page in opposition to the idea and even threatened to boycott the theater.

Once AMC realized that everyone freaking out (and not in a good way), the company quickly scrapped the idea. 

"With your advice in hand, there will be NO TEXTING ALLOWED in any of the auditoriums at AMC Theatres. Not today, not tomorrow and not in the forseeable future," Aron wrote in a statement posted on Twitter.

It may have sounded a little counterproductive but, before changing his mind, Aron was planning on splitting up the audiences to make sure that anyone who wouldn't be able to keep their hands off of their phone could watch their movie in one auditorium, while those who prefer a more traditional theater experience would be in another. 

"While we recognize that there is a growing population that is continuously connected to their phones, above all we also remain extremely sensitive that the overwhelming majority of our current audience does not want texting to disrupt their experience," said Ryan Noonan, AMC's director of corporate communications, according to Mic. "We would only introduce a concept like this when we are totally confident that we can fully satisfy the desires of our current guests."

The New York primaries are coming up on April 19, meaning that the candidates for president are trying to round up as many votes as they can. While Hillary Clinton leads Bernie Sanders with 1,292 to 1,042 delegates (not including superdelegates, who may change their support at any time before the Democratic convention), New York could be a turning point for either of the candidates. Sanders has won seven of the last eight contests, giving him a huge momentum going into New York. Winning could change the entire race for the Democratic nomination. However, a win for Clinton could push Sanders aside and push her even closer to the 2,383 delegates needed to win.

With So. Much. Excitement. at Thursday’s debate in Brooklyn, no one should miss out on any of the action—so here’s a recap of the New York fight night:

The gloves FINALLY came off between Hillary and Bernie

Politics, if we’re all being honest here, can get a bit boring if every candidate is being perfectly well behaved, waits their turn, and is always kind. This was beginning to be the case a few months ago between Clinton and Sanders. However, Thursday night’s debate finally brought out some good old-fashioned political theater, punches and all.

Sanders and Clinton repeatedly scoffed at and yelled over one another. Neither of them were restrained at delivering blows, whether about the minimum wage, gun control or tax returns. Let the political boxing match begin!

Backtracking on Calling Hillary Unqualified

Just one week before the debate, Sanders went on record calling Clinton “unqualified.” According to CNN, he said, “If you want to question my qualifications, then maybe the American people might wonder about your qualifications, Madame Secretary.”

During the debate, Clinton addressed this comment by saying, “I’ve been called a lot of things in my life. That was a first.” Sanders went on to clarify what he meant, saying that Clinton was indeed qualified, but she may not have the best judgment.

Crime Bill Regrets

Among the many ghosts haunting Clinton’s campaign, one of them is the crime bill that her husband Bill Clinton signed into office in 1994. The Black Lives Matter movement in particular says the bill has hurt African American lives by putting a disproportionate amount of black citizens in jail. Bill Clinton fumbled with handling Black Lives Matters protesters during a rally for his wife. Now, Clinton is apologizing for it.

“I’m sorry for the consequences that were unintended,” Clinton said during the debate, after reminding the audience that she was not the president at the time but did support the bill. Keep in mind that although Sanders attacked Clinton for the bill, he voted it into place while he was in Senate.

Minimum Wage Raise Differences that Basically Are Saying the Same Exact Thing but They’re Still Going to Yell About It

Clinton wanted to raise the minimum wage to $12 in some states, and $15 in others, depending on the standards and prices of living on a case by case basis. Sanders just wanted to raise it to $15. After some grilling by Sanders, Clinton did concede that if congress passed a bill to raise the minimum wage to $15, she would sign it. “To suddenly announce now you’re for 15, I don’t think is quite accurate,” Sanders said. “I think the secretary has confused a lot of people,” said Sanders, according to Politico.

Both did agree that the current minimum wage is way too small to keep. But apparently this micro-difference between sometimes $15 and always $15 is enough to yell (loudly) about for the two candidates.

Release the Transcripts, Hillary!

One of Clinton’s issues with voters has been her lack of transparency—something that Sanders has had no trouble capitalizing on. Last night, he called for her to release transcripts of her speeches to places like Goldman Sachs. She once again refused, citing Sanders for not releasing his tax returns yet either.

“There are certain expectations when you run for president—this is a new one. I’ve said if everyone agrees to do it, because there are speeches for money on the other side, I know that. But I will tell you this: There is a long-standing expectation that everybody running release their tax returns,” Clinton said according to New York Daily News.

