Six Hairstyles For When You Don't Want To Wash Your Hair
Abby Schultz

When you're a busy college student. Sometimes washing your hair isn't as high on your priority list as you might want it to be. But fear not, because you can still look super cute and presentable even when you skip a few washes! And truth be told, you really shouldn't be washing your hair everyday anyway! It's not good for it. The oils your scalp produces are good for your hair in the long run, but they can make your hair look less than its best in the moment. These are my go-to hairstyles for when my hair is looking a little greasy.

1. Classic High Pony

You seriously can't go wrong with a high pony. This one is so easy to do when you're running late.

2. Double French Braids

Alright, I'll admit, I don't actually know how to french braid. But even if you're in the same boat as me, recruit one of your talented friends to do this for you. Offer Chipoltle as a bribe if necessary.

3. Space Buns

I absolutely love this look and I feel extra confident whenever I wear it. It may look a little intimidating, but it's really not that hard. Start with high pigtails, tease your hair a bit, then start wrapping it up into a bun and pin it!

4. Sock Bun

Listen very carefully: Do not buy one of those bun maker/hair donut things! They are a total waste of money! It's called a sock bun because you should use an actual sock! Just get a crew length sock (knee sock for a bigger bun) and cut a teeny bit of the toe off. Then roll it up into a donut shape. This is your new best friend. Don't lose it.

5. High Pigtails

Channel your inner second grader with this fun look! This style is a great way to get out of a hair rut!

6. Baseball Hat

A baseball hat is your best friend when you definitely should have washed your hair, but didn't. No one will ever be able to tell that your hair is greasy because it is being concealed by the hat! Plus they come in so many fun styles it's easy to make a statement with your baseball hat!

With these six hairstyles, you can still look cute while saving some time in your routine!

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.
