12 Curly Hair Problems As Told By Princess Merida

I used to hate my naturally curly hair when I was little. I thought it was weird, frizzy, and the other kids would try to pull it to make the curls bounce. So for ten years, I straightened my hair every single day. Fast forward to my freshman year of high school when I chopped my hair off and it suddenly started curling again and I decided just to leave it. I realize now, that curly hair is different and weird, but it's beautiful. No one says that more than Princess Merida, my own personal curly hair style icon.

1. "OMG, is that your natural hair?"

No, I actually have the time and energy to sit there for hours and curl my hair to make it look like this. Of course, it's my natural hair.

2. When Random People Try To Pet Your Curls

No, no. The hair is for looking, not for touching. The minute you start to touch it is the minute it starts to frizz, and it's a downward slope from there.

3. The Humidity Causes Your Hair To Be Bigger Than Your Head

It's a fact of life. Your curls have a mind of their own and will continue to grow until you get out of said humid area. Sometimes you just give up and let them grow.

4. "How Do You Do Your Hair?"

I literally just wet it. Wet it, wash it, use a gallon of conditioner and all is well.

5. When You Run Out Of Conditioner... Again.

You have to keep the curls happy and shiny, so feeding them a gallon of conditioner is the only way. If only your bank wanted your curls to be that happy.

6. Hair In Your Face? Good Luck Dealing With Bobby Pins.

Nothing can hold your curls back. There is no taming them, just letting them be is all you can do.

7. Once You Pick A Style For The Day There's No Going Back

Messy bun? You're done for the day, try tomorrow. Ponytail? Take it down and get ready for the frizz. Braids? Good luck getting those knots out.

8. When Someone Starts Coming At You With A Brush

You know a storm of frizz is just waiting to happen once that brush touches your hair. May the odds be ever in your favor.

9. Knots. Knots Everywhere.

You know that game, "The Impossible Knot"? Well, if that game were a thing on a body, it would be your hair. Good luck getting those out without any pain, tears, and a lot of time on your hands.

10. "You Should Straighten Your Hair More Often."

Yeah like I have the time and energy for that two-hour experience.

11. When Someone With Straight Or Wavy Hair Complains About Their Hair.

Girl, you're preaching to the wrong choir. Try dealing with this mane for a weak.

12. But Never Forget How Beautiful Your Curls Are.

Your curls are different, your curls are beautiful, your curls are part of what makes you, you. You are a princess, crowned in your curls, and you better not ever forget it.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
