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.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.

Blair Waldorf
Stop Hollywood

For those of you who have watched "Gossip Girl" before (and maybe more than just once), you know how important of a character Blair Waldorf is. Without Blair, the show doesn’t have any substance, scheme, or drama. Although the beginning of the show started off with Blair’s best friend Serena returning from boarding school, there just simply is no plot without Blair. With that being said, Blair’s presence in the show in much more complex than that. Her independent and go-getter ways have set an example for "Gossip Girl" fans since the show started and has not ended even years after the show ended. Blair never needed another person to define who she was and she certainly didn’t need a man to do that for her. When she envisioned a goal, she sought after it, and took it. This is why Blair’s demeanor encompasses strong women like her.
