Who is afraid of that sound the scissors make before it takes a chunk of your dignity? That awful slicing sound that slithers in your ears and wraps around your heart like a sliding serpent? Yes you all know what I’m talking about. I am talking about haircut anxiety. For every one person in the world who has been blessed with a perfect haircut, there are at least 5 other people who got cut the shorter end of the stick. People with haircut horror stories so bad, some never bring it up. Instead they let that haircut die either under a hat or in a hair-tie, never to surface again and tell its ugly pony-tale to a world so ready to laugh. This is the adventure, that I, an avid opposer of haircuts for just this very reason, will be going up against. I will face the demonic scissors, and I will cut my own destiny regardless of what is thrown in face. Because despite the fact that hair seems like something fragile and unchangeable, somehow we forget that hair can rebound better than anything in life. With either money or time one can fix any hair style go away. While it may seem like a larger-than-life commitment, something truly unprecedented from you, I urge you all to embark on this journey with me. Grab that long hair and tell yourself, it doesn't have to be big change, but this year it is gonna change. There are so many final decisions in life: where to go to college, what to major in, what job you should take, which alcohol to buy, and what outfit to wear, that a simple hair cut shouldn’t even matter in the faces of all these larger than life decisions. So, if you’re that one person out there who's sitting on their ass with a head full of hair and the hope for a better new year but lacking the guts to do anything about it, I urge you to grab your anxiety by the roots, so that you can re-mane in control.
