10 Things You Deal With As A Blonde

The blonder, the better. This has been my life motto throughout all 21 years of life. I was blessed to be born with blond hair, and have spent an unreal amount of time and money on keeping it that way. It's a blessing and a curse all in it's own. But to be honest, I wouldn't have my hair any other way.

1. Brown Hair = Death

I can honestly say I rather find a gray piece of hair on my head than a dark brown strand. It's impossible for me to not immediately remove the cursed dark hair from my head. After I find one, a spend an hour searching my whole head for any others. I start stressing about how much longer until my next dye session and try to forget this ever happened.

2. Blonde Jokes

Ugh. If I had a dollar for every time I heard one of these jokes I would be one rich, blond babe. I have no idea why everything thinks it's socially acceptable to tell a blonde jokes about being dumb—but somehow people haven't gotten the memo it's not cool.

3. "Barbie"

Please stop referring to blond girls as Barbie. I am not Barbie, and neither is any other blonde you encounter. Barbie is a doll, and I am a living, breathing person. It's time to realize the difference and accept that a hair color does not give you the green light for referring to me by a doll. Unless you want all blondes calling brunettes by Barbie's basic brown haired friend Teresa.

4. Darker for Winter Trend

There is nothing wrong with being blond in the winter. It's as simple as that. Where does it say blond hair is only for summer and that dark hair is necessary to be trendy during the winter?

5. Purple Hair Products

Blond girls understand the obsession with purple hair products. It's a stable in every blonde's hair routine. It keeps your hair from looking too yellow toned and more of that beautiful blond everyone loves. All hell breaks loose when you're out of your purple shampoo.

6. Stressing Over Roots

Roots are hell. It's as simple as that.

7. Must. Wash. Hair

There is no such thing as skipping showers. My brunette friend in high school used to be able to go days without showing and still got voted "Best Hair." When you're a blonde, skipping showers just isn't an option, unless you want to look like a dirty homeless person.

8. Salon Fund

You don't even want to think about everything you could do with the time and money that you spend on your hair. Every paycheck that gets deposited into your bank account, you have to think about that dreaded salon payment that is coming up. Worth it though.

9. Tan Skin

It might be a proven fact that tan skin and blond hair is the perfect combination. The countdown to sunshine and golden brown skin is on year round. It brings happiness and confidence for days to come.

10. The Interrogation

"Are you a natural blond?" or "What is your real hair color?" Um. Do you want me to ask some inappropriate questions like, "What's your weight?" No, didn't think so. There's just somethings that you don't ask and for a blonde, that is one of them.

No matter how many issues there are as a blonde, one thing is sure—we wouldn't want it any other way.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