Who’s the Real New Yorker Here?

In their closing statements, the candidates reminded the Brooklyn audience that they are the New York-iest of the New Yorkers. Clinton was a senator for New York for some time, despite having been born in Illinois. Meanwhile, Sanders was born and raised in Brooklyn, but moved to Vermont and has been there for decades.

Both of them have seen “Hamilton” though, so really, they’re both pretty in tune with New York right?

The race to be the Democratic nominee is more competitive than ever. New York, your primaries are Tuesday—you’re in the political center stage, so get out there and vote!

The passionate girl believes she was placed on this planet to balance what she loves the most. She wants to be more intimate with everything that drives her purpose in this life, including her S.O.

So if you are lucky enough to encounter the passion girl, here are 14 reasons why you should give her a shot and date her: 

1. Yes, She Does Really Like You

A S.O. and a passionate girl’s other infatuations are valued equally. The passionate girl has the upmost love for the things she does and likes. When it comes to relationships, she will give it her all or nothing. So if she is dating you, she is giving it her all because you are someone she is simply passionate about. Eventually one day, that passion she has for you, will be expressed an unconditional love for you.

2. She Will Tell You That She Really Does Like You

She will stretch the potential of her passions by confessing her feelings about you, to you. She will nourish your relationship, as she would with another outlet of passion. Communicating how wonderful you are is her way developing a more passionate and deeper connection.

3. She Really Wants Everyone to Like You Too

Painting a picture with words of the happiness her S.O. brings her isn’t a hard task to fulfill. Don’t be surprised if she talks about you as if she has a thesaurus glued to her hand 24/7. Her vocabulary is colorful and contains all kinds of positive synonyms.

4. She Wants to Know What Makes You Tick

She craves to uncover your passions, as well as her own. Instead of reading a book to learn more about something she likes, she will just read you. Instead of asking Siri a question, she will just ask you. She will never back down to discover, then love your own nooks and crannies.

5. She is Confident

She will sway you with the security of her self-assurance. The devotion she dedicates to her passions makes her, determined to be true herself. Perusing her passions make her believe in her individuality.

6. Her Actions Will Speak Louder Than Her Words

She is all about doing. She knows it isn’t worth being passionate about someone or something if she cannot push herself to the limit. Her limit doesn’t end at texting 24/7, her limit barley starts at texting 24/7. Expect a whole lot of livin’ packed into in- person encounters, adventures and communication.

7. You Will Know What She Likes

… Because geeze, she will not be able to shush about it. She isn’t sorry either.

8. You Will Know What She Doesn’t Like

On the other hand, she will be able to shush about this. A passionate chick will not want to waste negative energy her dislikes. A challenge for her is to maintain just only a mediocre opinion of a person, place or thing. She might seek to find a “happy medium”, but deep down she knows it will never been found. Since it is a struggle for her to fake her intense feelings, the passionate girl either loves or utterly dislikes everything.

9. So Yes, You Will Know How She Unapologetically Feels

When it comes to relationships, she will never lie to herself. She will refuse to waste time to pouring passion into a commitment that could crumble. Whether is it positive or negative, she values truth and honesty from herself and yourself. She will directly disclose is how she feels. Period.

10. She Isn’t Scared Of the Future

Her passions keep her intact and stable. In this life, she defines failure by only existing. She must be present. The future excites her because it is a place where her passions will grow and gain momentum – including your relationship with her!

11. She Will Take Risks

She is bold. She didn’t satisfy cultivating the love she has for her passions without taking risks. People want a relationship where their S.O. will give 100%, but she will fearlessly give 110%. Her attention to your own details could plan plenty of pleasant surprises.

12. She Is the Queen of Quirks

Not everything (or maybe everything) she loves will be mainstream. Her confidence stems from her known uniqueness. She might get the warm fuzzies from collecting blue china or streaming Star Wars. Finding and expressing bliss in outlets that most people cannot is something that will always manage to keep her happy.

13. She Will Show You Off

Her social media accounts are just another representation of herself and her passions. So if she instas her dog and tweets about her mom, you better believe at the bare minimum she will at least Snapchat story you.

14. She is Her Own Individual 

She is her own individual, who dates you. To put this in the most simple terms, your relationship will never become so toxic and unhealthful that you two mesh into “one.” You are two individuals. Two individual people who just happen to truly like each other. She was happy with herself before met you… which means she could also easily be as happy without you. Sorry for the harsh reality, but you can ensure you would never have bad blood with her if things come to an unfortunate end.

