Two packs of the 20 inch Yaki please! Wendy Williams must go through MUCH hair in the course of a month because everytime we see this media maven, she has a new 'do. Whatever this self-proclaimed Queen of All Media does -- she does it big -- from her furs to her dripping jewels to that monstrosity that sits atop her dome -- her hair. Like a cheetah girl on steroids, Williams is never far away from animal prints or splashes of pink.
Call Wendy a lot of things (and over the years many people have) but you definitely wouldn't call her a shrinking violet. Nor would you call her a slacker. She has launched herself from one of the hottest radio programs in NYC ('The Wendy Williams Experience') to a nationally syndicated talk show recently picked up by FOX TV. Throw in a couple of books and the queen of media moniker rings more and more true. We give you some of her hairstyles through the years.
The College Survival Guide
A Fridge
Regardless of whether you have a wonderful sized meal plan, your fridge may come in handy with leftovers or when you feel like stocking it with bottled drinks.
Computer
The convenience of a computer is essential when sending your kids off to college. Forget the hike to the computer lab across campus students need a computer in the comfort of their room. A printer comes in handy as well. Depending on whether your child plans to carry his laptop around campus, you might opt for a desk top since they're lighter on the pockets.
Snacks
You will surely survive with off of a meal plan but it doesn't hurt to stock up on snacks when you don't feel like leaving your dorm room. Bottled water, pop corn, cereal and Ramen noodles are all low budget snacks to stock up on. Just be weary of the freshman 15.
Things from home
Some college students suffer from homesickness the first year. It's best to surround yourself with things like photos of the family, pillows or even stuffed animals. Anything that reminds your child of home.
MP3 Player
With all the stress that comes from school and exams, sometimes it's nice to block out the chaos in your life and even your roommate with music. It's nearly impossible to find students walking to class who aren't jamming to tunes.
Budget
Students who enter college often come in at the ripening age of 18. A great time for credit cards. Parents beware, your child may end up ruining their credit at a young age
Alarm Clock
When you're in college you don't have the luxury of getting awaken by your parents. It's now your responsibility to get to class on time so alarm clocks are a must. But keep your roommate in mind. You shouldn't wake him up ever morning with a blow horn alarm.
Cleaning supplies
Now you don't necessarily need to bring in the rubber gloves, mop and gas mask but it doesn't hurt to bring along Clorox all purpose wipes for spills or dust. Vacuums and brooms come in handy too depending if you have a carpeted dorm.
Bedding
What most parents aren't aware of is that most college beds are twin sized but extra long and require special sheets. When shopping keep your eye open for sheets that clearly state 'extra long' or else your child may come up short.
Shower shoes
You really don't know what some people do in the shower these days. College showers are known to be creeping with germs so spare yourself the fungus and purchase flip flops for the shower. You'll thank us later!

STOP HATING ON WENDY WILLIAMS THAT IS WRONG WITH A LOT OF BLACK PEOPLE YOU GUYS HATE ON EACH OTHER. SHE IS A SUCESSFUL WOMAN WITH A RADIO SHOW, TV SHOW, HUSBAND AND SON.
