Six Hairstyles For When You Don't Want To Wash Your Hair
Abby Schultz

When you're a busy college student. Sometimes washing your hair isn't as high on your priority list as you might want it to be. But fear not, because you can still look super cute and presentable even when you skip a few washes! And truth be told, you really shouldn't be washing your hair everyday anyway! It's not good for it. The oils your scalp produces are good for your hair in the long run, but they can make your hair look less than its best in the moment. These are my go-to hairstyles for when my hair is looking a little greasy.

1. Classic High Pony

You seriously can't go wrong with a high pony. This one is so easy to do when you're running late.

2. Double French Braids

Alright, I'll admit, I don't actually know how to french braid. But even if you're in the same boat as me, recruit one of your talented friends to do this for you. Offer Chipoltle as a bribe if necessary.

3. Space Buns

I absolutely love this look and I feel extra confident whenever I wear it. It may look a little intimidating, but it's really not that hard. Start with high pigtails, tease your hair a bit, then start wrapping it up into a bun and pin it!

4. Sock Bun

Listen very carefully: Do not buy one of those bun maker/hair donut things! They are a total waste of money! It's called a sock bun because you should use an actual sock! Just get a crew length sock (knee sock for a bigger bun) and cut a teeny bit of the toe off. Then roll it up into a donut shape. This is your new best friend. Don't lose it.

5. High Pigtails

Channel your inner second grader with this fun look! This style is a great way to get out of a hair rut!

6. Baseball Hat

A baseball hat is your best friend when you definitely should have washed your hair, but didn't. No one will ever be able to tell that your hair is greasy because it is being concealed by the hat! Plus they come in so many fun styles it's easy to make a statement with your baseball hat!

With these six hairstyles, you can still look cute while saving some time in your routine!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
