Long hair, don't care!

Well, most of the time anyways. There's no denying that having long hair has its perks, but it also has its setbacks. It seems like for each styling option available, we're faced with another complication. Whether your long mane be curly, wavy, frizzy, or straight, we can all band together and agree that the on-taking of long hair is a full time job.

1. Every time you style, it's arm day.

Forget the gym on the days you have to style your hair. Whether you blow-dry or curl your hair, you better believe those arms are still getting their workout.


2. Shedding.

When you have long hair, hearing the phrase, "Ew, I have your hair all over me," is quite common. Believe us, if we could control it, we would!


3. Eating your own hair.

How did it even get in there? The amount of times I've pulled a spaghetti length hair out of my mouth while eating is just unfortunate. It's something I don't wish on even my worst enemy.

4. Mistaking a hair ball for a spider.

Yes, believe it or not, this happens! Panic can easily overcome you when you unsuspectingly stroll into your bathroom, and out of nowhere is a little clump. Naturally, you can only assume it's some insect plotting its attack.Only under closer speculation, it's just a ball of your hair.


5. Trying to be cute on a windy day.

Nothing is more disappointing than the hour you just spent on your hair going to waste. On a windy day you don't stand a chance when your hair turns into a weapon and assaults your face.

6. Achieving the perfect, hairless kiss.

Nothing is more frustrating than trying to get that late night kiss and your hair deciding it wants in on the action. You can try to regroup and get it out of your face, but you risk losing the, "moment." It's kiss or be kissed.


7. Getting your hair caught in anything and everything.

When you have long hair it's not a matter of when you'll get your hair caught, but in what it will get caught. It can be a bracelet, to a school desk, to a car door, or even a school locker. It can happen at the most inconvenient of times and definitely never feels good.


8. Not wanting to move when you achieve hair perfection.

Once you've reached the peak style of you hair, you become as stiff as a barbie. You know one wrong move will ruin all your hard-work. So continue to look fierce, even if you can barely move an inch.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
