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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
