I have had naturally super curly hair for my entire life. As most curly haired people do, I have a love-hate relationship with my hair. Back in middle school it was mostly a hate relationship. But now, as an almost-20 year old, I definitely have more love for my curls. However, there are still some moments when I wish I had more manageable hair. Here are just a few of those moments...and I'm sure you can relate if you're a fellow curly head.

1.  People ask to touch your hair all the time

Maybe it is just because I've grown so used to what I was born with, but I don't think I will ever understand the fascination people have when they see my hair. It's as if no one else in the world has curls.

2.  You always replace the shampoo and conditioner at different times

I'm still waiting for the day I run out of both at the same time.

3. Putting your hair up is a serious commitment.

Once you put your hair into a bun or ponytail, you only have 5 minutes to change your mind before it molds itself into a whole new shape.

4. No product=frizz

I don't think I have ever gone anywhere important without product in my hair. Actually, now that I am thinking about it, I don't think I ever go anywhere without hair product. My hair would literally just be frizz. You wouldn't even be able to tell it's curly.

5.  Too much product=crunchy hair

It's literally the worst. You have to learn the perfect amount of gel/mousse to use because too little leaves you with frizz and too much leaves you feeling crunchy.

6.  You can’t brush it while it’s dry

And if you do, you better be planning on getting in the shower right after

7. You are scared of haircuts

You're always afraid that the hair stylist cuts too much off and you end up with a much fluffier hairstyle than you started with.

8. You complain all the time but you would never trade it

Yes--curly hair can be difficult to manage. But at the same time, you would never trade it for anything else.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
