10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Getting A Pixie Cut

I first chopped my long locks when I was 14. It was an accident really? I’d tried to give myself a cool haircut and ended up having to get a pixie. I was devastated. But little did I know it would be the most amazing thing that could have happened to me. Here’s what I learned while having a pixie cut.


1. It will look odd at first but only because you know nothing about your hair. So look at YouTube videos and don’t get the same pixie haircut your 50 year old stylist has like I did. It doesn’t look that bad, right?!

2. Everyone will be talking about it for the first few days. Enjoy being center of attention. Afterwards, you'll be a go-to for pixie cuts and haircuts in general because you'll be getting them every 5-6 weeks.

3. You dad might hate it and will remind you everyday of your mistake and how you will never find a suitor (mine still does). p.s. that’s not my dad.

4. You can pull of headbands like nobody’s business.

5. And dye your hair different colors.







6. You become the “pixie” off all your friends. They come to you for advice on hair and how to look fabulous all the time!

7. Your hair will be healthier than it was before. My long hair was so dry and had so many split ends I couldn’t bare it. My pixie hair doesn’t and is so shiny and silky. I love it!

8. It takes FOREVER to get it looking good. Seriously!

9. You look good in everything! And not everyone can pull it off. But you did, Sunshine!


10. You will fall in love with it and probably never want to grow it out! (I unfortunately do, maybe).

Bonus: 11. You look back at old picture and can’t even remember having long hair.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
