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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
