Curls for days.

If you have curly hair you may already know everyday is another challenge. Lately it has been hot and muggy out which makes my curly crazy hair extra impossible to keep up with.

These are some daily occurrences that I have happened way too many times.

1. Humidity

Yes curly hair's worst enemy. So most of us curly haired people can not stand the summer.


2. Dry it Straight

When people with straight hair just tell you to dry your hair straight.

I am sorry what ? That is not possible. It is not like going to bed with braided hair and waking up with wavy hair.

3. Hair brushes

We all have been there at least once where your hair isn't having it.

It would probably take you a long while to detangle your brush out of your hair.


4. Conditioner is Key

Sometimes you feel like you use half a bottle in one wash.


5. Rain

When it rain can just ruin your hair in a split second.


6. WOW! You have so much hair

Having to explain that the natural volume of your hair just makes it look 10x bigger than it actually is.

7. As a child being compared to a broom or a mop. Always made you wish you had straight hair.

9. Shampoo commercials

When you watch commercials that advertise shampoo for curly hair , but the hair model doesn't even have curly hair….

10. The question

Every time you answer the question "how long does it take to straighten your hair" Your answer always makes you think why do you even bother straightening your hair.

11. The Unknown

You never know how your hair is going to end up when you air dry.

12. Taming

It takes a lot of time and patience to maintain curly hair and sometimes it includes putting a lot gunk in your hair.

13. Please do not touch

Some people are just fascinated by curly hair but as I said before it takes a lot to maintain it , therefore please do not touch!

13.Badass

We can all admit that having curly hair automatically makes you a bad ass.

Curly hair is just a blessing in disguise. Our hair reflects how bouncy and fun we can be.

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked. And yes, I know many people have written about this show before, but I couldn't resist. I could re-watch every season multiple times to the point where I can almost quote an entire scene. Trust me, once you start "One Tree Hill", you will be hooked. There's way too many reasons to list as to why you'll love this show, and these are just a few.

It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.