However if you marry her or not, seek out to date a passionate girl because you will grow as your own person. No matter the status between the two of you, use your current or past experience with her to elevate yourself. Appreciate that you learned about her favorite time era, or artist because it might have never fathomed her personal passions before. Realize that you learned about yourself through the security of herself. You might even discover that a hard – loving, passionate girl just isn’t your thing.

No matter how your relationship winds up, dating the passionate girl will always teach you to define and develop your passions in the present to create purpose in your future.

"There's an aisle called 'Beauty' that does not include all people. It's something that women have been conditioned to accept as fact, but it's no longer acceptable," says senior art director, Emmie Nostitz, about the beauty industry.

Walking into a pharmacy or grocery store, I usually gravitate towards the beauty aisles—I mean, who really goes for food anyways. I walk around, look at the products, maybe pick up a product, then I find myself wandering over to the "Ethnic" section. Can you guess where? More likely than not, this section is outside of the beauty aisles, making me feel that my beautiful is not enough to be in the mainstream aisles.

With the #BreakTheWalls campaign, started by SheaMoisture, this division and segmentation in the beauty aisles is being tackled. SheaMoisture wants to break down the walls between the "Ethnic" aisles that reside outside of the "beauty" aisles and they are urging stores to do so.

Check out the ad:

This ad wants to make a more inclusive shopping experience while also highlighting the effects of how this division affects how one perceives herself.

"I have often said over the last 20 years that the beauty aisle is the last place in America where segregation is still legal," said Richelieu Dennis, founder and CEO of Sundial brands which is the parent company of SheaMoisture. The director of the video shot it in a real beauty aisle so that a story could be told about the people who have to go through this discrimination everyday. The commercial products are always stocked and well-kept, but the same cannot be said about this "ethnic" section. "Separating 'beauty' from 'ethnic' has only served to further perpetuate narrow standards of what is considered beautiful in our industry and our society—which is why we began leading the efforts to break down these walls," Dennis tells.

"We're advancing a mission and vision to change the social dialogue about how we're looking at beauty as a society..."

What are your thoughts on the division between beauty and ethnic and the #BreakTheWalls campaign?

Preparing to study abroad can feel pretty daunting. What should you pack? Which immunizations will you need? Will your credits transfer?

Chances are you’ll have tons of questions because there’s so much that you need to do to prepare to travel overseas. Lucky for you, there are tons of people who can help as you get ready to study abroad. From finalizing your abroad class schedule with an adviser to getting the 411 from students who have already studied abroad, in order to be completely prepared for your trip, reach out to these seven key people.

1. Your study abroad program adviser

You should definitely talk to your study abroad program adviser, whether the program is affiliated with your school or an external organization. Study abroad advisers are experts about what your program offers, so they can give you a better idea of what to expect.

Emily Whalen, a program manager at the Boston University study abroad office, says students should ask in-depth questions about what their program includes. “Students should know what courses are going to be offered on their proposed program, how many students participate [in] the program, what type of housing is offered and how likely are they to get it,” Whalen.

Find out if your program offers orientation to help you meet others in your program and get accustomed to your new city, if linens are included with your housing arrangements or if you should bring your own and if your professors are natives of the country or if they are from your home institution.

Whalen also advises that you ask, “Does the program have on-site staff? Does the program include excursions, or are these extra? Does the cost of the program include housing, meals [and] airfare?” You’ll want to get a complete picture of all that your program offers.

2. Your academic adviser

Unfortunately, the credits you take abroad don’t always automatically transfer to your college back at home. “Each college has slightly different rules regarding transfer credit,” Whalen explains.

Will you be taking your courses for a grade, or are they pass/fail? Will your grades be factored into your GPA or merely be listed on your transcript? These are all important questions to ask your academic adviser. Talk to him or her about which classes you want to take abroad and which requirements the classes you want to take will fulfill. “[An] adviser can verify that the courses they have had approved fit in with their degree and that the student isn’t violating any transfer credit rules of the college,” Whalen says.

Be sure to find out if there are certain classes that your university or major won’t accept as transfer credits so that you know which classes to avoid! Sort this out before you go abroad—you don’t want to end up taking classes that will set you off track without realizing it. It might be hard to reach your academic adviser via email while you’re overseas, and the last thing you want to do during your first few days abroad is flood your adviser with emails and international phone calls in a frenzy because you don’t know which classes to register for.

