Hair Experiments?
Pinterest Hair Colors

I love hair! I like curly, straight, wavy hair! I was really close to pursuing a career in Cosmetology, which entails working with hair, makeup and nails. I discovered I enjoyed experimenting with hair in middle school. That was when I began dying my hair. I have had my hair brown-red, dark brown, light brown, dark black, half red, half pink, half purple and caramel highlights. (I'd totally show pictures- but that means exposing my pictures from middle school and that AIN'T going to happen).


When I would dye it in middle and high school I used the hair dyes from Wal-Mart. I would do it myself and it would last for about three months. When I saw it fading I would get excited and began to think of a different new color to try.


In previous articles I have mentioned how I like a change in my routine and that goes for almost everything I do. I enjoyed starting the school year, semester with a new hairstyle. Something had to change whether it was a hair cut or hair color.

Aside from dying it, I also began to style it. In seventh grade I discovered the straightener. My hair is naturally curly; I mean I wouldn’t straighten my hair EVERY day, just more than I like to count. What I did not discover though was the heat protectant. So yes as you can imagine I damaged my hair REALLY bad. It turned out to be dry and filled with split ends. I was set on having long hair so I did not cut it much, YEAH I KNOW!


Sooner or later I figured it was what I had to do because it could grow back and it did. Towards the end of high school I decided to cut my hair once. I had a salon where I would always go with my family, however once they left my hair uneven. Not EXTREMELY uneven but enough to notice. My haircut did not come out that bad actually; I just decided to take the scissors in my hands after a five minute YouTube video. I cut my sister’s hair once too into a v-shape, it looked amazing…(well you know at least even).

Let me get back to the hairstyling. I completely LOVE to style hair. Whether mine, my sister, mom, friend, whoever! Of course NOW I use the heat protectant. But I find it very therapeutic when I style hair. It only takes me about 20 minutes or so to do mine (depending whether I straighten it or do tight/loose curls). There are times when I offer my friends to curl their hair because I really enjoy it. I used to curl my hair at the USU restrooms sometimes (I’d get there early). I once curled my friends hair there too because she had a presentation, so I brought in a chair and everything (again it was early) but it was fun!

Either way, styling hair is one of MANY hobbies. I had fun experimenting with it whether it was with scissors or colors. I always encourage my friends to cut their own hair but they think I am crazy. You just never know until you try it! These are the BEST years to experiment with hair! I may just dye it one of these colors because aren't they HOT?

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.

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.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
