haircut - n. the act of women forgetting the tears and regret of previous haircuts

Every girl is guilty of going through these stages leading up to and following the permanent decision of a haircut. A haircut can sometimes define a person which makes sense why it can cause regret and stress.

1. Deciding to change up your look.

Everyone goes through that moment where they want a new look which usually means a drastic haircut. These changes range from chopping inches off to new hair colors and sometimes even bangs.

2. Then proceeding to browse the depths of Pinterest for hours.

Once you finally commit to changing up your look, you have to find the perfect hairstyle. This calls for hours upon hours of searching Pinterest.

3. Asking your mom for a second opinion.

After searching through the internet, you typically are stuck between multiple hairstyles that vary slightly. With such a life changing decision, you have no other choice but to ask your mom. Not only can she help break the tie, but she also helps ease your nerves of cutting your hair.

4. Finally deciding to make an appointment.

Finally after going through the hassle of committing and deciding, the day comes to make an appointment with your hairdresser.

5. Then the second guessing sets in on the big day.

It's the big day! The day where you contemplate canceling the appointment on the drive over, but somehow end up seated in a hair salon chair.

6. But you've already committed to your decision so you go through with it.

While sitting in the hairdresser's chair, you push all of your second thoughts aside and go through with the haircut.

7. Looking at the floor and seeing how much of your hair has been cut.

Then your hairdresser makes the first cut and you look on the ground to see inches of hair. Starting to panic, you wonder if its too late to change your mind.

8. When you finally see the finished product.

Your hairdresser finally turns the chair around so you can see your hair in the mirror asking if you love it. Of course not wanting to be rude, you usually lie saying you love it or it was just what you wanted.

9. Then having the hair shock set in.

Once you get to your car, you pull out your mirror to get a second look at your hair. That's when the hair shock hits you and you realize the horrible mistake you made.

10. Then the tears start.

After this horrible realization is where the tears start. Why would anyone let you make this decision??

11. Days later everywhere you look you see long hair.

As the days pass, you constantly see people in public or on TV with hair that looks like yours did before the haircut. It must be a conspiracy because they're everywhere.

12. After a few weeks your new hair finally grows on you.

You somehow accept your new hair and realize its actually really cute!! It really has nothing to do with the fact that everyone else cut their hair the same way, promise!

13. Once your hair finally grows out realizing that you need a change.

Eventually, your hair grows back to its old length and come to the decision that you need a haircut. Obviously you forgot what happened last time you cut your hair.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
