Like most girls, I have had many different seasons of life.

Some of these seasons included traumatic hair days.

Recently, I took the plunge to return to my 5-year-old hairstyle and got bangs.

Well, it turns out that unless you are a kindergartener and don't care for one second about how wild your hair looks, these bad boys could be a challenge.

Here are things that all gals with bangs know to be true.

1. When it is windy, you question if you look like a human still because your hair is all kinds of crazy.

I kid you not, I look like this dog when I walk to class in windy weather.

2. Your "just rolled out of bed look" is much more difficult to achieve.

Giphy

Unless your hair is pin-straight, you probably have some styling to do before you exit your home and enter the world around you.

3. A straightener has quickly become your new best-friend. 

Giphy

You can crimp your hair if that's more your style. However, when you have curls AND bangs, a straightener becomes a must.

4. Hairspray is now on your Target list.

Giphy

Bangs fly away if they aren't held down by this stuff. I never felt the need to buy hairspray until now.

5. You feel like your hair is a mess 25/8.

Giphy

Perhaps this is just me because I also have an abundance of curls, but I am willing to bet someone else out there can relate!

6. Your Pinterest board is filled to the brim with all the hairstyles.

Giphy

When you find a hairstyle that will work for ya', you MUST add that to your board.

7. You constantly see 5 year old's with the same haircut as you.

Giphy

So what if you are twinning with the child you babysit? All is well.

8. You regularly consider trimming them yourself.

Giphy

Let's be real, they constantly seem to be growing and then you consider breaking out the scissors (props to you if you can actually do this successfully).

At the end of the day, be confident in your ability to pull off those bangs as an adult! You are doing great. You look great. I feel your pain on the windiest of days.

8 Things I Realized After My First Semester In College

Actually, Kylie Jenner, 2018 is the year of realizing things.

Friends

The first semester of college is famous for being one of the most difficult transitions of one's young adult life. You're thrown into a completely new area where the majority of the people surrounding you are strangers in an academic environment that's much more challenging then what you've grown accustomed to for the past twelve years. On top of that, you probably share a room with another person (or even multiple people) on the lumpiest "mattress" you've ever slept on.

With this change comes a lot of questions: what do I want to major in? What am I passionate about? Is what I'm passionate about something I'm actually good at? Why does the bathroom smell like cranberry juice and vodka? What is that thing at the bottom of the shower drain?

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.
