The Girl With 1,000 Faces

Expressing yourself is more important than be considered professional.

Some people have their cars, computers, or a sport, I have dying/cutting my hair. I just dyed my hair for the 1,000th time and every time I change my look in someway I feel more confident, comfortable, and just over all happier.

I have changed my look so many times through my life that my friends never get used to one look. Earlier this year I cut all of my hair off and vowed to never color my hair again, but as much as I tried, I just did not feel like myself without changing my own appearance again.

I have changed so much about my looks over the years, and every time I do something I get the same comment; "Why are you changing who you are?" Here is my answer to that; I am who I am and I will always be myself. Just because I get a new piercing, a tattoo, a new haircut, or fake eyelashes, it does not mean that I am changing who I am as a person. In reality the things I do to change my look is another way I am finding myself and who I REALLY am.


I am 20-years-old and only continuing to discover myself and the best way for me is to change my look very often. So, next time you see someone constantly changing her or his look, don't judge them as being fake or like someone else accept them for their bad-ass choices to express who they really are and who they are discovering to be. Everyone changes over time, some more drastically than others. I love that I live in a generation that does not judge for "crazy hair colors "and piercings, because that is who I am, and I will always continue changing, that is my best quality. I believe everyone should be comfortable in their own skin and stand up for what they believe in. I am hoping to be a role model for those younger than me, to show that it is acceptable, no matter what others say, to be who they want to be no matter what they look like or how often they change.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

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.
