11 Struggles For Girls With Short Hair

1. The First Time You Cut It Off

It's a real struggle. You wake up the next morning and your head, neck and ears are freezing. You can feel the air blowing on your head, and you start wondering when it will grow back.

2. The First Shower

It's amazing and fearful at the same time. You don't need to use as much shampoo and conditioner, which is a struggle but then again, you don't clog the drain anymore because your hair is less than two inches long.

3. When Someone Says They Liked Your Long Hair Better

That's cool. You know what I liked better? When you kept your opinions to yourself. That was nice.

4. And Then They Asked You If You Are Going To Grow It Back Out

No. I am not. Please do not ask me again. As much as I complain, I actually love my hair. Thank you, though.

5. The Classic Question: "Are You A Lesbian?"

My answer is no again. Please stop asking. I like my hair short. I date men. Men seem to like my hair. Go away please.

6. Having To Go To The Hairdresser Every Two Weeks

You hate it when you have friends who complain about going to the hairdresser every two months or so when you have to go every two weeks or you will start growing some mullet-type hair cut.

7. Bed Head Makes You Look Like a Crazy Person

People think short hair is easier to take care of - it's not. I look like I got electrocuted every morning.

8. Winter Time is a Struggle

You do not have anything to keep you warm. You want to wear a beanie, but then you look like a bald englishman.

9. When Someone Asks If You Were Going Through A Crisis

A lot of the time, people think you had a mental breakdown and just cut off a chunk of your hair with scissors. Trust me, cutting off 13 inches of your hair takes a lot of planning. We probably didn't want to part with it in the first place.

10. Never Knowing Which Product To Use

You look up a bunch of tutorials, and they keep on throwing different products at you. What is a heat protectant, and why do I need to use it?

11. Even Though Its A Daily Struggle, You Love Your Short Hair

Every day you hear the same comments and get the stares, but you would never trade your short hair for the world. It was probably the best decision you've ever made.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
