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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
