The Haircut That Shook The World

The apocalypse is now, and it's Alexander Skarsgard's fault.

The world is basically going to sh*t right now, but you already knew that.

Now I'm here to make it worse by talking about the elephant in the room.

Yes, we have a sexual predator/ flamin' hot cheeto as our president (I could give him many more accurate labels but that would take up my entire existence so...), mother nature is rebelling against the terrible ways we have treated her, and bigotry and hatred have transformed themselves into too many acts of terror to count.

But, more importantly, Alexander Skarsgard has just cut his hair.


R.I.P. THIS SWEDISH HAIRY GOD ^^

And I'm not talking just a little snip snip here and there folks. I'm talking about a haircut that has altered the state of the world as we know it. I'm talking full on bald crown, the kind of bald that makes you stop dead in your tracks and think, "Huh. That guy would be hot if he wasn't so...bald."

Alex solely shaved the middle of his head, and to top it off, he had the sides trimmed unevenly, aging him twenty years into the future, a future that entails a man who refuses to use, or at least try, Rogaine. Alexander Skarsgard has seemingly gone from sexy vampire to awkward dad in two seconds, and it is highly unsettling. And no, he's not eligible for DILF either because DILFS either A) have luscious hair that rivals that of Harry Styles B) Have classy buzz cuts or C) Have such amazing beards that you don't notice the top of their heads (AKA cool hipster daddies).

Like, how dare he? How dare he cut his hair when he knows how bad all our lives are. I rely on sexy celebrity men to get me through the day. His luscious blonde locks are what motivated me to get out of bed in the morning (plus my cats screaming at me to feed them), and without his hair, I am nothing. You are nothing. We are nothing.

I don't know what to do. Not only do we have balding dads, a balding president, balding bald eagles--we now also have a balding Alexander Skarsgard, a sign that the end is near. I want to scream into the abyss. I want to rage against the machine. I'm so far gone that I have actually considered diving back into religion just so that I can have a higher power in my life to make sense of this mess.

Hopefully, Alex will grow his hair back to its natural, beautifully golden state. Only then will be able to rest easy, to lead normal lives. May the odds be ever in our favor.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
