Having curly hair can be a blessing and a curse. There's days when you love it and days when you want to chop it off. These are some of the struggles curly haired people have to deal with on a daily basis:

Curly hair is like a box of chocolates... you never know what you're going to get.

Sometimes you wake up and it's in the same state it was in last night. Other days you're wondering what the hell happened to it, and how did its form change. The wind and humidity also has a dramatic effect on your hair. It can go from nice, bouncy curls to looking like a giant poof ball in seconds.


People sometimes ask you if your hair is real.

Yes, my hair is real. No, you cannot touch it.

They also ask why you don't brush it.

If you've never seen someone brush their curly hair, ask them to try it. You're in for a good laugh.

You're always asking other curly haired girls what hair products they use.

After a while, curly hair just won't style with the products you've used for years, so you're always asking for other recommended products to maintain the poof.

You always want to straighten your hair.

Let's face it - even though it can take a few hours to straighten your hair, it's so much easier to maintain that way.

People always say "I wish I had your hair".

Sure, take it! Let me know when it starts getting hard to deal with and you want to give it back.

Haircuts are tough.

If you cut the slightest bit off, it can drastically change the shrinkage of your hair.

And so are hairstyles.

Have you ever tried braiding curly hair? It's pretty darn difficult! If you notice girls with curly hair, they mostly have it down because trying other hairstyles is almost impossible.

You wouldn't trade your curly hair for the world.

Through the pain and suffering of having curly hair, you love your bouncy and voluminous hair and wouldn't trade it for anything else.

1. You don't have to feel guilty about flirting with customers for tips (or just for shits and giggles).

2. You can be obnoxiously flirtatious with anyone you want. You are free to be that girl that flirts with everybody and makes 'em all smile (it's especially fun when the guy is as cute as Collin Jost). No shame.

3. Making random men nervous with your superior beauty and intense eye contact just for the hell of it is really amusing and empowering.

4. No one gives two poops if ya legs are hairy (your man shouldn't either but *Kermit the Frog meme* That's none of my business)

5. The toilet seat will remain down.

6. There's more money to spend on yourself.

7. There's always this secret butterfly in your tummy that marvels at the possibility that when you go out this weekend you're gonna meet someone super handsome/wonderful/prince-like and have this moment of dazzling dalliance.

8. Nothing is that serious...you can take it all with a grain of salt...you don't owe anybody anything.

9. You can dance with anyone and everyone...or no one (Hello frat boi w/ glasses, I see you).

10. You don't have to fluff anyone's ego but your own.

11. Free drinks and dinners from single guys (It's not taking advantage if they're offering; a girl's gotta eat).

12. You have more time to learn how to love and improve yourself rather than constantly pouring your energy into another person.

13. You don't have to sacrifice your cheesy Jen Aniston rom-coms and Gilmore Girls for his Fast and Furious/other dumb action movie featuring blonde that is only in the movie to supply a relationship to the male lead and to make him look more masculine/empowered in juxtaposition (In other words, you don't have to deal with a guy being a crabby Patty while you watch your cute movies).

14. You can daydream about what your future husband may be doing right now (and not get stressed/guilty out because you're not picturing your current boyfriend that's crazy about you as your future husband).

15. There is more time to be spent with your girlfriends.

Girls Night In
Milk + Blush

We've all been there - you've been saying since Tuesday after French that this weekend is the weekend. You're finally going to break out those new heels and actually put on eyeliner on and make this Friday night be one for the memory books! That is, of course, until Girls Night Out turned into...Girls Night In.

If you haven't read the first part of this, I would highly suggest to, specifically because the Public Service Announcement placed in the beginning of that article still applies. If you don't feel like reading part one, I will try to cover it quickly. Basically, long story short, I am a pretty boring person and lead a pretty ordinary life. Due to this, please do not expect for the things I consider ridiculous to be what others may deem it. I promise that each of these I have done with a complete sane, mildly bored, brain. With all of this being said, please enjoy the semi-absurd things I have been lead to do in the second semester of my freshman year at college.
