haircut - n. the act of women forgetting the tears and regret of previous haircuts

Every girl is guilty of going through these stages leading up to and following the permanent decision of a haircut. A haircut can sometimes define a person which makes sense why it can cause regret and stress.

1. Deciding to change up your look.

Everyone goes through that moment where they want a new look which usually means a drastic haircut. These changes range from chopping inches off to new hair colors and sometimes even bangs.

2. Then proceeding to browse the depths of Pinterest for hours.

Once you finally commit to changing up your look, you have to find the perfect hairstyle. This calls for hours upon hours of searching Pinterest.

3. Asking your mom for a second opinion.

After searching through the internet, you typically are stuck between multiple hairstyles that vary slightly. With such a life changing decision, you have no other choice but to ask your mom. Not only can she help break the tie, but she also helps ease your nerves of cutting your hair.

4. Finally deciding to make an appointment.

Finally after going through the hassle of committing and deciding, the day comes to make an appointment with your hairdresser.

5. Then the second guessing sets in on the big day.

It's the big day! The day where you contemplate canceling the appointment on the drive over, but somehow end up seated in a hair salon chair.

6. But you've already committed to your decision so you go through with it.

While sitting in the hairdresser's chair, you push all of your second thoughts aside and go through with the haircut.

7. Looking at the floor and seeing how much of your hair has been cut.

Then your hairdresser makes the first cut and you look on the ground to see inches of hair. Starting to panic, you wonder if its too late to change your mind.

8. When you finally see the finished product.

Your hairdresser finally turns the chair around so you can see your hair in the mirror asking if you love it. Of course not wanting to be rude, you usually lie saying you love it or it was just what you wanted.

9. Then having the hair shock set in.

Once you get to your car, you pull out your mirror to get a second look at your hair. That's when the hair shock hits you and you realize the horrible mistake you made.

10. Then the tears start.

After this horrible realization is where the tears start. Why would anyone let you make this decision??

11. Days later everywhere you look you see long hair.

As the days pass, you constantly see people in public or on TV with hair that looks like yours did before the haircut. It must be a conspiracy because they're everywhere.

12. After a few weeks your new hair finally grows on you.

You somehow accept your new hair and realize its actually really cute!! It really has nothing to do with the fact that everyone else cut their hair the same way, promise!

13. Once your hair finally grows out realizing that you need a change.

Eventually, your hair grows back to its old length and come to the decision that you need a haircut. Obviously you forgot what happened last time you cut your hair.

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.

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?
