The Half-Bun. Don't Knock It 'Til You've Tried It

I don't know about you but personally, I am a huge fan of style comebacks.  Little black plastic chokers? Yes please. Bell bottoms? Hello! Baby butterfly clips? Duh. PONCHOS? Hell yeah.

One of the more recent comebacks that is my absolute fave is the half-up-bun.  I used to rock the hair half back look in the good old fourth grade, so now that this trend is back and ready to FSU, life is good again.

There are many perks, really, to the hairdo of the future.  Ponytails are like, so two years ago. 

Its truly ideal when you're really busy...

...When you're working on a thousand essays at a time with your head down in ~full concentration~, its nice to have just a little bit of your hair back and out of your face.  The half-bun makes it super easy for you to keep your hair out of your face! Not to mention it makes it easier to focus on the Shakespeare you're supposed to be reading instead of the noisy Kappa Sig pledges sitting at the table across from you.

Its easy as 1, 2, 3...

...When you slap that itty bitty bun on top of your head life becomes super carefree.  Your confidence goes higher than the baby bun sittin on ya skull.

You'll seem super trendy and chic...

...Even if you're not.  This hairstyle literally turns you from amateur to amazing in two seconds flat.  A friend recently told me they wear the half-bun "Because it's cool, IDK."

Its all the rage these days...

...This comeback aint goin nowhere, ladies and gents.  Harry Styles is even catching on to the craze, so like, drool: 

I mean if you're not convinced after THAT, then I just think all hope is lost for you.  Love me, Harry.

*anyways*

Even Justin Bobby knew all along what he was doing.  That is right, people, JUSTIN BOBBY.  You remember old school MTV, right?  I mean we're talking about the OG badass of "reality" TV, so he probably thought that he would be the first to set this trend meanwhile showing off his charming personality (?).

If none of those convinced you, then this better:

Even Princess Kate is down with the half-up hairdo, so if she can rock it, you can too guys!

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.

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.