“It was important for me to talk to my academic adviser to get my future straightened out in terms of classes,” says Megan Shuffleton, a sophomore at Emerson College who studied abroad in London. “I talked with him about what classes I needed to take to fulfill major and gen ed requirements and where I would pick up when I returned. I switched majors during my second semester at school, so it was important for me to find a program that offered classes that would fulfill some of my course requirements.

3. Your banker

Ensuring that your finances are in order before going abroad is an absolute must! If you head abroad and make charges on your credit card without notifying a representative at your bank first, your credit card will likely be canceled because your banker will think your card has been stolen.

“It’s always a good idea to talk to your bank and let them know that you will be traveling outside of the country so that they do not put a stop on your credit card,” says Nicole Gartside, a senior at NYU who studied abroad in Spain. “Nothing would be worse than being in a foreign country and having no money.”

This is definitely something to avoid, so be sure to talk to your banker before you leave. Let him or her know the exact dates when you will be traveling abroad and the countries you may visit while you’re there.

While you’re talking, don’t forget to ask about what type of ATM fees you may run into abroad. Some banks have international partners, so you may be able to use a partner bank—whether you use their services or ATMs—without incurring any additional fees. For example, if you have an account with Bank of America, you can use include BNP Paribas in France, Barclays in the United Kingdom, Deutsche Bank in Germany, Westpac Bank in Australia and New Zealand and Santander in Mexico. Knowing where you can take out money without being slammed with fees will be a major relief when you first arrive and are completely jetlagged, and it will help you save money in the long run!

4. Your doctor

One of the most important people to contact is your doctor. If you regularly take medication, you should ask your doctor if you can get a prescription for enough in advance to last your entire trip. From a unique allergy medication to a specific birth control prescription, it may not be feasible for you to get what you need in a foreign country. Since it may be difficult to get it shipped to you, stock up ahead of time for the essentials that you’ll need.

“There were a lot of steps to take in order to get just three months’ worth of medication,” Nicole says. “I was on the phone with my health care provider for a long time, and we needed to pay future balances in order to get future medication.” Since it can take a while to go through all the proper steps to get the medication you will need, do not put this off until the last minute!

You should also ask your doctor if you are up to date on all of your immunizations and see if he or she recommends getting any additional vaccinations before your trip. You can also talk to a representative at the country’s embassy that you are visiting or consult the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for further vaccination recommendations.

Additionally, don’t forget to make sure you’ll have health insurance while abroad! Talk with your provider about the coverage you have; some offer health care abroad and others do not, so you may have to get coverage on your own. You can also talk to your program adviser about this, because you may even get health care coverage through your study abroad program.

Once you have coverage, look over what options you’ll have if you get sick. This way, you will be well on your way to staying healthy while abroad!

5. Your employer

Before you hop on a plane to a foreign country, check in with your current employer. You’ll need to give him or her plenty of advance notice that you will be leaving your position, and if you’re still interested, ask if you’ll be able to return to your job once you get back. “When you’re abroad, you won’t have much time or energy to communicate with employers back home, so it’s best to sort things out with employers before you leave,” Megan says.

It’s best to be honest about how long you’ll be gone for and know what date you would be able to start working again to give your employer as much information as possible.

“Sorting [work-related] things out before I left definitely has taken the pressure off of communicating now when it would be much more difficult,” Megan says.

6. A representative from your phone carrier

If you have a smartphone you want to bring with you, double-check with your phone company’s representative to ensure that you know what setting to put your phone on so you won’t be slammed with roaming fees! Even if you don’t want to use your smartphone’s “phone features,” you can still use it to take pictures and to connect to Wi-Fi as long as you know how to put your phone on the proper setting.

7. Students who have gone on your program before

One of the best ways to learn about what to expect when abroad is speaking with someone who has already gone on your program. If you don’t know anyone who has studied abroad with your program, your study abroad program adviser may be able to connect you with a student who did your program.

Once you’ve found someone who’s done your program, ask her to go out to coffee so she can spill the beans about her time abroad! Chances are, she misses it so much that she secretly—or not so secretly—loves to constantly remind people that she studied abroad, so she’ll definitely be down to talk to you.

Ask who her favorite professors were and what their grading scale was like, what condition the school buildings were in and where she went when she needed Wi-Fi or a printer. Ask about her housing accommodations as well as packing. What did she bring that she didn’t need? What did she wish that she’d brought? How much money did she spend? What did she wish she did when abroad that she didn’t do?

