Have unruly curly hair? Is it too voluminous? Doesn't it bother people? Do they always want to touch it? Yeah, I have the same problems. Do you remember all the sleep you lost just to get your hair in the right curl pattern in the morning, or all the time you spent frying your hair under a dryer to keep it straight?

I've cried a million times about the struggles my hair has given me over the past few years, and I'm sure you have, too. Through the hardships that we face everyday just from our hair alone, it's always nice to laugh a little at our pain and cry a little when we have to deal with it. So let's reminisce on our "Curly Hair Problems" together.

1. Every time you straighten your hair, it's a battle with:

Your salon stylist,


Nature.



Or simply just the beast itself.



2. Speaking of combing or brushing the hair, you never do it unless you have to. Detangling is always the way to go, but even then...


3. When we do comb our hair, oh boy, is it a mess.



4. But if you don't comb it for a while, shrinkage is a real thing:



5. How about all the times you tried to do your hair the way the cute vloggers do?



6. "Well if everything else doesn't work, you could always tie it in a bun."

HOW!?!?!



7. Technically, you could just do a wash and go and pray for the best. Or have humidity bite you in the ass.



8. Now going to bed is easy. Your hair is it's own pillow. Perfect for car road trips. But in the morning...



9. What's the worst part? The stupid questions about your hair? Of course that's the worst part. (Like dealing with your hair isn't hard enough.)

The most common questions are:

1. How do you make your hair do that? You know, how do you make it curly?



2. It's so fluffy! Can I touch your hair?



3. Are you sure it's long? It doesn't look like it. I think you cut your hair.




All in all, life with curly hair is hard. It's frustrating, time consuming, and just plain tiring. All I can say is, try not to do this:


Because honestly, at 8AM every morning, this is all I think about. Then I think about how trying just a little every morning, and I can just be proud to have my hair the way it is, just like all the other curly haired girls.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
