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.

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.
