10 Struggles All Girls With Curly Hair Know To Be True

Having curly hair can be a blessing, but more often than not, it can be a pretty big curse. Here are 10 struggles that you have definitely faced on a daily basis if you have curly hair.

1. The bedhead is unreal.

When I say I look like a monster in the morning, I mean it. My hair is always sticking up in random directions, and the dream of waking up looking like a graceful and normal person is long gone.

2. Combing your hair is an impossible mission.

People always gaze upon me with looks of absolute horror when I tell them I rarely comb my hair, and when I do, I comb it when it's wet after a shower. Trying to comb the knots out of dry, curly hair is an excruciating experience and you truly don't know pain until you've gone through it!

3. When you're styling it you never know how it's going to turn out.

Is it going to turn out glamorously or like a giant frizz ball? Who knows! Styling curly hair is always a guessing game, and if things go astray, the only way to fix it is to take another shower.

4. "How do you make it get so curly?"

Believe it or not, the only thing I do is take a shower and (like magic) my hair turns curly. Crazy how that works, huh?

5.The frizz, Dear God, the frizz!!

Catch me always having a ponytail holder on my wrist because there is a 100% guarantee my hair will frizz at some point during the day. Frizzy hair is also the number one reason why I hate summer so much--the humidity actually poofs my hair to levels I never thought it could reach.

6. You always hear questions about if you wish you had straight hair.

No, I don't. It's not nearly as fun and I look bizarre with it (although I do admit I sometimes get a little jealous of how great girls with straight hair have it).

7. People think it's okay to touch your hair without asking.

Stop pulling on my ringlets! I remember in high school my gym teacher would randomly come up to me and start running her hands through my hair and tell me how much she loved it--and as much as I love compliments, please, if you want to touch my hair don't be weird about it and just ask!

8. You'll never finish a bottle of shampoo before you finish at least 3 bottles of conditioner.

I got knots for days, which means I need more than a "dime size" amount of conditioner. It's a curse that my wallet can't handle.

9. You want me to blow dry my hair? That's hilarious.

Other girls can blow dry their hair and then just move on with their day with their fabulous hair. Girls with curly hair cannot use a blowdryer unless they are doing it with the sole intention of looking like a circus clown.

10. You have to live with the fact that you have the most amazing hair in the world.

Yeah, I guess this isn't really a struggle. Honestly though, as difficult as curly hair may be, I would never give it up because it's what makes me who I am and it's truly one of the best hairstyles out there.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