Get lists of the best local restaurants and cafes. Which clubs did she go to? Which stores did she shop at most frequently? It will be so much easier for you to navigate your first few weeks if you already have a list of places to check out.

“Before I studied abroad in Spain last summer, a friend of mine sent me a list of great locations she had found while previously studying abroad there,” Nicole says. “She recommended some great locations I would have never thought to venture into and steered me away from some places that sounded fun, but would have been sketchy or disastrous.”

Another way to learn about studying abroad is by heading to the blogosphere. Tons of students journal their day-to-day experiences when traveling, and you can learn a lot about what to expect just by reading those firsthand accounts.

“I did a lot of my research through other students’ blogs,” Megan says. “A lot of study abroad students keep a blog throughout the semester, and looking at past students’ blogs gave me a really good idea of what goes on during study abroad, what I’d need to bring, things to keep in mind.”

Tips and tricks from someone who has been there will help give you a picture of what to expect and make your adjustment to living in a new foreign country that much easier!

It’s important to make sure that you’re as prepared as possible before you study abroad. Don’t be afraid to constantly ask questions—you’ll be traveling to a new country, and by reaching out to these key people, you’ll be well on your way toward being completely ready for your trip!

Finals week is here, and at this point, you're just hoping for anything but an F.

Dream big, buddy!

You act casual, but really, you’re a puddle of emotions right now. 

There's nothing wrong with a little crying, okay? 

Especially because you’re not even close to being ready for your exams.

You've reached a breaking point. 

First of all, your professor announced that your hardest exam would be cumulative.

Just…why?

And then you notice your exam schedule just sucks in general.

No, really. Why?!

So you put off studying until the last minute, hoping that if you just avoid it, it’ll all go away. 

Reality is only reality if you acknowledge it. Denial is key.

Your roommate wakes you up to study, and you’re just like:

Doesn't she know that your brain needs sleep in order to function?

And then she suggests that you both grab a good spot at the library before you get coffee.

Now get me a Trenta…or caffeine in an IV.

Someone tells you not to drink so much coffee. You just look at them like:

They don't understand what you're going through.

You start studying by staring at your notes, hoping they’ll just sink in. 

Didn't someone tell you that if you sleep on your textbook you'll learn the information more quickly?

You decide to give up on studying and just start watching cat videos on YouTube instead.

They never get old. 

After 24 solid hours in the library, you look at yourself in the mirror and realize:

Take a shower before your exam, would you?

Your friends start asking if they can do anything for you, and you’re like:

You can use all the emotional support you can get.

Your parents call to see how studying is going, and you just tell them:

"I'm going to ace every one of these exams!" - You, trying to assure your mother that college wasn't a waste of time and money. 

In reality you’re like:

How many tacos from Taco Bell will fix your brittle writing hand and broken heart?

Enough crying. You wake up the morning of your exam, and all at once it hits you what you have to do that day.

For a brief moment, you almost forgot. Ignorance is bliss.

You realize that you can’t just wish this exam away. 

Even though you really, really wish that you could. 

Your first exam is full of information you've never seen before, so you just stare at it like:

Where was this information in the textbook?

But you can't even dwell on it, because you've got three more finals to take. 

But you know that once you're done, you'll be prancing out of that classroom like:

Hello, summer! BYE, FINALS.

Name: MacKenzie Jones
Age: 22
Job Title and Description: Corporate Communications at Fingerpaint, a strategic and creative marketing company 
College Name/Major: George Mason University/Marketing
Website:www.fingerpaintmarketing.com
Twitter Handle:@m_kenziejones / @Fingerpainters

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

MacKenzie Jones: I wear quite a few hats, so every day is different! I’m primarily responsible for Fingerpaint’s corporate communications, but that in itself is multifaceted. On a given day, I manage the agency’s external advertising strategies and budget, which includes everything from traditional and digital marketing to media relations, negotiation, and award identification and submission. I also work closely with our creative team to develop new collateral materials, our social strategists to execute multichannel tactics and our people and culture team to integrate new hires into our internal communication system.

What is the best part of your job?

MJ: Getting to collaborate across the entire agency. The fact that I have the opportunity to work with so many different teams and people every day is incredible. It’s not only exciting but incredibly rewarding to know that I’ve played a part, whether that’s big or small, in the array of amazing work that leaves the doors of our agency. It also doesn’t hurt that since I oversee award submissions, I get to attend the fun events and dinners!

