13 Reasons Having Curly Hair is a Blessing and a Curse

Having naturally curly is great -until it isn't. No we don't wake up and instantly have beautiful beach waves.Sometimes we wake up and look like Mia before her makeover in Princess Diaries. It's a struggle when you walk outside in the rain after just spending 45 minutes straightening your hair just to have it ruined. But you certainly feel blessed beyond belief when you have those days where you wake up and your hair is looking flawless. One thing is for sure having these curly qs is both a both a blessing and a curse.

1. Curse: You never know what it's going to look like

2. Blessing: Sometimes times you can literally wake up and go

3. Curse: You have tried so many different hair products and none of them seem to work right

4. Blessing: You only need to comb it right before and right after your shower

5. Curse: Brushing out your hair is a tedious painful process

6. Blessing: You are in good company

Beyonce, pre Dunkirk Harry Styles, Zendaya, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Rhianna and so many more

7. Curse: Straightening your is a big deal and it takes forever

8. Blessing: You never have to spend time curling your hair

9. Curse: Flyaways are your worst enemy

10. Blessing: You can rock an updo


11. Curse: You run out of conditioner too fast

Is this too much? Nah....

12. Blessing: You always give off a natural, carefree vibe

13. Curse: Humidity is the arch nemesis

Though the high and the lows, curly hair is part of what makes you who you are. So I am here to wish you an amazing hair day, the perfect curly hair product you have been searching for, patience in times of combing through knots, and confidence in the times when your hair is looking less like Beyonce and alittle more like a rat has decided to nest on top of your head. Yes, there will be those days when you just want to rip your hair out, but on those days remember that it's your hair to rock through the frizz, knots, and flyaways.

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.

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.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
