Of course there are many, many more struggles we long-haired girls face, but here are 9 of them! Have you experienced any of these struggles?


1. Hair gets all over your food

If you lean in just a little into the table to grab a napkin or the salt shaker, your hair manages to take a bath in your plate of food.


2. Hair EVERYWHERE

On the bathroom floor, all over your room, on your desk, in your face... literally anywhere you are, hair always manages to find a home.


3. You constantly flip hair into people's faces

Sometimes, you just forget that you have long hair so you accidentally flip it into stranger's and friend's faces.

4. Knots and Tangles!

Long hair + knots = nightmare! Not only is your hair so long, but if it's all tangled up, it's almost impossible to un-tangle it out without losing so much hair.


5. Long hair + open windows? A big no-no.


When you have long hair, and you're in a car with open windows, it's not a pretty sight. All those movies where the girl character is in a open window car with perfect hair? Nuh-uh, it's a lie.


6. Curling, straightening, or using any type of hair tool takes FOREVER.

Long hair = so much time in making it look good. It can take hours to curl it perfectly or straighten EVERY. SINGLE. STRAND.


7. Drying takes forever.

When you don't dry your hair thoroughly after your night shower and just go straight to bed? The next morning, your hair is STILL wet.


8. Having to carry a hairband at all times.

Honestly, is there ever a time you don't have hairband around your wrist? You're constantly putting your hair up because it keeps getting in your face.


9. Constantly restocking shampoo and conditioner

Shampoo and conditioner doesn't even last you a month and a half. Actually, correction: conditioner doesn't even last you a full month.


The one good thing about having long hair?

You can donate it for those in need. If you're in need of a haircut and feel like doing good, donate your hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. They create wigs from donated hair for cancer patients. Pantene gives the wigs to the patients for free through the American Cancer Society. So, if you're feeling generous, donate your hair!

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.
