The Pros and Cons Of Having Giant Curly Hair

This is what happens when both your parents looked like Napoleon Dynamite in high school.

Jun 02, 2015

Throughout the 20 years of my young life, I have learned to appreciate and even adore this absolute mop I call a head of hair. However, there are definitely times that I contemplate life without a ponytail twice the size of my head. To organize these thoughts, I have made a pros and cons list regarding the ample amount of ramen noodles congregated on top of my noggin.

Pros

I have a pillow during class

On good days I feel like country Taylor Swift (side note: I'm starting a petition to bring her back)

It's very easy to dress up as Blake from Workaholics for Halloween

It never gets greasy (a mystery and a gift I don't question)

It's like having a soft and fluffy poodle on my head at all times (some may consider this a con)

I always have an excuse to take 45 minutes showers (Mom, I know our water bill is $6 zillion, but my hair is really tangled today!)

To dress up as an '80s workout girl all I have to do is simply brush my hair like a normal human being.

Cons

It retains a substantial amount of heat during summer months, frat parties, chapter, and sitting stationary in class.

Bangs are never everan option (I tried side bangs at age 13 and cried for many days afterwards).

It's very easy to wake up looking like a tumbleweed and never recover.

Things fall out of it that don't belong to me, things I have never seen before which can be very stressful and alarming.

It takes four hours to dry completely (scientific fact).

Everyone has good hair days that make them feel like Rihanna, and bad hair days that make them look like the Weeknd. Or maybe I that's just me, because I don't know how to use product. But despite the few cons to having unique hair, I would never trade these curls for anything. To all the people out there with crazy hair, or just hair in general: you go girl! Release your inhibitions!! Love your hair!!!

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Her sister was a member, her mom was a member, all of her aunts were members, and her grandma was a member. She has been waiting her whole life to wear these letters and cried hysterically on bid day. Although she can act entitled at times, you can bet she is one of the most enthusiastic sisters.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
