There are days when my hair plays nice and I can't help but worship how good it looks naturally. These days only occur during the winter, and now that spring is coming back, I'm not prepared for the bad hair days to come. Frizzy hair is the absolute worst. So to mourn the coming of the bad hair days, let's count the everyday problems people with frizzy hair face.

1. Don't even think about wasting your time untangling it.

It's just going to get retangled the second you walk outside, solely because of a swift breeze or because you got accessories stuck in it. Don't even bother. And speaking of things not to waste your time on...

2. Just go natural if the humidity is bad.

"Anti-frizz" cream my ass. The minute the humidity goes above 75 percent, I can kiss my nice straightened hair goodbye. Why even waste your time making it look good if Mother Nature is just going to ruin it anyway?

3. Dry shampoo is your best friend.

Anti-frizz cream may work sometimes, but dry shampoo makes your frizz look shiny and wavy at least. This doesn't mean it fixes your problem entirely, but hey, it can at least make your "I woke up like dis" look relatively presentable.

4. Fly-aways can go away.

It seems like no matter what product you use or how many times you straighten your hair in an hour, the fly-aways will not disappear. From your roots to your ends, they will continue to exist and make your morning routine frustrating. But hey, if you can make them look as good as this girl does, then it's not all bad.

5. Oh, the joys of elastics.

They will get stuck in your hair. And you will break them trying to get them out of your hair. This goes back to the point above, because it's all the fault of the stupid fly-aways.

6. Straightening your hair hurts but helps.


The number one rule everyone says about frizzy hair is to avoid heat, but it helps it so much. Even though you're only supposed to straighten your hair on special occasions to help keep your hair healthy. Does every day count as a special occasion?

7. Just. Stay. Down.

You feel like Simba when your hair is frizzy, because your hair just continues to poof up and it's impossible to get your hair back down to a normal look. If you need any proof of how this is a bad thing, take a look at this photo of me from eighth grade, and feel sympathy for that poor child.

Which brings me to my next point...

8. Don't even think about cutting your hair shorter than a bob.

You may think that you can pull off a cute pixie cut, but boy do you not know the amount of maintenance that will go into that look. Your frizzy hair will quickly turn into a bowl hair cut. Take it from me. This photo is only a few months after the one above.

Ah, the curses of frizzy hair. If you understand anything in this article because it's your life from spring through fall, I'm so sorry for you. But at least you get to enjoy my self-deprecation. We all have those photos somewhere on our computers, though, because frizz is a beast no one deserves to fight. But hey, at least we're all in this together.

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
