If you have curly hair, I promise you can relate to all of these. Sure, curls seem great in theory, but they take a LOT of time, effort, and energy to make your hair look presentable. So, if you were blessed with curls, you'll understand what I'm talking about.

1. You never know what it will look like when you wake up.

Will it be flat? Will it be a frizzy afro? Will it be both? Who knows.

2. Getting up in the morning and not fixing it is not a thing.

Unless it's going up into a bun, be prepared to put in serious work to make it look halfway decent. There is no such thing as "I'll just wake up and brush it and go." See #5.

3. You feel like you fund the entire hair product industry.

You've got to have good shampoo, lots of conditioners, a little detangler here and there, and maybe even a dash of leave-in conditioner. That stuff adds up, but unless you want to walk around with a tumbleweed on your head you have to invest a little bit.

4. Straightening your hair should be an olympic event.

If you're planning on straightening the mop, you better set aside at least an hour and have incredible commitment. Once you start, you have to finish. Unless you're going for some weird half straight half curly all crazy thing.

5. Hairbrushes don't exist. 

Brushing out your curls means you'll end up with a frizzy cloud, and no one wants to walk around with a cloud for hair all day. You do not touch hairbrushes. Ever.

6. People LOVE to say "OMG I wish I had your hair!!"

Do you? Want to trade? Because I will. I promise, you'll give it back.

7. They also love to ask "Is it natural?"

Yep. Sure is. Grew it myself.

8. You always check the weather religiously.

Rain, snow, humidity, extreme heat, etc, all determine what kind of hair day you'll end up having. Humidity is also created by Satan himself. Prove me wrong.

9. Baseball caps aren't a luxury you can afford.

If you're going to wear a hat, you better have a really good reason or be ready to wear your hair in a ponytail for the rest of your life. Hat hair is real and it is not fun. Once those curls are molded to the shape of the hat, there's not much that can save them except taking a shower and starting over.

10. No matter how much you wish you could just chop it all off, you love your curls.

And if we're being real here, they love you too. Without them you wouldn't be you.

Your curls might be a hassle sometimes, but at the end of the day, they are beautiful and are a part of what makes you uniquely you. Whether you were blessed with ringlets or just waves, your curls are beautiful and there is no one else out there with hair exactly like yours, and that is your power. Sure, curls take some work, but so does anything else worth having.

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

Who could be a better friend than your own sister?

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

College involves a whirlwind of emotions, whether it’s from the stress of an assignment (or twenty), or from fighting with your roommate. It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective. The following aren’t foolproof tips and may not apply to you, but I was able to find success with them (hope you do too!)
