5 Problems Only Girls With Long Hair Will Understand

The struggle is too real.

Having long hair is one of those things that looks great from a far, but when you actually have to deal with it on a daily basis, it makes you wish you were bald sometimes.

1. Your hair gets everywhere

It's not our fault, okay. If we even move an inch from our current position, our hair sheds as if we were a golden retriever. We have no control over it! On behalf of all girls with long hair, I apologize. If you are friends with us you will find our hair most definitely in your room and if your dating us… well you are probably used to it by now.

2. One hair tie is a joke


Having long hair means that when someone offers you a hair tie, if it isn’t a thick black one, they might as well have offered your air. This is because those really thin hair ties do nothing for us. They might help us temporarily but in the long run, they don’t hold a chance against the thickness of our hair

3. Looking good takes time

Styling my hair takes time! Please do not except my hair to miraculously become straightened or curled in 20 minutes. I need at least one hour to prep and time to style it so that it is not all in my face. Further, don’t expect me to be able to quickly change between hairstyles; we are girls, not magicians.

4. Wind is my worst enemy

Sometimes all a girl wants is to have her hair free. But this small desire is impossible when mother nature decides to be windy. The wind makes my hair go all over the place and I can barely see. This brings me back to my second problem because without a doubt whenever it is windy, I will only have one of those useless thin hair ties. The struggle is too real

5. Making out has to be strategic

Now I’m going to be very real. I have a lot of hair and sometimes my boyfriend wants to catch me off guard and be all cute and kiss me. BE WARNED. There is a 75% he will get a mouth full of hair. And don’t even bring up kissing when it's windy outside!

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.
