The Day The World Stopped Turning: Harry Styles Cuts His Hair

If you Google search, "Harry Styles hair," you will come across over 13 million results.

If you Google search "Presidential election standings," you will come across a whopping 334,000 results.

This is due to the fact that people clearly have their priorities straight. Just a short week ago (although, for civilians it may feel like a lifetime ago), the ex-One Direction heartthrob Harry Styles chopped off his legendary hair.

That's right folks. The unthinkable ... occurred.

Naturally, the internet was almost shut down. Women and children across the world collapsed to the ground. Power lines came down. Snow began falling in the middle of May. A few fans reported their own hair sporadically falling out -- and we don't know yet whether families or individuals will ever recover from the tragedy. In grievance, many tech-savvy Direction Junkies took to the popular social media site Twitter to express their feelings of ache and agony. See below.


Only recently did real photo evidence of The Cut hit the Internet, which simply added fuel to the already ruthless fire. Harry was seen in public with the hair (or lack thereof) shielded only by a simple hat. Fan fanatics instantly began trending the hashtag #TakeTheHatOffHarry, eager to see a 360-view of their favorite-human-in-the-world-that-they-have-never-met-but-still-are-entitled-to-control. One has yet to surface, but there's no way he can avoid the rampage for much longer.

The good news is, so far, no one has been injured. There are no fatalities to report, besides, apparent in the rather disturbing graveyard picture above, the isolated clump of hair itself. However, the reaction that can be followed on the internet itself was relatively scarring. In mere seconds, every platform of social media was zealously devoted to The Cut, and the News subsection of the internet was scroll and scrolls worth of Styles. Once one gets over that initial heart-stopping, stomach-dropping, coma-inducing state of shock and nausea, it can be seen that the hair was unsurprisingly cut for a good cause. The singer had been planning to donate his locks since December 2015, and now is arranging a donation to an organization named Little Princess Trust, which builds wigs for children who have lost their hair from receiving cancer treatment.

That little part makes the whole situation a whole lot more respectable.

Physically, I cannot deny that when I initially heard the news, I, too, was sent into a frenzy of madness that had me questioning every decision I have made in the past four years. For a minute, time froze. The sun hung in the sky without a purpose. Having said that, let us take a collective deep breath, because really, not much has changed here. Harry is still Harry. Crime is still rising at a steady rate. Schools are still suffering from extreme budget cuts. Syrians are still being forced to flee their country.

Plus, the web tells us that the Presidential election standings are still less relevant than Harry Styles' hair!

And so, the frenzy will die down.

Once again, all will be well.

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.
