The Power Of The Hair Flip
Emi Peterson

Women are majestic creatures. We are also complex creatures, but so are men, if we’re being honest. Our actions are often why we are perceived as complex, because not everyone knows how to take them. Again, if we’re being honest, that’s their problem, not ours. To shed light on one action and try to help people understand, I’m going to help you decode hair flips. There are good ones, there are bad ones, there are sassy ones, and all the ones in between. They are a powerful weapon in a woman’s arsenal of majestic-ness. Hair flips can mean many different things and be deciphered in many different ways. They range from light and cute, to classy and sassy, or just plain ratchet. However, you have to know what you’re working with, so the key is to make sure you are using and reading them correctly. So, to know what you're dealing with, here is your guide to using and decoding hair flips successfully. Below are what I believe to be the 12 main types of hair flips. Use them wisely.

1. Cute

The light, happy-go-lucky, go-to hair flip for casually thing to be cute.

2. Classy

When no one is on your level. Werk, it girl.

3. I'm Feeling Myself

I know I look good.

4. Fun

Did someone say party?

5. Sassy

I do what I want.


6. Flirty

Take a hint already.

7. You're in Big Trouble


Did you really just do that?

8. Fierce

I am a majestic unicorn of fierceness and no one can touch me.

9. Serious

It's about to get real.

10. Show No Weakness

My turf, my rules.

11. I'm Trying to Keep it Together


I almost cried, but don't worry I flipped away the tears.

12. You're Wasting My Time

Like, can you move on already?

13. I Don't Give a Finna

Speaks for itself. Personal fav.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
