Sure, in middle school, I begged and pleaded that my hair would be naturally straight (and heat damaged it like so with my flat iron); however, as I have gotten older, I have appreciated wild, sexy curls. So, curly girls unite. Here are 20 things that all girls with curly hair have experienced: 20. When people ask you if you curled your hair… No, it’s all natural. I was born with it. 19.

Remember the episode of The Suite Life Of Zach And Cody when the wealthy London Tipton has to enter the unwelcoming doors of public school with very little friends along her side? If you remember correctly, she chooses to buy her friends, because really, what else would you expect London Tipton to do?

Read This Is You Are Having A Bad Day

I am not saying bad days don’t suck because they do. I am not saying that you can just shove your rough patches in the trash (even though I wish it was that simple) because it is easier said than done. I am not saying that you have to turn your frown upside down immediately because in reality, it can be difficult to do. Flashback to my glory days in high school, I can say that I learned one thing in my AP Psychology course that kind of stuck with me (Shoutout to Ms. Bernstein!): according to studies, smiling activates happiness.

Heartbreaking Video Of What Happened After The Miss. Universe Pageant

Yesterday was certainly a day in history for the Miss. Universe pageant (read here). Long story short, Steve Harvey announced Miss Colombia as the ultimate winner of the pageant when it was Miss Philippines all along. To make matters worse, he had to walk on stage and announce his horrible mistake to viewers all over the world. However, not only are people responding to Steve Harvey’s treacherous mistake, but they are reacting to how the girls behaved after the event. To be honest, if I was up for the title (LOL), I am not sure if I would have rather been Colombia or Philippines. Take a look at this heartbreaking video below of what happened after the Miss. Universe pageant. My heart goes out to both girls, and even Steve Harvey. While this was a TERRIBLE mistake, think about how he feels.

The Overwhelming Yes: Why I Need To Get Some Balls And Say No

From a young age, I was taught to say no to drugs. I was taught to say no to peer pressure. I was taught to say no if I was uncomfortable in any situation. I am so grateful that I have learned the power of the word no under these circumstances. However, as I am getting older, I have learned that no not only has the function of protecting oneself; but, no can prevent somebody from becoming overburdened with unnecessary stressors that build up over time. I have a serious issue in my life, and that issue is the fact that I am at everybody’s beckon call the second that they need me. I feel that I need to show everybody that I am capable of doing any little task or favor, whether it is tedious, petty, or minute. So, I end up saying yes to everything.  Why is that an issue you ask?
