WHYYYYYY

THE HORROR.

3. The second day of your period, in general.

‘Nuff said.

4. Doing this face when putting on mascara.

5. Panty lines = your worst enemy.

Just no.

6. The struggles of wearing a skirt on a windy day.

Not looking for a Marilyn moment here…

7. Humidity + hair = disaster.

8. Looking at Beyonce and dying a little inside.

Unfortunately, I did not wake up like dis.

9. Wanting to wear heels but then immediately wanting to take them off after 5 minutes.

Emma Shi is a freshman at Carnegie Mellon University majoring in Decision Science (so she can learn how to make a decision, hopefully) and a self-diagnosed shopaholic. Along with contributing to Her Campus, she is also on the varsity swim team and in Tartan Athelete Fellowship. Her passions include all things pink, French fries, cake, skiing, New York City, and the clearance rack. She has secret ambitions of becoming an extreme couponer or the next Lauren Conrad. Unfortunately, she doesn't have an Instagram or Twitter account, but you will most likely find her on campus keeping it classy (aka probably being awkward). 
I am a junior Materials Science and Engineering mjaor at Carnegie Mellon University, and I am also minoring in Professional Writing and Business. I am a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma.  I love TV and trying out new beauty products.  I follow E! on Twitter so that I can stay up-to-date on celebrity news.  I'm royal-obsessed, and I love Kate Middleton's style.  I'm kind of a Sephora addict, and I could easily spend hours there.  I also spend way too much time on Pinterest.  Finally, I love hockey and all Pittsburgh sports.
