10 Things That Happen When Your Hair Has A Mind Of Its Own

You have thick hair? Good luck. You have kinky/curly hair? Good luck. You have naturally frizzy hair? Good luck. You have thick, curly, frizzy hair? Hats are in aisle 3; Clippers in aisle 9. Take your pick. If you live with hair that falls into any of these categories, you know there's no way to explain what its like, but chances are your relationship with your hair sound something like this...

1. You debate shaving your head at least once a week.

You're drooling at the thought of not having to spend 3 hours on your hair everyday, but then flashes of Britney in 2007 put you back in your place.

2. You're not a stranger to the occasional broken hairbrush.

All of your friends were laughing when the brush broke off in Mia Thermopolis's hair and you're thinking "I feel you, girl"

3. You hear "people would pay a lot of money for your hair" at least 3 times a year.

Who? What's their phone number? Can they pay me in cash?

4. You try to warn your hair dresser, but they still insist on saying "wow, you have some crazy hair."

Yeah, I'm aware. Now break out the detangler, relaxer, and thinning scissors and let's get the show on the road

5. The only thing you fear more than the 'Stranger Things' Demogorgon is humidity.

At least the goo you would be covered in while running through 'the upside down' would act as gel to tame our locks.

6. You're thankful every time an up-do is the next big trend.

The only thing easier than a hat is an up-do. The ultimate win is being able to rock an up-do in a hat. #ThankfulForBaseballHats

7. "Use a quarters size amount of conditioner" is always at the top of your funny joke list.

The only quarter amount I can use is a quarter of the bottle.

8. You block out any attempted compliment from your thin and straight, aka 'normal', haired friends.

We know you're trying to be nice, but it's like being only 'a little' punched in the face.

9. You question your sanity when you realize you've been verbally disciplining your hair like an animal.

Sit! Stay! GOOD BOYYY!

10. You're an expert when it comes to recommending hair products because, chances are, you've tried 'em all.

That shampoo smells like Pez candy. These hair ties are least likely to snap. Only use that hairspray if you don't plan on having anyone touch your hair for the next 17 days because it'll be as hard as a rock.

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.

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.
