11 Things Only Hairstylists Understand
Megan Nel

These problems only hairstylists will understand...


Stylist: "So how is your dog Wendy doing these days?"

Client: "I once had a fish named Fred... Is that what you are talking about?"

Stylist: "....Yes?"

2. "I want my hair to look voluminous, but without the volume."

Yes, and I want a unicorn to feed me strawberries while floating on a magical, sparkly lake....

3. Taking off gloves after coloring and realizing there was old color inside

Well, now my pretty pink manicure looks like mustard stains... fantastic!

4. Talking over a hairdryer

Just smile and nod, lets just hope she didn't just tell you her grandpa died last week.

5. Cutting a fidgety clients' hair

If you don't sit still now I will cut a piece of your hair and call it an 'accident'. Do I have your attention now?

6. "I cut my own hair"


Yes, we can tell...The worst part of this situation is when they think it actually looks good.

7.When the client refuses to believe a picture is Photoshoped

Stylist: "This picture is edited."

Client: "Yes, I want my hair to look like this."

Stylist: *sighs*

8. Trying to bring more color into your wardrobe


Everything you buy is black, or some variation on black. And if bleach lightens some part of our favorite shirt the black Sharpie will come out!

9. Doing our makeup and hair on an off day is a big nope!

Why do we want to go through all that trouble, we'll be hiding from the world anyway.

10. Seeing a client outside of the salon

Even when you did a great job on their hair, it is still a little awkward to say hello...

11. Removing all the little hairs stuck in your shirts and bras

How did it even get there? Needless to say, baby powder is our favorite thing. (Also a teasing brush, it works like magic)

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
