Oops, I Shaved My Head Again

I forgot there were so many things I loved about having short hair.

A little less than a year ago, I wrote an article about what shaving my head taught me. In the process of growing my hair back out for the first time in a couple of years, I had realized I was finally comfortable growing it out again because I no longer felt the need to hide behind it.

By the time last November came around, my hair reached just above my shoulders. However, in December, I caved into dying my hair again. Since then, my hair's been feeling a little less than stellar. To be quite honest, my curls haven't been the same for a while, either.

My little brother has also been trying to convince me to cut my hair off again for a few weeks now. So, this past weekend, I let him chop it off for me.

It hasn't been too long since I've had my hair this short, but growing it out made me completely forget all the things I love about having my hair short. I'm not even a week into this change, and I'm completely obsessed with it. I genuinely forgot there were so many things I love about keeping my hair short.

Having to manage a full head of my hair tends to be a lot of work, and recently, I was beginning to get tired of all the upkeep it requires. Keeping my hair short means I have an undercut I don't need to fuss over, and half a head of curls that I would say are maybe four or five inches long (but don't quote me on that).

Compared to the length I had to manage before, this is a piece of cake.

The shorter length also means less weight on my head. I've suffered from chronic migraines for a while now, so this is a pretty big win for me. My hair was really starting to have an effect on my headaches. I also couldn't wear it up anymore without inducing a headache or making one worse.

At the end of the day, hair usually grows back. If you've been contemplating making a big chop, take the leap. You might just fall in love with your hair all over again.

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.

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.
