11 Things Every Redhead has Experienced

Let's be honest, we have a lot in common

Trends have faded in and out of my life but one thing has always been present: the ever so famous "oh my god I just love your hair color" comment. Every redhead has heard over and over again, and it's all something we all have in common with each other (besides being apart of 2% of the population). Since it's not the only thing we have in common, here are 11 things every natural redhead has experienced

1. Is that your natural hair color?

Besides being complimented by the rareness of our hair color we also get people asking if it is natural. Usually when I meet someone for the first time the "naturalness" of my hair color comes up in the conversation. The answer is the same every single time (yes).

2. Kick a Ginger day

Some people sadly do take this day seriously. One way or another you have heard about it. Some people do actually get kicked and some don't. Either way it's a dumb day. Why waste a portion of your day on physically harming someone, it makes no sense.

3. Possible Extinction?

We've all heard about the rumor. Surprisingly this has been studied by many different scientists, some say that we will go extinct and some say we won't. Since there isn't a clear as day answer it's hard to gather a full on opinion. I think it's safe to say that most of us don't believe in it.

4. Blinding Yourself with your Pale Skin

Wearing shorts outside on the first warm day in spring? Be sure to bring some sunglasses. Pale skin tends to shine especially bright in the sun.

5. Bullying while growing up

Time to get a little more serious. Elementary school and middle school can be a rough time for kids, almost everyone gets bullied in some way shape or form. If you grew up when I did you'll know that middle school was prime ginger joke era. Jokes can be thrown at you left and right and eventually you just learn not to take it seriously

6. Soulless Soul Eater

My favorite ginger joke of all time has to deal with the topic of souls. I don't know the origin story of this but it's just ridiculous. Very funny but very weird. Like what are we Dementor's from Harry Potter?

7. Hating your Hair with Every Fiber in your Body

Let's be short with with this one. Who hasn't been insecure about their red hair? If you haven't then bless your soul (or non existent soul) because you have been very lucky.

8. You must be Irish?

Although this one doesn't apply to me, I have seen many other redheads online who always get questioned if they are Irish.

9. Where are the Redhead emojis?

Every redhead on social media is always questioning about the lack of representation of gingers in the emoji universe. It is a serious question though.

10. Fake Gingers

The popularity of red hair is growing and people are dyeing their hair to try and seamlessly blend in with the 2% crowd. A natural shade of red is so hard to get that people spend a ridiculous amount of money trying to get just the right shade, unfortunately it doesn't look good on everyone

11. Sunburn

I saved this one for last because honestly it's the most common. With red hair comes fair skin. The sun is our enemy and no amount of sunscreen can protect us. I've become so used to being sunburned that I just don't feel the pain. Looking like a tomato has just become apart of life now.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
