Before thick eyebrows were considered "on fleek," every hairy beauty knew the struggle of feeling like their body hair was source of ridicule, bankruptcy or a razor burn to the self-esteem. From playground bullies to naked mole-rat social norms, growing up hairy has been anything but a smooth journey.

1. Waxing/shaving/threading/bleaching your upper lip for the first time was like discovering a whole new world.

2. You can relate to Cousin Itt from the Addams Family on a personal level.

3. You might have an aunt with a beard or some form of chin hair... You might also have a fear of becoming that aunt one day.

4. You probably went through a "chola" phase where you plucked off way too much eyebrow hair.

5. Your body doesn't produce peach fuzz, it produces coconut hair.

6. Playground bullies had roast sessions making fun of your body hair... You probably shaved your arms/legs for the first time because of these bullies.

7. Before your eyebrows were "on fleek," your self-esteem was on delete from people calling them caterpillars, unibrow and bushy.

8. Casually wondering if your friends have "hair there too."

9. Your sideburns are Hyde from "That 70's Show" thick.

10. Preparing for Summer is like preparing for war.

11. Learning to love your body, hair and all was a battle growing up. Whether you let your body hair grow free or decide to keep it tamed, remember that you have always been on fleek.

Don't get me wrong, I think Thanksgiving is great and can't wait for it, but nothing gives me greater joy than watching Freeform's 25 Days of Christmas, lighting peppermint scented candles, decking the halls, and baking gingerbread cookies. So while we approach the greatest time of the year, let's watch the 15 best Christmas movies of all time.

6 Signs You Are An English Major

There are various stereotypes about college students, most of which revolve around the concept of your major. Unfortunately, we often let stereotypes precede our own judgments, and we take what information is immediately available to us rather than forming our own opinions after considerable reflection. If I got a dollar for every time my friends have made a joke about my major I could pay my tuition. One stereotype on campus is the sensitive, overly critical and rigid English major. Here are six telltale signs you are one of them.

When you were little, your parents probably told you television makes your brain rot so you wouldn't watch it for twelve straight hours. However, I feel we can learn some pretty valuable stuff from television shows. "The Office," while a comedy, has some pretty teachable moments thrown in there. You may not know how to react in a situation where a co-worker does something crazy (like put your office supplies in jello) but thanks to "The Office," now you'll have an idea how to behave ifsomething like that should happen.

Here are just a few of the things that religious Office watchers can expect to learn.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

Books were always about understanding for me, about learning the way someone else sees, about connection.

High School And College Sucked All Of The Fun Out Of Reading

I keep making this joke whenever the idea of books is brought up: "God, I wish I knew how to read." It runs parallel to another stupid phrase, as I watch my friends struggle through their calculus classes late at night in our floor lounge: "I hope this is the year that I learn to count." They're both truly idiotic expressions, but, when I consider the former, I sometimes wonder if there's some truth to it.