What is one thing you wish you knew about your industry when you first started out that you know now? 

MJ: This isn’t something that came as a complete surprise to me, but I guess it really hit me once I was knee-deep in the work. There are some very strong personalities in advertising, and I quickly learned that it’s not always about the quality of work you produce but your ability to work with others. Navigating people’s behaviors, traits and temperaments is key in any industry, and if you can find a way to work with a range of personalities, you’re golden.

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

MJ: One mistake I made at the start of my career (Who am I kidding? I’m still at the start of my career.) was thinking that everything would get done smoothly and on time. In this industry, there are always last-minute changes, and you’re usually waiting on someone else. It’s definitely been an adjustment having to rely on others and not being able to complete everything myself. It’s a learning experience I’m still going through, and it’s all about being a part of a team.

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

MJ: This is my first job since graduating from college, and I’ve always excelled in a fast-paced environment. However, “agency life” is no joke, and oftentimes you are literally flying by the seat of your pants! The amount of major responsibility I was given only a few short weeks after starting was pretty surreal, but at the same time it was exhilarating because it gave me a chance to prove myself right away.  

What words of wisdom do you find most valuable?

MJ: Buy the shoes. Only kidding, but I definitely live by that motto! Something I try and remind myself of every day is that everyone has at least one strength that sets them apart from others—find it, improve it more than you think possible and leverage it.

What advice would you give to a 20-something with similar aspirations?

MJ: Yes, of course it’s important to secure a job after college, but I think with such a major stress today on internships, jobs, salary, etc. that we forget how much there is to experience your first few years after graduation. I’ve grown and matured so much in only nine months, and I owe that to the risks I’ve taken in my work and in my life. Take every chance that’s thrown your way because regardless of how it turns out, you will absolutely learn from it. Long story short, don’t expect to have it all figured out because I certainly don’t.

Choosing a career is a huge decision. Deciding to change industries is an even bigger one. You might be thinking: Do I have to go back to school? Will I have to start over completely with an internship? Is having a strong passion enough to qualify me for work in another field? Stop panicking! Much like switching majors in college, changing careers is a difficult process, but with a little hard work and confidence, it can lead you to your dream job. 

We spoke to Emily Miethner, founder of FindSpark, a community of young creative professionals focused on career success, to get the scoop on career transitions. Her main advice? If you know how to talk about your professional story and you know a lot about the industry you want to get into, you can change careers successfully. So get started with these tips as your guide to a new professional you.

1. Be confident in your professional story

Own your past experiences and be proud of them. But at the same time, don’t waste an interview by talking about irrelevant experiences. “I don't think people realize how much control they have over their personal branding,” advises Miethner. “Take ownership over what you've done in the past.” Downplay internships that aren’t relevant, even if you did them for the longest amount of time. Focus on skills the employer wants to hear, even if that means only talking about your involvement in a club.

Take Tiffany Chiao, who holds an entertainment marketing position at HBO. A 2013 graduate from Rutgers University with a Master’s degree in Education, Chiao created a Twitter page for a just-starting-out band that grew to over a thousand followers; her advantage when applying to music jobs. “I was always hesitant to apply to jobs that required X amount of experience, and I had little experience in entertainment marketing/PR,” says Chiao. “But one of the reps [I met at an event] told me that as long as I could spin my skills on my resume to fit the job description, then I should not let that stop me.” The bottom-line is: what you’ve done at your jobs, and what you’ve gotten out of you experiences, is more important than the titles on your resume.

2. Perfect your pitch

Believing you have the ability to make a career change is half the battle. Building your confidence and being willing to step out of your comfort zone are major, necessary factors in creating a strong professional persona.

“You need to be able to practice talking about yourself, sharing your story and practicing your pitch,” says Miethner. “You'll never get better if you don't practice.”

Practical tip: Start with your LinkedIn page. Do you have a summary? Write one that explains your skills and what you can bring to a job. Showcase what you can do and why you are the person to do it. 

3. Really do your research

Understanding the industry you want to get into and the people who make it tick is key.

“It’s important to understand if it’s right for you,” says Miethner. “It’s incredibly important to do your research.”

Don’t just look for opportunities on job boards. Read company websites, learn about the lives of successful people in the field, and talk to everyone you know about your career change.

