7 Everyday Struggles Of A Blonde Girl

You know, sometimes it's not so bad being a blonde. Other times, like 87% of the time, being blonde is almost a chore.

1. "Is that your natural color?"

So about half of the blonde population can say yes, the other half can say no. No matter what side you fall on, you get tired of hearing it.

2. Never being able to wear yellow.

Okay, to be fair, yellow doesn't actually look good on anyone. But if you're blonde it especially doesn't look good.

3. Being thought of as stupid. All the time.

I didn't realize we were still using this stereotype, but apparently we are. Do you have any idea how many times I get asked if I need help or if I'm lost when I'm out and about?

But no really. This is not a movie, this is real life, and blondes are not the bumbling idiots that films make us out to be.


4. Being weary of pool water.

Everyone knows that if you're not careful, the chlorine will turn your hair green. It really will too, that's the scary thing.

5. Being scared to try another color

It's pretty common knowledge that you have to be very careful when choosing hair colors, especially if you're a natural blonde. Once you dye it, you can never get it back to the blonde it used to be. So typically, we just decide against it and are always left to wonder about what could have been.

6. Always being thought of as "the slutty girls."

No. There's no debating this. There is no talking about this. There is no explaining this. It's just no.

7. Naturally we have pale skin

It's just a fact of life. Light hair codes for light skin. I mean it's not always seen as a bad thing, but it's not always seen as a good thing either. If you like the pale life, then it's perfect and red lip stick looks really good with blonde hair and pale skin. If you are not digging the pale life, then I'm sure you have a tanning package.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

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.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

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.
