Worst April Fool Pranks Ever

Happy April Fool's!

Instead of writing a list of the best April Fool's pranks, I've decided to do something a bit different and list the worst  pranks I've heard of that are either very dumb or not funny at all. Here's just a few:

1. The Classic Pregnancy Scare
This is probably one of the most common and overused pranks in the book... Ladies, please refrain from playing this prank on your boyfriend/significant other...it can really scare them (if they are clueless that it's April Fool's day or otherwise just plain gullible), and isn't really all that funny anymore since it's been so overdone. Plus, if you don't even have a boyfriend or girlfriend, will anyone actually believe you?

2. Plastic Wrap on the Toilet
Okay, this can be pretty funny, but it is very probable that whoever is the victim of this prank will make YOU clean up the mess...so if you want to avoid being absolutely disgusted and yelled at/hated by your parents/siblings/roommate, avoid this prank at all costs.

3. Anything Involving Bugs
I recently watched a horrifying video in which a guy dumped 50 crickets into the shower where his roommate was taking a shower. NEVER. Do this to anyone you actually like because I guarantee they will hate your guts for a long, long time. Personally, if I was the victim of this prank I would dump 50 spiders on the person that did this to me for revenge...trust me, you don't want to mess with the wrong person.


Hope this was funny for you guys,
don't be a gullible fool today!

Asking Alexandria - Stand Up and Scream Album Review (Top 5)

Latinmetalhead's Top 5

1. "Alerion" The first time I heard this song, I was in the library and I started unconsciously headbanging so hard that people started looking at me. Did I care?No. As the first track on the album, "Alerion" will make you want to listen to the entire album from start to finish. Starting with some electronic beats and then moving into heavy drums/guitar, the tempo switches towards the end with some nice, clean riffs and Danny Worsnop screaming, "Karma's a bitch, right?" So right.
Rating: 4/5

2. "The Final Episode (Let's Change the Channel)" I absolutely love this song. Worsnop kills the vocals and the guitar riffs are amazing. "If only he knew...If only he knew about the world without the bullshit and the lies, they could've saved him, they could've saved me..."is a great line as well not only in terms of lyric structure but in the way that Worsnop's voice stands out. I also thought the electronic/dance mix thrown in towards the end of the song was a nice touch and made for a more interesting song (which is also included in a lot of the other songs on the album). The music video is also a must-see.
Rating: 4.5/5

3. "A Prophecy"
This is one of the absolute best songs on the album, and the music video definitely captures the energy of it as well. It gives you a slight sense of hope, especially in the line: "show stubborn are the scars when they won't fade away? Or just a gentle reminder that now are better days..." Somehow I think that this song can just instantly resonant with people, and once again the vocals and riffs in this song cannot be beat.
Rating: 4.5/5

4. "A Candlelit Dinner With Inamorta"
Overall, this is a solid song with some catchy growls and vocals. I'm not a big fan of the chorus, but all songs can't be perfect. This is one of those songs for taking out your anger because of a fight in a relationship or otherwise ("What hurts the most is that you lied right to my face"). While not an amazing song, it deserves some credit, especially for the nice intro vocals.
Rating: 3/5

5. "If You Can't Ride Two Horses at Once...You Should Get Out of the Circus "
With the gradual changing tempo and electronic bits thrown in, this song basically defines the band's style on this album. What is great about this song, like others, is that it is so unpredictable when you hear it for the first time, but it just makes you want to listen to it over again to be able to sing along to lyrics like "I was made to make you smile." Around 2 and a half minutes into the song, it almost seems like it's a different song as the tempo slows down, but it really complements the first part of the song. In general, a really decent song.
Rating: 4/5
I hope this review was insightful, more coming soon!

Happy Easter!

I hope everyone's having a great Easter and that there's great weather wherever you are. I love this time of year because you can tell that spring is beginning to go in to full bloom. Although there's still snow here, it's a nice 45 degrees and I'm just glad I don't have to wear five layers everytime I go outside. I also recently saw an awesome April Fool's prank on the internet using leftover easter eggs:
Simply melt some chocolate in a pan on the stove, and cover an egg in the mixture, leaving it to cool so it hardens a little. Then, take a chocolate Cadbury egg wrappers and wrap it around the egg so it looks like a brand new candy. When the unsuspecting person opens the treat, they'll get a mushy egg!
For more April Fools tricks, stay tuned!

Simple make-up tips

Hey guys,

I wanted to share some handy eye makeup tips I've learned from a friend and over the years of doing makeup myself. Here are a few:

1. Notecard Mascara Trick
To apply your mascara all the way to the tips of your eyelashes without getting mascara on your eyelids, place a notecard (or business card) above your eyelid (over your eyebrow) and wiggle the wand up to the tips of your eyelashes against the notecard so all the mascara comes off on the notecard and not on your eyelids.

