Getting a hair cut for women is not just an emotion process since once the first cut is made, there is no turning back causing the anxiety to rise and doubt to form. We have all been through the stressful ups and downs from finding the perfect hair cut and the physical cut, but it usually all starts out the same.

1. Photo bingeing. Before any extreme or minor cuts, the amount of photos searched would cause anyone to see stars. However long it takes and how many photos we look at, the final decision on settling on one photo is almost as challenging as getting your hair cut.

2. Self-doubt. We all seek approval from others to ensure we aren't crazy and that they will like the haircut you picked out. No shocker everyone will tell you it'll look great and to "totally go for it!" but still the doubts are there.

3. Making the appointment. Call the salon is the surreal feeling that makes your choice more finalized, bringing detachment issues to the long lengths you currently have. You made the date, whats done is done, almost.

4. Getting to the salon. Between making the appointment and when you actually get there, you have looked at the photo 500 more times, looked through other pictures to reassure the hair devil on your shoulder that the photo you picked and got approval on is what you want. Yet, this little devil constantly feeds thoughts as you slowly approach the dreadful chair

5. The cut. The hair dresser picks the tool of choice, and as the scissors start getting closer and closer you hold your breath and embrace the "new you."

6. Or as the scissors get close you completely wimp out and only get the dead ends cut with nothing else changed.

7. Mindless conversation. As you analyze every snip the hairdresser is making, the keep making small talk as if they know getting chatty will distract you from the amount of hair flying to the floor.

8. That was snip was way more than an inch!!

9. The snipping stops. That final moment where you can finally exhale and breathe again, but you can finally see how much hair is on the floor and no longer on your head *RIP*

10. Blowdried and styled. You finally get to witness the transformation and you love it! The length is short but needed to be done, its feels light and fresh, and you are absolutely feeling yourself.

11. You wash and dry your newly cut hair but notice that it isn't flipping the same way and it's going crazy sticking out in every direction. You hate it, you want your old hair back causing envious thoughts at every person who has longer hair than you.

12. After a couple more washes and a couple of days to grow out, you finally satisfied since your hair finally cooperated and you stopped holding a grudge to where you both can run off into the sunset.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
