Five Ways To Spice Up Your Ponytail
Megan Nel

Ponytails; simple, yet elegant. It is not very difficult to do yourself, but it can be a little boring. This article will help you spice up your pony.

Wrap it

Let's face it, elastic bands are a little ugly, but how do we get it out of sight; simple, we wrap it. Simply take a small section of your pony and wrap it around the elastic, securing with a pin. Boom!! Instantly beautiful.

Lengthen it

If your hair is a little on the more sparse side try making it look fuller with this cool trick. Split hair into 2 halves and make ponies close to each other, the closer the better. your pony will immediately look longer.

Braid it


Okay, so this trick requires a little more skill, and not everyone will be able to do it. Section out hair and make a braid (outside braids look best) play with it by doing braids from the nape, or diagonally. You can make the braid look a little fuller by tugging at the loops.

Twist it


If you don't want the hair hanging down boring like spice it up by making the pony and splitting it into two. Twist both halves clockwise and wrap around each other counterclockwise. This is also sometimes called the rope braid.

Accessorize


Don't be afraid to add a little bling! Small flower, bow, or sparkly clips are available almost everywhere. Placing it near the elastic will not only take attention away from the band, but also lighten up your hairstyle with a little fun. If you are feeling adventurous go bigger.

As you can see it is very easy to make your style look more complex, even if it takes almost no extra effort!

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.
