How the heck do I style these things?

8 Things You'll Understand If You Are A Girl With Bangs And Not In Kindergarten

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.

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
