Thick Hair

In This Article:

As a girl who's grown up with thick hair, I know the struggle! There are just some things that girls with thin hair just won't be able to understand.

All the repeated comments from hair stylists, having to explain what thinning your hair is, and people constantly wanting to just run their hands through it! Those are just a few extra that I didn't even include in this list!

Who knew hair could cause so many problems. At the end of the day, we come to have a love-hate relationship our thick hair but there are times we just feel like cutting it all off! But short hair tends to not work either...so it's a struggle.

1. You have to wake up earlier than anyone else.

Giphy

If you want your hair to look nice for the day, be prepared to allow a hour or more on it in the morning.

2. If you shower and put your hair in a bun in the morning, by nighttime... it’s still wet.

It's hard to avoid when you're in a hurry! Showering then throwing it up to avoid having to deal with it until later always seems like an easy solution. But when night comes and you take it out, be prepared for a tangled wet mess.

3. You always run out of conditioner before shampoo...

Giphy

Not to mention how much money you spend on that crap to get a thorough wash!

4. Blow drying takes fricking forever...

Giphy

There's really no winning when it comes to drying your hair. It takes forever to blowdry it and by the time you finish you feel like taking another shower cause you're all sweaty!

5. Your hair ain’t got time for no cute hair styles.

Giphy

Cute Pinterest hair dos? Nope.

6. French braiding is a work out...

Giphy

It's always better to have someone else french braid your hair because if you do it, halfway through your arms are sore! Then you have to debate whether or not to give up and give your arms a break.

7. Your hair is so heavy sometimes it gives you a headache.

Giphy

When you finally get your ponytail in just the way you want it, you have to take it down cause its so damn heavy!

8. At any given moment, hair will fly into your mouth/face...

media.giphy.com

Windy days are one of your worst enemies, theres no taming it after a nice gust of wind.

9. If you want to go to a salon, you need to allow about four or more hours.

media.giphy.com

You've just got so much hair it'll take forever to style it! Even for a professional.

10. Brushing your hair is a nightmare...

Giphy

So many knots... you just become immune to the yanking and pulling!

11. Humidity = bad hair day.

media.giphy.com

Humidity...another worst enemy it just makes your day so much worse.

12. Your hair eats bobby pins.

media.giphy.com

I've owned 500+ bobby pins in my life...I have one left.

13. You shed more than a cat.

media.giphy.com

Running your fingers through your hair isn't usually the best thing to do in the first place, but when you do, don't be surprised when you find loads of loose hairs falling out.

14. There’s been many a broken hair brush in your life.

media.giphy.com

Trying to yank those knots out have cost you many a hair brush.

15. All the ads you get are probably for some sort of drain cleaner

media.giphy.com

Theres just so much hair!

16. Drying your hair naturally takes forever...

Giphy

Brushing your hair an hour after your shower and it's still wet! Come on!

17. Cutting your hair short isn’t a good idea either.

google

It always ends up being shorter than planned, especially in the humidity!

18. You're constantly brushing!

media.giphy.com

In attempt to avoid knots, you've always got to brush...

19. Curling your hair takes up half your day.

google

By the time you finish, the side you curled first is already loose! Not to mention, you still miss a huge clump cause it was hidden by the curls!

20. You regularly break hair elastics.

media.giphy.com

Another thing to continously spend money on... those things just can't handle your hair!

21. Sometimes it feels like your hair is out to kill you!

Google

It's everywhere! And if it's long enough, you'll find it tangled around your throat in the morning if you don't put it up before bed.

22. So much sweat in the summer...

media.giphy.com

It's the worst when you wear it down and find it sticking to your arm pits and back...

23. Never ending knots!

media.giphy.com

No matter how much you seem to brush, theres always a hidden knot.

24. Low water pressure makes you want to cry...

media.giphy.com

It takes forever just to get your hair wet!

25. Travel shampoo is laughable — that will last you one wash...if that.

media.giphy.com

It's such a pain to have to bring your own shampoo and conditioner on vacation, but hotels just never provide enough for your lucious locks.

6 Unrealistic Expectations Society Has For Young Adults

Don't let the thesaurus-inspired vocabularies in our résumés fool you. We're actually just big kids.

Well over four feet tall and 100 pounds in weight, many of us "young adults" of the world still consider ourselves children. Big, working, college-attending, beer-drinking children. We may live on our own, know how to cook noodles, and occasionally use a planner, but don't be fooled; the youthful tendencies that reside within us still make their way into our daily lives. From choosing to stay up until 3:00 a.m. playing video games on a school night to going out in 30 degree weather without a coat, we still make decisions that our parents and grandparents would shake their heads at in disappointment. So why are we expected to know exactly how to be a wise, professional, sensible adult? It's not that we're irresponsible (for the most part, anyway). It's that we are young, inexperienced, and still have the sought-after, enthusiastic mentality that we can do and be whatever we want, which has not yet been tarnished by the reality of the world. These are just a few of the unrealistic expectations that society has for young adults.

pizza
Fandango

There are a lot of foods in this world, but there is only one dish that stands above the rest: Pizza. If you're close to me or at least know who I am, then you know that I'm totally obsessed with pizza. It's one of my favorite things to eat and I will NEVER turn down a slice, even if it doesn't have my favorite toppings. There isn't a day that goes by where I'm not thinking about pizza. I even sleep with a pizza pillow every night! There are many reasons why pizza stands above all other foods, and here are just a couple reasons why.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.
