Have you guys heard of Gabby Douglas? You know Gabby the 16-year-old gymnast, now gold medalist, who is a beast on the mat, and has the most beautiful smile? Yea that girl. Did you know that despite all of her amazing accomplishments and her inspiring story of how she got there, some people have the nerve to talk about her hair? People have commented that Gabby needs a stylist or hair interventions because she isn't representing black women and their hair correctly. Forget the fact that she is the only black girl on the US gymnastic team, has to compete for our country, and had to beat out her own teammates to get into the All Around Gymnast Finals, her first and utmost concern should be whether or not her hair is laid down and slick back. Right.
The only thing we knew about college before we got there was what we saw on TV. Everybody was in a sorority, drunk, and it all looked easy and fun. TV lied. Finding our space, figuring everything out, and taking our first steps into adulthood were all things we had to deal with. We want to bring you our college experience -the good, the bad, and the ugly -and teach you what we're learning along the way. That's what the Students' Lifestyle is all about.
