8 Things You'd Only Understand If You Have Curly Hair

Honestly I used to have the straightest hair until I decided to donate it to Locks of Love as a kid. Then all of a sudden, my hair became curly and I've never understood why. Needless to say, I was a 10-year-old trying to navigate the mind field that is curly hair. But after you figure out these 8 basics, it becomes a lot easier to love your hair.

1. Brushing your hair is never to be done.

When you brush your curly hair, it just frizzes and somehow gets more knots in it. After a trial and error period, you've learned that you will never brush your hair ever again. People without curly hair don't understand this but it is essential to taming the mane.

2. When someone asks you if they can touch your hair (which happens more often then you'd think).

I can't even tell you how many time someone has asked me if they can touch my hair. The answer is no. Also that's a weird question to ask someone; so for the sake of all curly haired humans, please don't ask us if you can touch our hair.

3. You have a two step daily routine:

People always ask me what I do to make my hair curly. The answer is quite simple my friends: I shower, throw some product in it, and pray.

4. Your hair has an eerie similarity to Simba's when it rains...

Humidity is a problem for everyone's hair but when you have curly hair you just tend to look like Simba.

5. You know that all hair products lie. Yes, I mean of ALL them.

All products say use a dime-sized amount but you know for a fact that is not true. Sometimes you have to use half the bottle just to look semi presentable.

6. Sometimes you lose things in it.

Bobby pins always go missing and you'll find them hours, weeks, months later.

7. And honestly, your hair taught you an important life lesson:

Let's be serious, you're hair is a constant reminder that things are out of your control. It is both a life lesson and a curse.

8. But when all is said and done, your hair is amazing and you love it (most of the time).

Yes, you have a love-hate relationship with your hair but you couldn't imagine your life with a straight head of hair. Love your curls! They are magnificent and so are you!

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.

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.
