5 Hairstyles For When You're Feeling Lazy

I love makeup and hair things, but somedays it is really not worth it to put all of your time into a little 'do. If you're like me and you're a fancy girl in a lazy girl's body, maybe these few hairstyles are something you can benefit from.

1. The infamous messy bun

The key to making your messy bun cute is to put the initial ponytail at a mid-high height. If you have longer hair, the way to make your bun appear the most voluminous is to twist on the last 1-2 inches, and simply wrap around the rest of your hair. Then of course, tuck that little bit underneath the band or grab a bobby pin to secure it. The little wispies and baby hairs are what make a messy bun cute, so don't worry about looking super put together. It's called a messy bun for a reason.

2. The half-ponytail


The super-high half ponytail is coming back into trend. If you're going for the full look but only being half lazy, sleep in the messy bun the night before you do the half pony so you achieve those nice waves to give your hair extra volume. When you put your hair up, gather it all with a hairbrush before securing it with a band, and use either a small band or a regular band to secure it, but make sure you wrap the band a few times around to make it extra secure.

3. The full-ponytail


While simple, this look can be given an extra ounce of sophistication if, after tying your hair with a band, you take a small piece of hair from underneath the pony and wrap it around the band. It's a super cute look, and it you do it right, it look pretty magical. Like, where did the band go and how is your hair so secure?

4. All down with a few heating tool tricks


My favorite lazy trick is to put my hair in a silly ponytail right on top of my head, and then quickly curl whichever ends made it up there. when you take the ponytail out, you get that flawless curled-end look that looks like you took hours on your hair, but you actually spent about three minutes. It's pretty freaking great.

5. Simple, quick braid


The fastest way to braid your hair is to only braid some of it. This is super simple to do if you sweep all of your hair to the side and twist the parts that may fall out in the back. Secure your twist with a bobby pin and quickly braid whatever's on the side. If your strands are uneven, this braid still looks pretty cool, and the entire look is completely effortless.

Hair and makeup is pretty fun to do, but always remember that you look great au natural and with makeup and hair done. These two things are truly an art, but by no means a necessity or a measure of beauty. You're already incredible just being yourself, so keep on doing you!

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.

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.
