Getting a hair cut for women is not just an emotion process since once the first cut is made, there is no turning back causing the anxiety to rise and doubt to form. We have all been through the stressful ups and downs from finding the perfect hair cut and the physical cut, but it usually all starts out the same.

1. Photo bingeing. Before any extreme or minor cuts, the amount of photos searched would cause anyone to see stars. However long it takes and how many photos we look at, the final decision on settling on one photo is almost as challenging as getting your hair cut.

2. Self-doubt. We all seek approval from others to ensure we aren't crazy and that they will like the haircut you picked out. No shocker everyone will tell you it'll look great and to "totally go for it!" but still the doubts are there.

3. Making the appointment. Call the salon is the surreal feeling that makes your choice more finalized, bringing detachment issues to the long lengths you currently have. You made the date, whats done is done, almost.

4. Getting to the salon. Between making the appointment and when you actually get there, you have looked at the photo 500 more times, looked through other pictures to reassure the hair devil on your shoulder that the photo you picked and got approval on is what you want. Yet, this little devil constantly feeds thoughts as you slowly approach the dreadful chair

5. The cut. The hair dresser picks the tool of choice, and as the scissors start getting closer and closer you hold your breath and embrace the "new you."

6. Or as the scissors get closeyou completely wimp out and only get the dead ends cut with nothing else changed.

7. Mindless conversation. As you analyze every snip the hairdresser is making, the keep making small talk as if they know getting chatty will distract you from the amount of hair flying to the floor.

8. That was snip was way more than an inch!!

9. The snipping stops. That final moment where you can finally exhale and breathe again, but you can finally see how much hair is on the floor and no longer on your head *RIP*

10. Blowdried and styled. You finally get to witness the transformation and you love it! The length is short but needed to be done, its feels light and fresh, and you are absolutely feeling yourself.

11. You wash and dry your newly cut hair but notice that it isn't flipping the same way and it's going crazy sticking out in every direction. You hate it, you want your old hair back causing envious thoughts at every person who has longer hair than you.

12. After a couple more washes and a couple of days to grow out, you finally satisfied since your hair finally cooperated and you stopped holding a grudge to where you both can run off into the sunset.

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.

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.

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
