It's 7:55, you're running out the door for your 8 a.m. class, and you didn't wash your hair this morning. So what do you do with it? You throw it in a messy bun.

It's cute, convenient, and in a metaphysical way you can't quite understand, you identify with it. You grab your ponytail holder, you grasp a bobby pin between your teeth, and you perform the ancient art of flipping your hair up in that perfectly imperfect poof. The messy bun has saved me again, you think. I am one with the messy bun.

And you're right. You are one with the messy bun; here are the signs.

1. You're always in a hurry.

This god-send mound of hair goes up faster than you can say, "Be there in five!"

2. But you know how to crash.

Nothing says "I'm the queen of relaxation" quite like putting all your hair into one manageable space.

3. Okay, so you might be a little lazy.

Yes, this is a lazy hairstyle. Yes, you feel like that reflects your inner self.

4. And it might get a little out of hand sometimes.

You have baby hairs flying away. You didn't make your bed this morning. You're on your third cup of coffee and you're already dreaming about your fourth.

5. But at the end of the day, somehow you're even more flawless.

Let's face it, whether mornings jive with you or not, you blossom as the day goes on. By nighttime, your messy bun has turned into an advanced messy bun, your makeup might not be what it was, and you're rocking that hard-day's-work vibe.

6. You're wild and free.

Your heart can't be contained, and neither can your fly-aways.

7. You can be uncooperative.

On occasion, your bun won't go up. No matter how hard you try, it just won't. Also, you tend not to do what you're told. It's like you and your bun are connected.

8. You are well loved.

Everyone adores a good messy bun. Likewise, everyone sees the good in you!

9. You can change it up.

You're spontaneous and fun. People never know what to expect with you in the best way possible. Even if you like your habits and your routines, you always have excitement up your sleeve.

10. You're super cute, but you'll never, ever admit it.

I mean, look at that. Soft smiles, because you're flawless.
