We get it. We will never understand having to wake up early to straighten our hair, or to not be able to brush our hair, or have to put product in our hair to maintain it. But having naturally straight hair isn't always as amazing as it seems.

1. Not being able to curl our hair

Whenever I curl my hair, it becomes straight again within an hour. No matter how much hairspray I put in it. Spending two hours on your hair just for it to be ruined in ten minutes is heart breaking

2. Messy buns are not simple

I've watched people with curly hair twist their hair, throw it in a bun, and have it stay on their head the entire day. When I try to do a messy bun, I need 20 bobby pins, 4 clips, and an hour to make it look presentable.

3. Lack of volume

Sometimes we get envious when we see all of these girls with beautiful voluminous curls, and we can't get our hair to get any volume at all

4. Getting told we're lucky

Every time we get asked if our hair is naturally straight, we get told we're lucky. But, we're not as lucky as you may think. Straight hair gets boring after a while.

5. Not being able to put accessories in your hair

Whenever I try to put a hair accessory in my hair, it ends up either falling out or not looking good.

6. The smell of your burnt hair after you try to curl it

When you attempt to curl your hair, and all you smell is your burnt hair along with your hopes and dreams. The smell doesn't go away until you've washed your hair like 4 times.

7. Braiding your hair just doesn't happen

You spend a half an hour trying to get the perfect braid, and a few hours later when you look in the mirror, it's all loose and constantly coming out of the hair tie.

8. All the hair spray you have to use

You literally have to use an ungodly ammount of hairspray if you want your hair to do literally anything besides hang down.

9. Updo hair bumps

When you watch your curly haired friends put their hair up with no problems, and you try only to find these awful bumps on top of your head that just wont go away.

10. When you take school photos only to find strands of your hair sticking out

There's nothing worse than thinking you took a great picture only to find that a whole section of your hair was sticking out the entire time.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
