So, we've seen thick hair problems and curly hair problems. What about us gals with textureless, lifeless, stick straight hair? Yeah, I grew up with super soft hair that does absolutely nothing, so I have decided to finally write about the struggles of having long, boring hair.

1. Unless you haven't washed it in, like, a month, no style stays.

How much product you use makes no difference. You wanted to curl your hair today? Nah, haphazard waves will do. You want a cute little bump to accent your half up? Yeah it'll work.. then 20 minutes later it's flat and flopped over to the side.

2. If it's super long, it does even less.

OH, YOU WANTED BEACH WAVES TODAY? Bahaha fun joke, you get awkward ponytail bump hair instead (we'll make sure it's nice and weighed down for ya).

3. Your hair gets stuck in your armpits and then you rip it out when you move.

Idk, all I know is that I better not be the only person this freaking happens to. It hurts and it's soooo annoying.

4. Dry hair = Static = Snarls from hell.

During the winter when it's especially dry out, you're always brushing your hair to make sure it's not a snarly rat's nest but then if you brush it too much, it'll get even more static-y and then... yeah. Congrats, full circle, do it all again.

5. Perms don't work.

I've had three. And only the first stayed for a good amount of time, I'm assuming because my hair was shorter. The next one stayed about a month, maybe two. And the third is an experience I'm not comfortable talking about k thanks bai.

6. Straightening your hair is your go-to.

What hair tool do you grab for a nice dinner? Straightener. For an important meeting? Straightener. Job interview? Hair straightener. Night out? Hair straightener.

7. Messy buns?

HAHAHAHA no. Your hair is too smooth and slippery to stay up in the perfect effortless looking messy bun. If the ponytail isn't wrapped tight enough, everything will fall out. If the ponytail is wrapped too tight, you look close to bald save for the bun itself.

8. Being super soft and smooth is a blessing and a curse.

It's awesome to play with and the perfect bait to make a cute guy play with your hair when y'all are cuddling BUT the second you try to do a braid or anything intricate, you either need 463 bobby pins, cement like hairspray, or a damn wig.

9. Baseball caps R lyfe.

If you went to bed with wet hair and woke up with a cowlick, or your hair just ain't doin' it for ya today: Baseball caps during the spring/summer/fall or fluffy hats during the fall/winter/spring.

10. Some days, though, it all works out beautifully.

You take all the right precautions, use good oils, dry shampoo, the right amount of hairspray and BAM! Somehow, it looks great (but don't think the second day style will work out. That's more rare than a unicorn).

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
