Some girls are gifted with the ability to do hair well. Others are just lucky and can whip their hair up in a bun like it is no problem. I am neither of these girls. I am the girl who spends a minimum of 10 to 15 minutes in the mirror trying to get my “messy bun”-look perfect. I am sure that I am not alone in the struggle to master the look of the perfect “messy bun,” though, and here's why:

1. You have too much hair

There's just way too much of it to possibly put it in a bun and have it stay there for the entire day.

2. You don't have enough hair


You can't seem to remember why you ever thought cutting your hair was a good thing. You start to question if you even have enough hair to put it up in a bun!

3. You have thick hair


Girls with thin hair can't even begin to understand this struggle.

4. You missed a whole chunk of hair


You put your hair up in a bun only to realize that you missed a big chunk and half of it is actually still down.

5. You already broke your hair tie


The worst feeling is hearing that snap and seeing that your hair tie broke and now you have to start from scratch all over again.

6. You can't get it to look like the YouTube tutorial


You swear that you did everything the girl in the YouTube tutorial told you to do to make your perfect messy bun, yet her's looks amazing and yours ... does not.

7. You see too many bumps


There're too many bumps to go out in public with your hair looking like this.

8. You make it too pointy, too lumpy — it's just not right


Now you're just getting frustrated with yourself and wondering how you cannot grasp this concept.

We all understand the struggle of trying to master that perfect "messy bun"-look. If you are like me, though, and understand many of these struggles, try using some of these links to help make your process of making a "messy bun" a little easier! I have found some to be extremely helpful! Good luck!

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.
