The Struggle Of The Weave Life

Every girl goes through some sort of pain with their hair. Weather it is poofy, flat, etc. but no hair pain is like the one of a girl with a wave. Not just any wave though... The clip in extensions. These struggles of the wave life is an everyday thing and it is exhausting. But, it's all worth it to look flawless.

1. Putting them in and taking them out


This is definitely the worst part of clip in extensions. Waking up extra early to put in your hair just so at the end of the day you can take it out.

2. Getting them wet


No swimming, water, or anything of the sort is allowed like at all. That includes washing them! Extensions and weaves are not like normal hair, so the moment you get them suckers wet is the day you regret life.

3. Blending


This is the most important thing about extensions. You must blend them! Like 90% of girls with weaves or extensions forget this part and it literally gives no point in wearing them.

4. Tracks


This is another important thing about extensions or weaves, DONT LET YOUR TRACKS SHOW. This is the thought that goes through my head all day everyday I'm constantly making sure they are covered and are fully hidden. Also, these things get itchy you can't scratch it though, you've gotta pat that shit.

5. Styling


This is sometimes so difficult to do. Braids are like near impossible to do. Curling and straightening are the go to things. Just be careful when you're doing it!

One the bright side along with all of the struggles I still got that long hair flow at the end of the day.

Sorority

I remember my freshman year oh so well. I remember feeling terrified the night before orientation. The one thing that I dreaded the most was not the new people, the new environment, or even the academic pressure. I was dreading having to talk to sorority girls about Recruitment. I remember cutting off and avoiding any Rho Gamma/Panhellenic Officer that came my way during First Week. I looked at them like they had asked me to cut my arm off whenever they asked me if I wanted to rush. To be honest, I did not even know what rush was, but I knew that I did NOT want to be a part of it. To me, it was dumb. It was a waste of money. It was a waste of my time.

And guess what? I did not rush my freshman year. I spent the first half of my freshman year isolating myself from everyone on campus. I spent all of my time in the library, and then (since I was a commuter) went back home once my work was finished.

Tiana would no doubt be disappointed in the food our cafeteria has to offer.

And hopefully she would cook for everyone in her dorm.

She definitley would not take any 8:00 am classes because she would be up late baking and cleaning up the communal kitchen that are available in every dorm.
