10 Struggles Of Having Curly Hair

Having curly hair is truly both a blessing and a curse. You love your hair, but you also kinda hate it. Some days it annoys the hell out of you, and other days you can't imagine life without it. It is one of your favorite things about yourself, and at the same time your least favorite. Curly hair is a beautiful burden that some people are just blessed to carry.

1. Sometimes your curls aren't curlyenough.

I don't know why, but some days my curls just aren't feeling it and basically take the day off without letting me know. My hair becomes some kind of wavy mess and it's very irritating and confusing.

2. Shampooing

You know you have to wash your hair, but shampoo actually destroys curly hair. It actually dries your hair out so much you could start a fire with it, and no amount conditioner would fix that.

3. Conditioner

You mostly use conditioner and cleansing conditioners, because, of course, shampoo dries your hair out too much, but most conditioners do the same. So, you're always trying new conditioners, hoping to find the perfect one that really hydrates and isn't a liar.

4. Other hair care products.

Just using conditioner for curly hair is never enough. A leave-in conditioner is always usually necessary if you want your hair to be soft and hydrated, not brittle and disgusting.

5. Spending money on all the aforementioned products.

Quality haircare doesn't come cheap, especially if you want it to actually work, and work well.


6. Humidity

Hydration is wonderful, but high humidity makes having curly hair almost unbearable. It gets so heavy and full of moisture, and if it's super hot you might be dripping in sweat. Very gross and annoying.


7. Hats

Hats either just look really weird on you or they don't fit right because your hair is so big. Or they just feel weird.


8. Swimming doesn't sound fun anymore.

You don't want to ruin the product and hard work you put into your hair, and imagine the damage the chlorine will do to it and especially how it will look after you're done swimming.

9. People always want to play with/touch your hair, and they are not allowed.


10. It sheds a lot.

Your hair is probably all over your home and it is definitely annoying your family or friends.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.

I think the hardest thing about going away to college is figuring out how to become an adult. Leaving a household where your parents took care of literally everything (thanks, Mom!) and suddenly becoming your own boss is overwhelming. I feel like I'm doing a pretty good job of being a grown-up, but once in awhile I do something that really makes me feel like I'm #adulting. Twenty-somethings know what I'm talking about.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.
