9 Things Every Girl With Long Hair Understands

Beautiful long hair, like everything, comes at a cost. If you have long hair, I'm sure you encounter these struggles on a daily basis!

1. Your neck hurts while washing your hair.

Hair is heavy and when it comes time to wash it, you dread it. Tilting your head back to rinse out your shampoo is an extra workout in itself for your neck.

2. It gets caught...EVERYWHERE!

Whether its on the chairs at school, or in the car window, or even in your armpits

(Weird but true) your hair ends up literally everywhere.

3. Messy buns are not a thing.

With so much hair, its impossible to create a cute messy bun. Anytime you make a bun, it ends up consuming your entire head and is nowhere near the cute little buns that so many other girls sport.

4. The gym is the worst place for your hair.

I go to the gym on a daily basis and every day I struggle with what to do with my hair. No, this is not because I'm trying to look cute. Instead, I'm trying to find the best way for my hair to not stick to me with all my sweat or get in my face during a workout.

5. The heat is not your friend either.

When it's hot outside, all you ever want to do is put your hair up because it's just too hot with it all lying on your back. Unfortunately, #3 of this list also applies here. And don't even get me started on the frizz. So the heat is the literal worst.

6. You sometimes sit on it.

If you have really long hair like me, you sometimes accidentally sit on your own hair. This makes it really interesting when you need to use the restroom (Thank you to hair ties for making our lives easier!).

7. Speaking of hair ties, you need at least two to make sure your hair stays.

Most people with long hair typically have thick hair too. Because of this, there is no way one hair tie can hold all of that in a ponytail. So break out the hair ties, ladies!

8. Everyone always wants to touch your hair.

You always get compliments on your hair. While those are great, the worst part is that people try to touch it... NEVER TOUCH A GIRL'S HAIR.

9. You love your hair.

No matter how much pain and trouble your hair puts you through, you love it regardless and would cry if you ever had to cut it off.

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.
