5 Things Girls With Thick Hair Understand
Jade Alexis McEntyre

It’s no shock that people have different hair types. You go from thick to thin, curly to straight, and long to short. But for my girls who have thick hair, like me, these are relatable pictures of what our life is like while having thick hair. Here are things that we can all relate to.

1. Leaving your hair "natural".

As this sentence in itself is literally a joke, some people will actually expect us to do it. Others who don't live like we do do not understand that as soon as we step foot outside of the door and feel the humidity, our hair is not only going to grow but it is going to grow at a rapid speed and quite possibly consume the entire environment around us.

2. When you lose so much hair during a shower that it just sits all in the bathtub and consumes every inch that it can.

Showering is stressful with thick hair especially when you're at a friend's house because your hair will literally just fall out. This may seem like a good thing because hey that means less hair which means less thickness, but this is SO not true. It's like the hairs fall out and are immediately replaced causing no change to your hair at all, but causing the shower you are showing in to be filled with dead hair. It's honestly disgusting.

3. Brushing your hair is a form of working out.

If your hair isn't tangled, you think something is wrong because hair like ours is ALWAYS tangled. And brushing out these tangles takes forever and it hurts. No wonder we lose so much hair, I mean our hair so stubborn that it is literally being pulled out of our head in order to live a tangle-free life. Also, if you pull too hard, you risk breaking the brush. That's not a fun thing to do because after a while you end up spending so much money on brushes when you could be buying food.

4. Having the willpower to blow dry your hair.

This statement is a joke. Blowdrying your hair takes up a good portion of your life, but if you decide to just let your hair air dry, it takes even longer. There is no win here. You have to choice to wait hours and hours to air dry your hair or physically put effort into blowdrying your hair which takes at least an hour to do.

5. Straightening your hair to fix this problems takes up a few hour of your life that you will never get back.

To the people who are reading this and think "Oh, well then just straighten it and tame it." That's not an option unless there are hours in the day that do are not taken up by our actual life. For us ladies with hair that is thicker than any other part of our bodies, it takes a good hour and a half AT LEAST to make our hair look somewhat decent and not frizzy.

So many people don't understand what it's like to live with such huge hair and as a person who has lived like this her entire life, I can hoenstly say I wouldn't trade my thick hair for the world. After a while, you grow a bond and this bond is unbroken.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