2. Perfect Winged Liner Tip
To get the perfect winged liner, take a piece of tape and put it just below your water line on your undereye area at 45 degrees. Then, simply drag the liquid liner to the outer corner of your eye, using the tape as a straightedge to keep the line nice and crisp.

3. Clean Eyeshadow Trick

When applying eyeshadow, keep a piece of tissue underneath your waterline in the undereye area to prevent your eyeshadow powder from getting on your cheeks or under the eyes.

4. Eye Brightener/Enlarger Trick
To brighten up your eyes after pulling an all-nighter, after applying a peach-toned concealer, apply a small amount of white eyeshadow to the inner corners of your eyes. This will make your eyes pop and you'll look more awake. Applying white eyeshadow just underneath your brows also gives you some highlight and defines your browbones, making your eyes appear slightly larger.

I hope these clever tricks work well for you guys, more coming soon!

Things I Hate About Everyone

Here's a few things I hate about everyone/pet peeves:

1. People who don't answer their phone.

I'm sure we all have that one friend (or boyfriend/girlfriend) who, for some reason, constantly refuses to answer their phone calls/texts in a reasonable time and manner, and ends up texting you back hours or even days later, especially when you urgently need to contact them. It's fine if they don't text you back right away, but when you know they have their phone on them and they just don't respond, it gets frustrating.

2. People who constantly have the sniffles.

I absolutely hate it when you're at the library or in class, and the person sitting next to you has a cold and they're making obnoxious sounds when you're trying to concentrate. Is it really that hard to get up and get a tissue? Come on, people.

3. People who litter.

For some reason, I always cringe when I see someone throw a wrapper on the ground when there is a perfectly nice trash can less than ten feet away from them. Seriously people? The world is not your garbage can and you are making the place in which you're littering look trashy and cheap. I understand that sometimes you may eat a piece of gum and not be close enough to a trash can to throw the wrapper away, but it's really not that hard to simply stick it in your pocket or backpack and throw it away later.

4. Drunk jerks at parties/in college

I have noticed throughout the years in college that a surprising amount of men (and women) can become complete jerks after they've had a couple drinks in their system, and they automatically assume that the world is theirs for the taking and that they can get with anyone they please. Just because you're drunk does not give you the excuse to be rude or sexually harass anyone, and it's actually a big turn-off. 

5. People who constantly check their phone when you're eating or talking with them.

This is probably one of my biggest pet peeves. Whether you're eating dinner with someone (as a couple or as friends), or talking to them one-on-one, it is very rude and annoying when they're constantly checking their phone or texting. This makes it seem like they do not care at all about what you are saying or about spending time with you, and that they'd rather be somewhere else. It's better to not even hang out with the person in the first place if you know you're going to be bored or not listening.

Those are just some of my top pet peeves, stay tuned for more!

Maybelline Falsies Mascara Review

Hi all!
Here's a brief review of the Maybelline Falsies "Volum Express" mascara.

Overall, I really like this mascara because it truly does work wonders on your eyelashes and leaves them looking much longer and fuller. I also like the curved shape of the wand brush, because it allows you to apply the product more evenly and on the outer and bottom eyelashes as well. The small bristles on the brush also help separate the individual lashes to avoid clumping. The only thing I would say about it is that it can get a little messy during the application, and it is not waterproof so it can smudge and smear easily. Besides that, I love this product and I hope you all try it!

Overall rating: 8.5/10

My Crazy Adventure

Today, I went on the longest walk/run of my life all the way around Lake Monona in Madison. My friend and I were trying to get some exercise in since it was such a nice day outside, but what seemed like a short run by the lake turned into walking for hours on end and ending up in the city of Monona on the other side of the lake. When we first started out running, it was such a nice day outside that we didn't realize how far away from the house we were actually running, until we reached a sign that read: "Welcome to the city of Monona." At that point, we knew we had gone way too far.
As we looked out towards the lake, the Capitol and the city of Madison looked tiny and extremely far away. Lucky for us, however, the lake was frozen and we contemplated walking straight across it back to Madison. It wasn't until we had walked for another half an hour, however, that I actually agreed to walk across it because I feared the ice was too thin and we would fall through into the icy cold water. But we walked all the way across it anyway, and to my surprise, we hardly ever touched the water.
After another hour of tiptoeing across the snow-covered ice, we finally made it back to land (or, civilization, as I called it), and we were so happy. After that, I vowed never ever walk that far again.
Hope you enjoyed the little story :)
