Everyone has had that late night thought, "I wonder what I'd look like with X hair color." Everyone has also had that moment of "Should I really dye my hair?" Well, I have an answer for you: absolutely!!! I will always advocate for a transformation, especially in the hair color department and here's six reasons why.

1. Because You Can

First and foremost, dye your hair because you can. It's not permanent, even if you use permanent dye. You hair will grow back out. Even if it turns out awful, guess what? You can just do it again! Plus sometimes it's good to do stuff just because you can.

2. It Gives You A Confidence Boost

No matter if your a dyi kinda gal or you want to a salon, there is nothing like walking out of the house with a fresh dye job and your hair perfectly styled. It just adds a little oomph to your look and a little pep in your step.

3. The Best Time To Try Out That Neon Pink Hair Color Is Your College Years

Let's take a moment and be honest with ourselves here. When else is perfectly acceptable to dye your hair crazy colors? Do you think your boss is going to be thrilled when you walk into their office with bright purple/green/pink/orange hair? Probably not. Some of you may have done the bright hair thing in middle or high school, but let's be honest: it didn't really work on you back then.

I mean does anyone who had pink hair in middle school look back and think "that was a good look"? Nope. But now that you're older you have a little more experience on how to style that pink hair, it'll it be much more becoming.

4. To Jump Start Getting Over Whatever Phase Or Rut You've Been Stuck In

We all get stuck in those places in life. The ones where you just feel kind of bleh. Or when you know you've been in a phase (like that middle school goth phase) for too long. Dying your hair is a great way to start getting out of that mindset! Whether that's going for more a natural look or amping it up and adding some fun color, sometimes it's good to start with an easy (and non-permanent) physical change.

5. To Show That One Ex That You're Def Way Hotter Without Them

We all know that when a girl dyes her hair after a break she is through with them. She is fed up and moving on to greener pastures, better housing, sparkling water, you name it-she's improving it. Dying your hair that color that your ex always told you not to but you knew would look good on you is so satisfying. Not only do you get to prove them wrong, but you get to be even hotter than before.

6. To Reminder Yourself That Change Can Be Good

Sometimes when you're going through a lot of changes it can be overwhelming and make you hate change. I mean some people just hate change in general even if they're not going through any changes. But either way dying your hair a stunning color can make you remember that change can be a good thing.

So no matter if you're going to dye your hair yourself or have it done professionally, just take the dive. It's not permanent and can be a lot of fun! Just go for it!

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
