9 Things You Shouldn't Say If Your Girl Cuts Her Hair

Asia Richardson

If you're like me, you love changing your hair on a monthly basis. I love wearing wigs and box braids. I love cutting and dying my hair as well.

It's a way of expressing one's self and provides creativity in a fun way. When changing your hair often is a way of expressing yourself, it can be pretty difficult when others judge you for it, especially if it's your significant other.

Here are some things that have been said to me that you shouldn't say to your girlfriend or loved one if she decides to cut her hair.

1. "I liked it better when it was longer."

Giphy

No. Just, no. There is no way to magically grow it back in one second so don't try to make her regret it.

2. "You kind of look like a guy."

Giphy

REALLY? If your girlfriend identifies as a girl, chances are she wouldn't like being called a boy. Don't do this, please.

3. "Why don't you wear a wig or extensions?"

Asia Richardson

I love wearing wigs but if you tell me to cover up a haircut that I paid for because you don't like it, then I probably will have to go back to being single.

4. "How long do you think it'll take to grow back?"

Giphy

Probably longer than you're relationship will last if you keep asking dumb questions.

5. "Don't cut it again."

Giphy

Having a girlfriend doesn't mean having a piece of property so don't even attempt to tell her what to do. It's the same with loved ones as well.

6. "You must be insecure with yourself."

Asia Richardson

This hurts coming from anyone. Contrary to popular belief, you don't have to be in a bad place in your life to want to randomly cut your hair down short.

7. "You look gay."

Giphy

It's 2018 people. Girls can have short hair, guys can have long hair, and "gay" IS NOT an insult.

8. "I don't like short hair on a girl."

Giphy

Everyone is allowed to have a preference but if you've already made her your girlfriend and you care more about her hair than her, then you shouldn't be dating her.

9. "If you don't stay consistent, people will think you don't know yourself."

Asia Richardson

All in all, it IS just hair. It will grow back. Why can't I change my hair often and also know exactly who I am?

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.

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.