“I reached out to many different people, any connections that I had to the entertainment world, for jobs and resume advice,” says Chiao. “[The] key is to never burn bridges. Always follow up and check in with previous employers or coworkers or friends. You never know what doors they can open for you.”

Tom Dezell, career advisor and author of Networking for the Novice, Nervous, or Naive Job Seeker, agrees. “We tend to idealize what we want out of our career and, unless we speak to enough people who perform that work, we don’t get a true picture of what one actually does on a day-to-day basis.”

4. Network, network, network

You’ve heard it a million times, but networking really does make a difference.

Gillian Kane, a 2010 graduate from the University of Delaware with a finance degree, wanted to break out of her billing job and get into something with social media or movie-making.

“I went to multiple events that focused on networking and how to get your name out there and it was all really helpful… I am not a very extroverted person but I did gain some insight in how to make connections,” says Kane. “Always try something new… networking really pushed me out of my comfort zone.”

Tip: Network even when you are working where you want. As a temp at HBO, Chiao spoke to people in various departments and discovered new interests she had while getting the inside scoop on what really goes on behind the scenes. In a casual conversation you can ask people what they really like about their job. Who knows; you may discover a field you like even more.

5. You’ll have to put in some “side hustle”

Figuring out the skills you lack and then putting in the work to gain some experience is what Miethner calls a "side hustle." Take a college class to get a feel for the field, freelance or take on a small project that lets you dip your toes into that industry. Even volunteering can be a great way to get some sort of experience and reassurance that this is the right decision for you.  

“You will have to work much, much harder than people who have had internships and experience in the field,” says Miethner. “But you can articulate how your past skills will be transferable to this new industry.”

The easiest thing you can do to jumpstart your career change? Use social media to gain insights into companies and make connections. Make your mindless scrolling more productive by following the companies and people you want to work for to get a better sense of the office culture.

6. You have something to fall back on

If all else fails, you do already have a career. Maybe the company you’re at just isn’t right for you.

“Some valid reasons to pursue a new career can be that the work you have chosen doesn’t inspire you the way you felt it would. Perhaps the future demand in your field will decline. Maybe you now realize that the salary scale in your occupation won’t support the lifestyle you want,” says Dezell. “Honestly analyze why you want to make a change.  Make sure it’s actually the nature of the field/work that you want to move from.”

Kane, for example, didn’t end up switching careers in the end; she’s still in billing. Instead, she switched companies and is now employed at WeWork. “I am happy with my new job. WeWork is a great company and I'd like to see how much more the company can grow firsthand,” she says.

You may feel like you’re running out of time to find a job you truly love, but don’t worry too much. 

“The time to switch careers, or explore different options is now. We are not tied down to a family or children. We have time to find what we want to do. If it doesn't work out, it is never too late to go back to what you got your degree in,” says Chiao. 

7. Know that it’s not easy, but you’re not alone

Changing careers is a commitment. Deciding to make the transition is hard enough and going through the lengthy process can feel never-ending and hopeless.

“With my skills and experience in finance, I thought I could figure out a way in to making movies or television somehow, but it turned out to be pretty difficult,” admits Kane.

Sometimes, taking comfort in the fact that other people are going through the same thing will get you to your goal.

“I felt boxed in,” says Chiao about her first job as a teacher. “All I could think about was how young I was and how I already felt stuck… I wanted to meet new people and work with people around my age.”

And now she’s been at her job with HBO for a little over a year. “My friend said to me, ‘You are only person I know who is actually happy to go to work every day,’” says Chiao. “I have a great boss and team who have supported me since day one. I love the culture at my job—I've joined the softball team and triathalon training team… I'm living my dream at my dream job and couldn't be happier.”

Remember: don't lose hope. Taking on the stress that comes with making a major life change is not easy. Be proud of yourself for even trying to go through a career transition, no matter the outcome.

With graduation right around the corner, a lot of us are feeling the pressure, and not just with passing finals and securing our post-college plans. If there’s someone you’ve had a crush on since the first day of freshman orientation, but you haven’t quite built up the courage to make a move, that 15-page paper doesn’t seem like such a big issue. You don’t want any regrets, but how do you make an impression with so little time left? Here’s a five-step plan to get your crush’s attention before you accept your diploma.

1. Come up with a plan—now

The hardest part of this step is working with a limited amount of time. With so little time left until graduation, the days of building up confidence or plotting out an elaborate scheme are long gone. At this point, you’ll want to come up with a plan that fits your unique situation. If you don’t have a lot of time, it’s best to just keep things simple and invite your crush out to celebrate your success over drinks or dinner. We’ll elaborate more on these steps later, but whatever you choose to do, don’t let the ticking clock deter you from your goal.

