Taking Risks with Mermaid Hair Trend

Have you ever secretly wanted to be a mermaid? Well, now you’re in luck. No, seriously. You can be anything your heart desires. You really can be a mermaid, thanks to a trend that was popular this summer.

Stars, including Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Vanessa Hudgins, and Hilary Duff, have rocked the mermaid hair look. Now ordinary people can too.

The look is created first by bleaching hair blond for the canvas. Then, a hairstylist creates ombre with many colors including teal, green, pink, and purple:


There are quite a few blogs and Do- It-Yourself tutorials online about how to get the look. When I saw mermaid hair on my Pinterest and Instagram feeds, I felt left out. Even men are getting in on the mermen trend, dying their hair and beards different colors:


I bet I know what you’re thinking now. I want to dye my hair! There are several issues to consider first. Are you willing to bleach your hair platinum blond, then bleach it again? Indeed, the process can dry out your hair. People I follow online who have partaken in the mermaid/ mermen trend say they have to use special shampoos and conditioners. If you do decide to parktake in the trend, make sure that you are100% honest with your hairdresser about the history of dying your hair.

What do you think? Would you be willing to beach your hair and use special hair products to look like a mermaid?

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.

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.
