The week leading up to my graduation and my graduation weekend honestly went by so fast. Even though I still cannot believe that I am officially done with high school, I decided to let you in on the things that they don't tell you about high school.

 

 

 

-Everyone tells you that senior year just flies by... WRONG. If you're like me, then senior year won't seem like it's flying by until it's pretty much over.

 

-Senior year can be pretty stressful. SAT's, ACT's, college applications... need I say more?

 

-Procrastination will be your worst enemy. If you haven't figured that out yet in high school, then trust me. The extra stress is not necessary.

 

-Apply to more than one college. You might have that one particular school that you've been thinking about going to since you were a little kid... Yes, you should apply to that school, but also apply to other college because you never know what could happen. Again, trust me on this one...

 

-Make sure you have a good relationship with your teachers. Some scholarships and honor programs require you to have a teacher's recommendation; sometimes one, sometimes more than one.

 

-Remember those things called emails? After applying for colleges, most universities will contact you about your admission status or any other information that you need to turn in. In other words, check your emails.

 

-Every final moment will either be your happiest or your saddest. Your last first day of school, last football game, last homecoming, etc. Don't spend too much time being sad that it's your last. Spend that time living in the moment and making worthwhile memories.

 

-Find out what you want to study in college. Knowing what you want to study and where you want to go to college will be very helpful your senior year. First off, they can announce it at your graduation when you walk across the stage to get your diploma (or at least they did at my school). Secondly, it will save you money in college. If you don't declare a major right away, it can cause you to take classes that you don't really need. Wasted time and wasted effort. With that being said, don't force yourself into a major.

 

 

Hope you find these tips helpful! Good luck on your senior year and congratulations. (:

A little while ago, I received the Uni VoxBox from Influenster. Normally, I do unboxing videos on my YouTube channel. For this one, I decided to do something different. I received the box, tested out the products, and decided to give reviews on them all in one blog post.

The Claims:

"Ready to take your lips to the next level? Try our NEW Expert Last Lip Color in twenty tantalizing shades. Get intense amplified color and shine that last up to 6 hours! Our moisturizing formula glides on easily for a silky, smooth, velvety finish for all day wear."

The Facts:

-This product retails for $1.99 at drugstores.

-This lip product does last for a longer time than most of my other lip products.

-This lip product glides on smoothly.

-This lip product has a pretty nice collection of shades.

The Truth:

-The longer I wore this lip product, the more it dried out my lips.

-It was moisturizing for about an hour.

-When this product wears off, it leaves a stain on your lips. All you would need to do is apply a gloss after a few hours and keep rocking the same color.

Final Opinions:

Definitely do not apply this product to dry lips or else you might end up miserable. I would skip this product if your lips dry out very easily.
