Let's talk about hair. It can be short, long, put up, styled, straight or curly. The possibilities are endless. I have long, coarse hair. It is wavy and on the thicker side. My hair has always been a struggle. It has been long for the majority of my life. I have had it cut short twice in the eighteen years I've been alive.

I typically get stuck to one or two hairstyles. I usually go for a ponytail or messy bun, but over the past few months, I've been wearing it down more often. I'm too lazy to straighten or curl it. I would braid it, but I don't know how to do anything else other than a simple three-strand, side braid.

I just have too much of it to deal with it, resulting in basic styles. I don't know if I'm just lazy, or if long hair is a problem. Here are a few problems that come with having long hair.

1. One word: shedding

Shedding is the worst part of having long hair. I have found hairs literally everywhere. I hate getting out of the shower and feel a hair on my leg or back, but to know where it really is.

2. It can get heavy

It really is a shame. I love my ponytails high, but in order to keep them high, the ponytail needs to be extra tight, giving me a headache. I have a headache from my ponytail right now.

3. It always gets tangled

No matter how much I cut off the ends, my hair ends up tangled and knotted. I could brush it thoroughly and five minutes later it can get tangled.

4. It gets caught on everything

It gets caught on my earrings, nails, chairs, clothing racks, rings, and watches. You get the picture.

All in all, I love my hair. I may have good days and bad days, but I will probably never cut it all off.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

If you’re anything like me, you love a good cup of coffee. My coffee always comes from Starbucks; I refuse to drink it from anywhere else. Over the years, it’s become one of my biggest addictions.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.
