I have had naturally super curly hair for my entire life. As most curly haired people do, I have a love-hate relationship with my hair. Back in middle school it was mostly a hate relationship. But now, as an almost-20 year old, I definitely have more love for my curls. However, there are still some moments when I wish I had more manageable hair. Here are just a few of those moments...and I'm sure you can relate if you're a fellow curly head.

1.  People ask to touch your hair all the time

Maybe it is just because I've grown so used to what I was born with, but I don't think I will ever understand the fascination people have when they see my hair. It's as if no one else in the world has curls.

2.  You always replace the shampoo and conditioner at different times

I'm still waiting for the day I run out of both at the same time.

3. Putting your hair up is a serious commitment.

Once you put your hair into a bun or ponytail, you only have 5 minutes to change your mind before it molds itself into a whole new shape.

4. No product=frizz

I don't think I have ever gone anywhere important without product in my hair. Actually, now that I am thinking about it, I don't think I ever go anywhere without hair product. My hair would literally just be frizz. You wouldn't even be able to tell it's curly.

5.  Too much product=crunchy hair

It's literally the worst. You have to learn the perfect amount of gel/mousse to use because too little leaves you with frizz and too much leaves you feeling crunchy.

6.  You can’t brush it while it’s dry

And if you do, you better be planning on getting in the shower right after

7. You are scared of haircuts

You're always afraid that the hair stylist cuts too much off and you end up with a much fluffier hairstyle than you started with.

8. You complain all the time but you would never trade it

Yes--curly hair can be difficult to manage. But at the same time, you would never trade it for anything else.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
