The 11 Stages Of Growing Your Hair Out

Whether it's your weird middle school haircut or your "new hair, new me" college haircut, almost all of us have decided to try out the short hair style. Maybe you looked fabulous and found your new forever hairstyle. Or maybe you're like me and like the short hair but miss so many things about your long hair. The journey begins now.

1. "Short hair is fabulous."

It's super easy to fix and takes me 2.5 seconds to blow dry. Short hair is the best hair.

2. "Time to go out, gotta curl my hair."

Good gosh. This is not going to work.

3. "Okay, so I've decided to grow my hair back out. I don't like this anymore."

Ah... How naive you were in this decision. You thought it was going to be as easy as cutting off your hair. Wrong, sister, just wrong.

4. "It's so weird that it's taking this long."

But maybe it's just hard to get it started. Just keep it cool.


5. "This is ridiculous."

Okay, you're definitely not keeping it cool.

6. "So I bought Mane 'n' Tail."

The research has begun. My hairstylist and google say horse shampoo is the way to go. Horse shampoo. Really.

7. "Maybe short hair isn't that bad. I'm about to cut it back off I hate this awkwardness."

The second thoughts have begun. What have I gotten myself into?

8. "There's no going back now."

No, hold out. You've made it this far. You can do it.

9. "Wow, love your hair. Want to donate it... to me?"

You start to stalk girls on Instagram who have long luscious hair. In public, you find yourself staring at these plentiful beauties. You've got yourself a hair crush.

10. "I'd like to thank everyone who believed in me."

You made it. Everyone around you is so happy they no longer have to hear about your hair struggles.

11. "Okay, I'm tired of this. My hair's too heavy it's giving me a headache."

Back to square one.

Unlike a lot of things you can do, a haircut isn't a forever decision. The locks will grow back, thank goodness. So cut your dang hair. Rock it.

But keep in mind, it's a long journey back.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
