Anyone with curly hair knows the love/hate relationship with their curls. Whether you've always loved your curls or it's taken you years to learn to deal with, you will definitely be able to relate to these curly hair struggles.

1. Water fixes everything

Frizz, bed-head, just a rough hair day? Hop in the shower and your hair is revived and brought back to life.

2. The amount of product you use in a day is unreal

You go through conditioner like none other, and the amount of products that your curls soak up on the daily is more than the average person probably uses in a week.

3. Your are unrecognizable with straight hair

Need to avoid the paparazzi, or maybe just don't want to talk to someone? Straighten your hair! Seriously, no one will recognize you because everyone always associates you with your curls; they'll be very thrown off by the new look.

4. You don't own a brush

Brushes are a no-go. Unless you are going for that mad-scientist look, put it away!

5. Humidity is NOT your friend

The humidity may make you reminisce of balmy, summer days, but it will make your hair crazy. It is to be avoided at all costs!

6. When someone says your hair looks better straight

Um, thanks, I guess? This definitely comes off as an insult if you normally wear your hair curly. It almost feels like a personal attack at who you are at your core. If you don't like my curls, then you don't like me!

7. You've grown to love your curls

In middle school, you may have killed your curls every day, but with time, you've learned how to style your curly hair. Now it's your favorite feature!

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.
