Having curly hair can be a blessing and a curse. There's days when you love it and days when you want to chop it off. These are some of the struggles curly haired people have to deal with on a daily basis:

Curly hair is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're going to get.

Sometimes you wake up and it's in the same state it was in last night. Other days you're wondering what the hell happened to it, and how did its form change. The wind and humidity also has a dramatic effect on your hair. It can go from nice, bouncy curls to looking like a giant poof ball in seconds.


People sometimes ask you if your hair is real.

Yes, my hair is real. No, you cannot touch it.

They also ask why you don't brush it.

If you've never seen someone brush their curly hair, ask them to try it. You're in for a good laugh.

You're always asking other curly haired girls what hair products they use.

After a while, curly hair just won't style with the products you've used for years, so you're always asking for other recommended products to maintain the poof.

You always want to straighten your hair.

Let's face it - even though it can take a few hours to straighten your hair, it's so much easier to maintain that way.

People always say "I wish I had your hair".

Sure, take it! Let me know when it starts getting hard to deal with and you want to give it back.

Haircuts are tough.

If you cut the slightest bit off, it can drastically change the shrinkage of your hair.

And so are hairstyles.

Have you ever tried braiding curly hair? It's pretty darn difficult! If you notice girls with curly hair, they mostly have it down because trying other hairstyles is almost impossible.

You wouldn't trade your curly hair for the world.

Through the pain and suffering of having curly hair, you love your bouncy and voluminous hair and wouldn't trade it for anything else.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

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.
