The Thoughts Of A Man With Long Hair

I just thought I would vent a little.

The Thoughts Of A Man With Long Hair
Huffington Post

While I do enjoy having long hair, it does take a little longer to get ready in the morning. I also have to put in a little more effort to make sure it stays healthy as well. Here are some questions men with long hair will often ask themselves.

1. If I grow out my “beard," aka random patches of hair on my face, do I look like a hobo?

I do my best to look clean shaven, but that never really happens. While at the moment I might be clean shaven, give it a week and I will look like a guy off the corner. I will have random spots of hair growing on my neck and uneven hair on the sides of my face. I wish my beard was as perfect as this guy’s:

2. Do I look like a girl from behind?

Since my hair is down to my shoulders now, is it beginning to look girly? I have gotten compliments on my hair because it looks so natural and so beautiful, which are weird, even if there were from my mom. I would rather hear about how big my muscles look (if only...).

3. Why will my hair not stay up like it does when it is short?

While I do like my hair flowing in the wind, I wish I didn't have to wake up and brush it every morning. I loved having the bowl cut hair back in my elementary days when all I would have to do in the morning is just dab some water on it and I was good to go. Now I actually have to try to look decent, thanks to my knotty hair.

4. Do I play with my hair more than girls?

I used to make fun of girls that would constantly braid their hair or play with it in the middle of class, and now I am beginning to be like one of them. I often find myself running my hand through my hair constantly in class. I hope nobody has gotten annoyed with me yet.

5. Why can't I throw my hair up so I don't have to deal with it today?

I have always struggled putting my hair up in a ponytail. Girls do it so viciously and so quickly while I am trying to not rip every single hair out of my head. I was smart enough to make the Dean’s List, but I still can’t put my hair in a ponytail. Look what colleges are teaching us these days.

6. Do people really think I look like Jesus?

Many of my friends say call me “Jesus” because I apparently look like Jesus. I suppose when a man has long hair and a little bit of chin hair they are considered Jesus. While I cannot be compared to our savior Jesus Christ, I guess some believe we look alike.

7. I remember when it only took me five minutes to take a shower.

I remember taking a shower used to be so simple and it would only take five minutes. Now I have to make sure I actually wash my hair and put some effort into it. Drying off my hair sucks, too. Apparently you can’t dry it off like it is short hair, that would be too "damaging."

Many people ask why I haven’t cut my hair. I use a couple of reasons that can be taken however people want.

1. It shows patience in a man not cutting his hair.

2. I cannot afford a haircut.

3. I'm going for the "hippy" look.

To be honest, I don't know why I haven’t cut my hair in so long, but I can tell you that it has not hurt anything or anyone else by letting it grow out, so why not?

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.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
