Let's talk about hair. It can be short, long, put up, styled, straight or curly. The possibilities are endless. I have long, coarse hair. It is wavy and on the thicker side. My hair has always been a struggle. It has been long for the majority of my life. I have had it cut short twice in the eighteen years I've been alive.

I typically get stuck to one or two hairstyles. I usually go for a ponytail or messy bun, but over the past few months, I've been wearing it down more often. I'm too lazy to straighten or curl it. I would braid it, but I don't know how to do anything else other than a simple three-strand, side braid.

I just have too much of it to deal with it, resulting in basic styles. I don't know if I'm just lazy, or if long hair is a problem. Here are a few problems that come with having long hair.

1. One word: shedding

Shedding is the worst part of having long hair. I have found hairs literally everywhere. I hate getting out of the shower and feel a hair on my leg or back, but to know where it really is.

2. It can get heavy

It really is a shame. I love my ponytails high, but in order to keep them high, the ponytail needs to be extra tight, giving me a headache. I have a headache from my ponytail right now.

3. It always gets tangled

No matter how much I cut off the ends, my hair ends up tangled and knotted. I could brush it thoroughly and five minutes later it can get tangled.

4. It gets caught on everything

It gets caught on my earrings, nails, chairs, clothing racks, rings, and watches. You get the picture.

All in all, I love my hair. I may have good days and bad days, but I will probably never cut it all off.

This is for the girls who have dealt with an emotionally, mentally, physically or verbally abusive father.

The ones who have grown up with a false lens of what love is and how relationships should be. The ones who have cried themselves to sleep wondering why he hurts you and your family so much. This is for all the girls who fall in love with broken boys that carry baggage bigger than their own, thinking it's their job to heal them because you watched your mother do the same.

Blair Waldorf Quote
"DESTINY IS FOR LOSERS. IT'S JUST A STUPID EXCUSE TO WAIT FOR THINGS TO HAPPEN INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM HAPPEN." - BLAIR WALDORF.

The world stopped in 2012 when our beloved show "Gossip Girl" ended. For six straight years, we would all tune in every Monday at 9:00 p.m. to see Upper Eastside royalty in the form of a Burberry headband clad Blair Waldorf. Blair was the big sister that we all loved to hate. How could we ever forget the epic showdowns between her and her frenemy Serena Van Der Woodsen? Or the time she banished Georgina Sparks to a Christian summer camp? How about that time when she and her girls took down Bart Bass? Blair is life. She's taught us how to dress, how to be ambitious, and most importantly, how to throw the perfect shade.

too tired to care

We've all been there. From move-in day to the first finals week in college, your first term is an adventure from start to finish. In honor of college decisions coming out recently, I want to recap some of the most common experiences college freshmen experience.

1. The awkward hellos on move-in day.

You're moving your stuff onto your floor, and you will encounter people you don't know yet in the hallway. They live on your floor, so you'll awkwardly smile and maybe introduce yourself. As you walk away, you will wonder if they will ever speak to you again, but don't worry, there's a good chance that you will make some great friends on your floor!

Recently I completed my freshman year of college, and boy, what an experience. It was a completely new learning environment and I can't believe how much I learned. In an effort to save time, here are the ten biggest lessons I learned from my first year of college.

1. Everyone is in the same boat

For me, the scariest part of starting school was that I was alone, that I wouldn't be able to make any friends and that I would stick out. Despite being told time and time again that everyone had these same feelings, it didn't really click until the first day when I saw all the other freshman looking as uneasy and uncomfortable as me. Therefore, I cannot stress this enough, everyone is feeling as nervous as you.
