Anyone with curly hair knows the love/hate relationship with their curls. Whether you've always loved your curls or it's taken you years to learn to deal with, you will definitely be able to relate to these curly hair struggles.

1. Water fixes everything

Frizz, bed-head, just a rough hair day? Hop in the shower and your hair is revived and brought back to life.

2. The amount of product you use in a day is unreal

You go through conditioner like none other, and the amount of products that your curls soak up on the daily is more than the average person probably uses in a week.

3. Your are unrecognizable with straight hair

Need to avoid the paparazzi, or maybe just don't want to talk to someone? Straighten your hair! Seriously, no one will recognize you because everyone always associates you with your curls; they'll be very thrown off by the new look.

4. You don't own a brush

Brushes are a no-go. Unless you are going for that mad-scientist look, put it away!

5. Humidity is NOT your friend

The humidity may make you reminisce of balmy, summer days, but it will make your hair crazy. It is to be avoided at all costs!

6. When someone says your hair looks better straight

Um, thanks, I guess? This definitely comes off as an insult if you normally wear your hair curly. It almost feels like a personal attack at who you are at your core. If you don't like my curls, then you don't like me!

7. You've grown to love your curls

In middle school, you may have killed your curls every day, but with time, you've learned how to style your curly hair. Now it's your favorite feature!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
