11 Impulsive Decisions Every Girl Makes

Making impulsive decisions isn't always a bad things, but it's not necessarily a great idea either. Girls, and women alike, are the queens of making decisions on the whim, putting little to no thought into the logistics. But it's more fun that way, sometimes. Here are 11 impulsive decisions that many of us have made, at least once.

1. Dying our hair


I don't care if your 13, 30 or 85, dying our hair is a decision that's made on the whim more times than not. Unfortunately, it doesn't always turn out the color we intended but hey, there's always next time and besides, the purple is kind of growing on you anyway.

2. Getting a piercing


Whether it's going to have it done professionally or asking your best friend to gently shove a needle through your ear, getting another piercing is never a bad idea.

3. Online shopping


We're poor. We're in college and we have no money to spend. But does that stop us from shopping the sales that never end? No.

4. Deciding to be an artist


We haven't painted or tried being artsy, aside from our Instagram feed, in a very long time. But we woke up this morning and decided it was a day to become the latest Picasso, too bad our sunset turn out like a thunderstorm.

5. Ending a relationship


This is a very rash decision that can blow up in our faces, it's an impulsive decision though so we just called up our latest bf and told him he should see other people because we're going out with the girls in an hour.

6. It's 2 A.M., we should send that text


This never ends up pretty. Phones should automatically shut off after midnight because nothing good ever comes out of impulsively texting anyone at 2 A.M. Might as well have chugged a bottle of wine because our decision making skills go right out the window once we're laying in bed looking at our phone screens... "Hey, I've liked you for a long time but never had the nerve to tell you." Girl, put the phone down and go to sleep.

7. Today is not the day


Most days we wake up and realize all of our obligations are awaiting our actions but then other days we wake up and make the decision to roll over and not put pants on all day. What can you do, today was just not the day to deal with life.

8. Baking


Baking makes us happy and sounds like a wonderful idea until we're 30 minutes in and realize we're baking 12 different things and now our hour of making yummy treats just turned into seven hours of yummy treats. Ooops. Guess we're not doing anything productive today either,

9. Going on a run


Have mercy! How did we used to be so athletic and now we get winded running to the fridge during commercials. But regardless we decided a run would be a good idea and now we're on the verge of dying and our body aches like we're 103 years old.

10. Making a Tinder


Remember that boyfriend we dump a little bit ago? Well he's off seeing other people now and we're home on Friday night sitting in our sweat pants. We need to get back in the game, what better way to hoist yourself onto a guy's radar than advertising your hottest selfies with a cute bio that says your into the outdoorsy activities and rescuing puppies on the weekends.

11. Getting a tattoo


Just don't get it on your forehead or somewhere completely visible to your parents. We'll tell them about the piercing first and try to ease them into it. Sorry, not sorry.

All of these impulsive decisions have the potential to be life altering but that doesn't mean the next time we do it we're going to put anymore thought into it.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