2. Be confident

This step is by far the most important. Even if your college career is winding down, you shouldn’t be afraid to make the first move! In fact, now is definitely not the time to be too shy or play hard to get. Confidence is key. Putting the situation in perspective can help calm any nerves, so think of it this way: you’ll be graduating soon, so if you get turned down or things get a little awkward, at least you won’t have to face your crush in chemistry class the next morning. But, if things go well, you’ll be really proud of yourself for having the confidence to make the first move. Either way, the feeling of graduating without any ‘what ifs’ will be completely worth it.

3. Make a post-finals anti-study date

Now that your schedule is finally free of finals, take a much-needed break from studying—and from the library. Make a Frappuccino happy hour date or make plans to hang in the courtyard to celebrate your newfound freedom and the start of summertime. Trust us: Your crush will love taking some time to just sit back and relax with a girl like you.

4. Make a dinner date

Maybe an anti-study celebration date isn’t your style—that’s okay. Now’s the time to make a date; invite your crush to dinner or fro-yo, or something else that’s a little more substantial than coffee alone. Or, if you have the time and effort left in you, you could plan something more elaborate. Maybe the two of you used to eat at the dining hall every day freshman year. How cute would it be to make one last trip back there and relive all the memories? Even if the two of you don’t have a special spot that works out quite as perfectly as that, just be confident enough to make plans and get your true feelings out there.

5. Get help from your friends

We’ve been preaching confidence all this time, and while that’s definitely important, sometimes situations are just easier with your friends around. So get a bunch of friends together for drinks and invite your crush along for the ride. If you really like living on the edge, invite him or her out for a celebratory post-graduation feast with a big group, and make your move then. It’s even better if you have an end-of-the-year event that requires a date (or one to which pretty much everyone brings one anyway). So whether it’s a sorority/fraternity event or a club’s end of the year bash, take full advantage of it and ask your crush to go with you.

Group or no group, the last thing you want is look back and wish you would’ve stepped-up when you had the chance. Whichever plan you decide on, the last days of school are your last-ditch effort to let your crush know how you truly feel once and for all—besides, who wants to leave college with regrets? So boost up your confidence and make some moves, collegiettes!

A cult favorite, the Naked palette by Urban Decay is nothing short of amazing. Whether you're a fan of the original or have found your go-to in some of its variations, there's no doubt the palette has taken the beauty world by storm, with no signs of stopping. The shadows in these sets are smooth, pigmented and come in neutral tones we can wear no matter what the occasion. The biggest downfall of the palettes is the cost; at $54 each, they're not exactly easy on a college girl's budget.

Since we care about your eyeshadow game and your wallet, here are six palettes that are just as fabulous as the Naked collection, without the high-end price tag.

1. The Nudes Palette by Maybelline ($9.99)

For $10, you can master a runway-inspired smoky eye or a neutral look for your internship with 12 easy-to-apply shades.

2. Color Riche La Palette Nude 1 by L’Oréal ($19.99)

As if the sleek packaging isn’t enough to draw you in, the long-lasting and pigmented shadows in this palette will allow you to create an endless variety of looks.

3. Nude Rose 12 Color Eyeshadow Palette by BH Cosmetics ($9.50)

Just like the Naked palettes, the shadows in this set come in multiple different finishes: satin, matte and shimmer. It’s also vegan, paraben-free and allergy tested.

4. The Natural Shadow Palette by NYX Cosmetics ($7.50)

This six-color collection allows you to go natural or dramatic. Worn alone, blended together or used as a base for colorful eyeshadows, there is plenty of variation in this palette.

5. Individual Eyes Compact in Smokey Blues by NYC ($4.50)

The packaging on this palette says it’s for gals with blue eyes, but anyone can use it, since the silky powder neutrals work well with any eye color. An added bonus? The shadows are comparable dupes for three Naked shades: Half-Baked, Smog and Darkhorse.

6. NUDE ‘tude Nude Eyeshadow Palette by theBalm Cosmetics ($36)

The most expensive of the bunch, this palette is still cheaper than the Naked palettes by $18. Inside, you’ll find a beautiful set of 12 neutrals with names that bring out your inner sassy girl emoji: Snobby, Sultry, Silly, Sleek and Sophisticated, just to name a few.
